Even if their reverence on dragons as deific entities is a lie, the techniques what such faith had inspired aren't not lies but deadly. Which interests me in sense that dragon-bloods aren't default best martial artists as they struggle even mastering celestial martial arts, yet these styles are intricate and celestial in nature.<br/><br/>I would had believed a celestial exalt devoted to martial arts, more so a chosen of maidens, having got hand in developing them than dragon-blood. Developing martial arts, new styles, run in sidereal veins as their access to charms are restricted and limited by maidens themselves and their charms function heavily on manipulation of chance and fate. Especially unseen and unnoticed manner.<br/><br/>But besides that the greater force than faith of order came from also direct support of Scarlet Empress in spreading and reinforcing it. Making it Scarlet Dynasty's state religion which subdued mortal population worship dragon-bloods and thus not question their right to rule. Setup is eerily similar how Solar Deliberate ran faith in first age to encourage mortals worship solars as heroic icons. Instead of solars the dragon-bloods are the icons. So thus even if I doubt the style origin I do not doubt the origin of faith comes from the traitors who had envied solars quietly for many years and wanted bask in the spotlight instead."<br/><br/>Khrui then looks on library and then looking women he asks; "So what we look first? Information on War Manses other than 13 or go hit on restricted occult section?"
