The Do is a way of life. We are not Warriors, we are Do; masters of weaponry and
martial arts. The Do strive for self-mastery, and inner balance with their
surroundings. To achieve that, we study ways of nature, life, and seek enlightenment
wherever it may be found. The Do avoid conflict, but will fight to maintain balance
or to preserve our way of life.
The Final Words of Elder OblivioN
A Do is a Master of weaponry, and a martial arts expert. Yet mastery of one's weapon,
takes mastery of one's self. An intermediate swordsman uses their strengths and skills
to control the blade. But a master swordsman, a Do, uses the mind and spirit.
A Do strives to obtain an understanding for all things around them. The balance of the
Tao within a Do is very stable and strong. Always passive, always humble, and never
aggressive.
A Do avoids conflict at all costs, and never fights for honor alone, but will engage in
combat if victory means the maintaining of the balance within.
Young warrior remember these words:
If you seek the ways of the Do, only to improve and better
the ways of the Warrior... You will fail!
