CONTENT INFORMATION
The contents of the Maerd-Ka are divided into a variety of categories based on what training is applicable to which military groups, such as these examples;
- Basic Maerd-Ka:
The foundations of Maerd-Ka are split-between a proficiency in hand-to-hand and the use of martial weaponry. This primarily favours more blunt or large weaponry typically as Maerd-Ka specialises in the use of reach advantage. The fundamentals of Maerd-Ka teach Baedurin, Aeravalin and Sraelvun alike how to properly equip themselves, analyse fights and make educated decisions in combat.
- Advanced Maerd-Ka:
Advanced Maerd-Ka is only offered to those of a higher caste than the horde, offering specialisations in specific weaponry and more in depth training, Maerd-Ka focuses on efficiency and applicability; teaching Draelvasier how to survive and defend themselves as well as kill with efficiency, controlling the momentum of a fight by keeping your opponent off-balance and using superior strength to mitigate damage and reduce the difficulty of breaking an opponents guard.
- Brute Maerd-Ka:
The Brute martial variant is a vicious onslaught, a more lethal variant of Advanced Maerd-Ka that focuses on maintaining durability in the field, teamwork and quickly dispatching opponents. Brutes typically work in large groups and in warzones, and are thusly specialised in dealing with multiple opponents and fighting for longer periods of time.
- Zealot Maerd-Ka:
Zealots training is intended to produce, high-intensity and quick kills. Zealots typically operate independent of larger forces and this is mirrored by their fighting style. Essentially to win, no matter the personal cost. Zealots are trained to simply forgo personal safety for killing blows or to achieve objectives; heralding true ownership of the name 'Zealot'.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
In the earliest years of the Bryn'adûl, Tathra devised a simplistic basis for martial training for the newly spawned Draelvasier. Due to having the opportunity to input some basic training into the memories of the fresh clones; Tathra drew on a near centuries worth of combat experience to create the Maerd-Ka.
From this, the Maerd-Ka developed into an incredibly complex but easily defined martial art that enforced a mastery of the physical advantages presented to the Draelvasier. The Maerd-Ka had a focus on momentum, inflicting disabling injury and keeping opponents off-balance. The Maerd-Ka also dedicated time to dealing with technology, enforcing adaptability and versatility in regards to response to adversity.
The Maerd-Ka has seen many editions over its time in use of the Bryn'adûl, and is an incredibly deadly martial art; gifting those of prowess within its teachings tremendous lethality.
