72.4.30.59: /* Constellations */

{{Infobox|image=SotA_CelestialBodies.jpg}}
The sky above [[New Britannia]] is filled with celestial mechanics, including 10 orbital bodies and a constellation-filled star field. All of these move independently and will generate phases, eclipses and multiple alignment events. Each of these events will impact other events, such as certain attributes that can only be added to crafted items when an orbital body is in a specific constellation.

All orbital bodies orbit along a equatorial line with New Britannia, seeming to move from the Eastern horizon towards the West.

*Sun
* [[Daedalus]]
* [[Deceit]]
* ''unknown''

== Runic ==
=== Outer Ring ===
Starting at the One O'Clock and moving around the runic reads: Only a Last Resort ~ Legitimate Authority ~ Redress of Injury ~ Proper Intention ~ Achievable Success ~ Proportional Harm ~ Imminent Danger ~ Avert Noncombatants

== Requirements ==
We want each school of combat to have a theme. There are 4 Offensive Schools and 4 Defensive Schools, plus the Tactics School. All Combat Skills (active & innate) require the corresponding gear to be equipped (i.e. to use a Blades skill you must have a sword in your hand), with the exception of those in the Tactics list. Note that all weapons and armor can be used by characters, increasing skills makes them more effective. All names are placeholder.

== Offensive Schools ==

=== Blade Skill ===
{{main|Blade Skill}}
Swords, Daggers. Fast direct damage. Higher critical hit rate and parrying potential than other melee weapons.

*Active:
**{{#ask: [[Is skill of::Blade Skill]] [[Has skill type::Active]]}}
*Innate:
**{{#ask: [[Is skill of::Blade Skill]] [[Has skill type::Innate]]}}

=== Ranged Skill ===

=== Bludgeon Skill ===
{{main|Bludgeon Skill}}
