Path of Earth
Purpose
The Path of Earth looks to the Earth for inspiration, drawing on its strength for their techniques.
History
The Path of Earth claims to be older than even the animal ways. It was founded in Bistal near the end of the first great war.
Philosphy
Earth is unchanging and solid. While all is in motion around it only the Earth is constant and strong at all times. It neither ebbs nor flows.

To join this path one must be symbolically buried in the earth for two days, then escape.
Membership in Path of Earth is exclusive. Members must also meet the following requirements:
Strength 13+
Secrets
The Path of Earth will teach level one techniques to any other elemental path. They will teach level one and two techniques most of the animal paths provided the animal is terrestrial.

Level 5 Earth Quake 1600 Once per day the character can make an attack by striking his weapon on the ground those within STR radius must make a REF save (target = 10+ User's STR) to keep their feet.
Other Information
