View source for Peimin Vessal

Peimin Vessal was a swordsman of the [[Shogunate Era]], considered one of the [[Five Paragons of the Shogunate]] or [[Five Banished Immortals]], styled Banished [[Mars]], though no such titles are referenced in texts which pass through the censors of the Realm and the [[Immaculate Order]]. 

Peimin Vessal was known as the master of the [[Daisho]] traditionally worn by Shogunate Dragonblooded, wearing a longer blade or [[Daiklave]] for reach and open combat, with a shorter sword for closer quarters, though the specific [[Martial Arts]] Style he practiced has been lost, its last known students perishing in battle against the [[Balorian Crusade]]. 

Banished Mars was also considered master of the [[Sword Dance]], where the martial elements of swordplay were set aside for perfection of performance, and here at least some Shogunate Era tapestries depict a few of the forms he demonstrated. Some who have been able to study these forms have observed several correspondences with [[Fire Dragon Style]] martial arts.
