Editing Golden Barque of the Heavens Style (section)

==Description==

<b>Golden Barque of the Heavens Style</b> is most often practiced by the [[Sidereal]] members of its eponymous division of the [[Bureau of Destiny]].  As befits the [[Division of Journeys]] patron [[Five Maidens|Maiden]], this style emphasizes motion, speed, and endurance.  Many of its motions and techniques have an appearance which suggests sloppy or incomplete training, but this is an emulation of the Wayfarer and is the result of training as rigorous as any other style.

In the manner of [[Violet Bier of Sorrows Style]] (and presumably the other Bureau of Destiny styles), the first four [[Charms]] pay respect to [[Five Maidens|Mercury's sisters]] with the remainder being dedicated to the [[Mercury|Maiden of Journeys]] herself.

===Weapons and Armor===

The [[Mercury (Exalted)|Maiden of Journeys]]' Chosen are travelers above all else.  Attacks
using staves, knives, walking sticks (use club stats), and [[fighting cloak]]s are all treated as unarmed for the purposes of this style.  [[Artifact]] versions of the same are likewise acceptable.  
These [[weapons]] represent not only the traditional wayfarer's trappings, but also the mast and sails of a voyaging ship.  All [[Charms]] in this cascade are incompatible with [[armor]].
