The Fist of Rhalgr

Organization
In the time of the Sixth Umbral Calamity, there was a people who escaped the great flooding by following the guiding light of a meteor—a brilliant beacon which led them to the highlands of Gyr Abania. These refugees devoted themselves to Rhalgr, the Destroyer, whose streaking star had granted them salvation, and their fervent faith took solid root within the region. The order known as the Fist of Rhalgr was formed, and within their temple the devotees of the Fist tempered their body and spirit in an effort to grow closer to their deity. Through their meditations did these monks discover within themselves foci of power—chakras—and with this knowledge devised a martial art that channeled the life energies of the practitioner into destructive force.

Gyr Abania had long endured political instability, and the constant outbreaks of violence encouraged the monks to pursue their newfound martial mastery with even greater zeal. The Fist of Rhalgr evolved into a formidable military force, and gradually nurtured an alliance with the royal family of Ala Mhigo. Eventually, the Fist was integrated into the nation's standing army, thus consolidating its position and influence within the region. This arrangement, however, was not to King Theodoric's liking. In the year 1552 of the Sixth Astral Era, the King of Ruin, grown fearful of the order's political power, had the Temple of the Fist burned to the ground. The warrior monks and their teachings were lost—scattered like ashes on the wind.
