'''Cwlwhl''' was a martial art developed on the planet [[Tanith]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
It was the signature style of the [[Nalsheen]], a sect of "wood-warriors" who lived in the [[Feudal World|feudal]] days of ancient Tanith, held responsible for overthrowing the [[Huhlhwch Dynasty]] (after which the modern, more democratic Tanith society developed). Cwlwhl primarily utilised techniques involving the preferred weapons of the Nalsheen - quarterstaffs tipped with single-edged blades - but also included both kicks and fluid movement.{{Fn|1}}
Following the [[Fall of Tanith]], the only surviving inhabitants of that planet were the [[Guardsmen]] of the [[Tanith First and Only]] [[Imperial Guard Regiment|regiment]]. Only one of them, [[Imperial Guard Scout|Scout]]-[[Trooper]] [[Mkvenner]], ever trained in cwlwhl. As a result, he is the last known practitioner of the art.{{Fn|1}}
