Way of the Murim (5e Subclass)

Way of the Murim

Monk Subclass

By Leif Heanzo

No one knows when Murim first came into existence in the world. Except, many trace its beginnings to the Ascetics from long who had secluded themselves deep in the mountains or the rugged wilderness in order to seek enlightenment. Soon after their appearance, these monks became famous throughout the society as martial arts masters because of their powers. In response, many people quickly met them in order to become their disciples. In time, with more masters and disciples appearing, the amount of Murim increased, clans and schools were formed and the world of Murim was born. The existence of the Murim world was kept secret from normal people, with the exception of some members of local governments and federal government. The Murim is a world maintained by the passage of martial arts from the previous generation to the next. Accordingly, the relationship between master and disciple must be more intimate and earnest than a blood relationship between father and son. You learned to fight in the Murim world and you have fought with many opponents with different techniques thus developing your personal fighting technique.
