The Skill of War is the indelible knowledge of sending men to their deaths in order that the greater portion of their friends might live. No general enjoys seeing his army slaughtered, but all must plant the bitter seed of death in order to watch the beauty that is life flower and grow. Without war, there would be no growth, and without growth, there would be naught but death. War is necessary, and those who study it will live on; those who do not will be ground under the boots of those who do.

Command[]

Dominant Attribute: Insight

The darker half of the circle that is leadership, the Skill of Command is nevertheless extremely useful in certain circumstances. While leaders usually lead by example, it is up to commanders to command the respect and fear of others in order that they may do what needs to be done, distasteful as it may be. For example, one rarely wants a leader in battle, for a person who leads the charge is frequently the first to encounter enemy spears and leave his soldiers devoid of leadership. A commander, on the other hand, knows who to send when and in which order so that he may survive the coming battle and take advantage of the other side’s mistakes.  Leaders often speak with courtesy; commanders usually speak with authority.

Famous Battles[]

Dominant Attribute: Insight

History is written by the victors; words of the losers are only used as footnotes.  In studying famous battles from decades and centuries past, one can learn more than just tactics; one can learn how one wins.  By focusing on what has already been tried and under what circumstances a particular general or group of people won, a student of famous battles will have a leg up on someone who abhors study.

Leadership[]

Dominant Attribute: Insight

Getting men to follow a person is one thing; getting them to disregard their own safety to follow a person is entirely another thing.  Leadership is about getting people to follow you through mostly benign methods.  A good leader knows when benign methods aren't enough, though, and knows how to make people follow him or her regardless of the situation.
