Abilities - Zaru

Serve (I)
Servitude concerns anticipating a master’s needs and remaining servile while interacting with him. It is also useful in misdirecting the master and being invisible to his eyes.
Clandestinity (R)
The Ability of planning and implementing secret networks, resistance cells, cipher codes and other such subterfuge. Useful for both resistance and counter-resistance activities.
Clay-Moulding (V)
This Ability can be used to build anything from houses to pottery out of the rich clay of the Zaru delta.
Poetry (I)
Poetry is the foremost art form among the modern Zaru, who often cannot own much but their words. Zaru poetry is most often long and non-rhyming, with strict syllabic patterns for each stanza. It is emotionally powerful, and can make even an Ammeni master stay his hand.
Uptenbo (I)
Uptenbo is the underground Zaru martial art. Because of the traditional non-violence of the Zaru, Uptenbo is purely a defensive art, and can be used to drive off, humiliate, or subdue an enemy, not to kill. It consists of strong locks, throws and sweeps, using the enemy’s attacks against her.
