Dhuriv (skill)

An ancient and elegant art perfected by the Sentinels of old, the skill of Dhuriv was only recently rediscovered after the woodland spirits of Dendara fled from the reach of the descendants of those long-deceased warriors. Engaging the use of the dhurive, a two-handed staff of wood fitted with punishing blades on either end, those who practice the art of Dhuriv are a deadly and mesmerizing foe.

Combining an elegant series of acrobatic techniques with the powerful strikes and flourishes made possible with the dhuriv, the Sentinel warrior is capable of numerous feats. In addition, those trained with the dhuriv know well the capabilities of a wide range of poisons, and are even able to combine the naturally occurring toxins to introduce new and more debilitating effects within their enemies.
