Skih's are hardcore.

I have known a few and they should never get mixed up with other religions. They are actually pretty alright people.

Very calm and rational. This is super out of character for them as a people.

Are all sword fights like that in real life? They're just clubbing each other with pieces of metal! :(

In this day in age, getting killed in a swordfight with a Sokh is a pretty badass way to go, imo.

I mean, compared to "crushed under airplane's blue ice" or "AIDS" or "complications due to type II diabetes", having other people say, "Yeh, no, my friend here, he got killed in a swordfight :smug: "

Medieval combat was basically finding the longest weapon you could and poking gingerly at the enemy from 15 feet away. Even Spartans wanted lefties because without the angle from a shield in the left hand Spartan phalanxes had the tendency to move to the right since the guy in the left corner kept hiding behind his neighbors shield loving it up for everyone

imagine carrying a ceremonial sword for like 40 years as part of your peaceful religion and then one day somebody pulls his out and waves it around. old men were probably popping their sword cherries all over town like horny young zorros.

Yeah most people fought with polearms with axes, daggers or clubs as back up weapons if someone got too close. Swords were really expensive and mostly for nobles.
