7. History & Lore

• The Star of the Battlefield: Sieyut is the physical, tactical evolution of the ancient battle deity Tabmoc. While Tabmoc was once a chaotic force of wild, uncoordinated rage in the 2nd World, her transition into the 5th World saw her sylvan essence disciplined and refined into Sieyut. Sieyut claimed Honor and Battle as a lawful science, fully absorbing the ancient, refined art of Dueling to cover combat of all kinds. His most celebrated myth tells of a legendary general who was surrounded by a chaotic horde; Sieyut descended as a brilliant silver star, parrying every dishonorably thrown spear and guiding the general's blade to victory in a sylvan series of duels, proving that battles fought with honor can turn any tide.
