Sainika Fighters were Guru trained in an ancient martial art which predated the creation of the Ivory Kingdoms, the Sainika. These wise men drawn from the brahmin, saw it as being as much a religious devotion as a fighting art. They taught some of their techniques to the kshatriya caste, from which they eventually migrated into the Cult of the Destroyer. Since the fall of the Kingdoms, Sainika had been fading away as the remaining gurus aged and died without students.
