is pleased to announce that it has just released . The first monk guild was called the , and is located in the Serenwilde Forest Commune.

Lusternia monks first study the basic martial arts skill called 'kata', and then take specializations where the monks learn a specific weapon (for example, Shofangi learn to master deerhorn knives). This is a new combat design wherein kata and its specializations are made up of actions and modifiers, and players can make their own custom martial arts forms. For example, you can combine a kick with modifiers to make it fast and hard. Also, you can string forms together in a maneuver for more complex attack sequences.

If you are interested in martial arts and want to take a look at a unique system, you may want to give the Shofangi Guild a try. In the coming months, we hope to open 3 more monk guilds (one in each of the main player organizations), each guild having their own unique specialization.
