The Vulture School



The School of the Vulture is an underground martial arts school and philosophy honoring the way of the vulture. It is different than others such as the Crane and Turtle School, and its style has been forbidden across the universe due to its misuse and violent style, its association with black magic. "Glide over, and perch on greatness."

Its style is forbidden and it is considered a cult by most planets in the universe.

History
While unknown how old it really is, its style has existed for thousands of years and originated in the southern quadrant. Its original incantation was of a normal popular fighting school, where dedicated students could learn to use different energies, in ways they never knew possible. Eventually, the school was associated with acts of violence, terrorism, assassins, demon worship, and other malicious things, as well as dark magic and even necromancy, losing its mainstream popularity. The school then went underground and most of its members were cultists. Somewhere along the line, The Underking served as its Master Sensei, and kept the school unified. The school was divided into many 'orders', many of which were hostile to each other and warred. In 1,700 Before Age, the Black Sepulcher (the main Vulture School HQ in the North Quadrant) collapsed into ruin and the school was officially dis-unified.

As of 1500, Order Blackblood is the only surviving order.

Wrath of the Underking
The Underking, Ot'enmet, had his soul inscribed into a blood seal before death to be revived sometime in the future. Afterwards, his follower cultists worked millenia, making him into an immensely powerful cyborg, half man half robot, controlled by a lexicon. Order Blackblood is now working to revive him and put him to use in conquering space, as was his wish.

The Kingdom of Horoh is in the Ettetin Galaxy. A city by the name of Qui'loto randomly appeared here only weeks ago, on an abandoned planet, leaving people curious of its origins. The people of the city are oblivious. Within the city is a great temple, which cannot be entered. It is believed it Ot'enmet was 'revived' by a cult from the Vulture School, Order Blackblood. The King is now a cyborg, controlled by a lexicon.
