The Leukish School of Rapier is a training center which offers instruction in martial sword techniques in the Duchy of Urnst.

Founded in 443 CY as a chapter of the Maure School of Defense. The Leukish School of Rapier split after its Suris-Master opposed the expulsion of a student due to heritage, leading to a more liberal institution and a long-lasting rivalry with the Maure School.

Initially open to those serving noble houses, the Leukish School of Rapier expanded in 534 CY to accept merchant house servants. It receives sponsorship from several noble and merchant houses, including House Xiotha, Baercol, Holomaer, Dr’oda, and Baerglund. The school also teaches etiquette and physical techniques like ducks and rolls.[1]
