Narzaghulian Blade Master (ver 1.2)
Prestige Class

The Aurora Knights have led the City of Narzaghul for generations. Members of five noble houses of Narzaghul lead the Knights. Each of the houses has three Grand Masters that teach chosen followers how to master their chosen weapon.

The House of Noivad teaches the art of striking quickly and surely with a sword. To them speed is of the single most important aspect of fighting, for if you strike first, you may not need to strike again at all.

Members of House Noivad are among the most respected members of Narzaghulian society these days. Their open asociation with the Church of [Evil God], God of [Power?, Strength?, War?] puts them at odds with house Reniets and the followers of [NGH]. Members of this house have been the strongest supporters of the hunt of the last members of the Order of Dawn.
