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 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 series of duels, proving that battles fought with honor can turn any tide.
