Wardance is the central skill of the Wardancers. Developed into the modern
control of one's muscles by Srifat Midbere, its study provides the Wardancer
with a large degree of control over their bodies. It is this practice that
enables them to perform many attacks where those less agile can perform merely
one. The chants and crafts they learn as part of the Wardance assist them in
boosting their morale and confounding their enemy much like a desert lizard.

The newest of all the Dances of the Wardancer, skills have been developed that
enable them to amaze their foes with their shields while moving their swords in
to punish their enemies. More advanced Wardancers will often use two shields to
perform beautiful dance steps which are so foreign to their foes that they
merely stand in awe.

Leveraging the bodily control studied in Wardance, the Dance of the Blade
enables the accomplished Wardancer to use two swords independently of one
another. While the opponent is focused on the fury of one sword, the other can
be brought in to disarm him altogether. Observers of this dance are often so
distracted by its beauty that they are slain before they are aware they have
been attacked.
