Aligned with Otares, Keeper of the Tides
These monks are patient and observant.
They train near rivers and coasts. They practice redirection more than striking.
They believe the strongest force is not resistance, but inevitability.
They rarely initiate conflict. But when drawn in, they dismantle aggression with frightening efficiency.
Water monks wake with tide cycles when near the coast.
They train extensively in redirection and grappling. They believe the strongest opponent defeats themselves if allowed enough motion.
They are patient listeners. They interrupt rarely.
They believe time erodes all obstacles.
Their internal struggle:
Passivity. Yielding too long can become avoidance.
In combat:
They absorb impact through body mechanics. They redirect aggression seamlessly. They win through exhaustion and inevitability.
Corrupted Water becomes silent resentment and hidden currents.
