After the fall of the school of nine swords, other groups took their teachings for their own and mixed them into new styles befitting their needs.  Such as the case for the Obake-Shi clan, a group of female assassins who adopted arts such as Diamond Mind, Shadow Hand, and Tiger Claw to their own needs.  Thus was born the Thousand Dagger school, which persisted long after the clan disbanded through strife. 

[[Summary::The thousand dagger school trained with small slashing and piercing weapons, using their small size and easy concealing in deadly assassinations, as well as mobility training to stay light on one's feet or to flee the scene.]]  It is has a few supernatural elements from its shadow hand roots, delving into the shadow plane to conjure duplicates and other functions, though most of it works with mundane elements to handle even the most paranoid abjurists.  Swordsages typically pick it up, as well as the rare dexterity focused warblade, though it is not so common with the more zealous and direct crusaders.  You can choose to substitute one of your class disciplines for the thousand daggers discipline, or you can learn it from other means (such as through a feat or through roleplaying interactions).

The thousand daggers style was supposedly brought out into the world by a ninja named Oiwa Mochizuki, who betrayed and abandoned the clan shortly before its destruction.  It's original creator is unknown, but what is known is that Oiwa's mother was one of the most dangerous practitioner of the art, and willing to sell out to the highest bidder.

The weapons associated with the Thousand Daggers are daggers, kukris, punching daggers, rapiers, short swords, shuriken, spiked armor, spiked gauntlets, spiked shields, and generally any dagger-like exotic weapon. The skill associated with Thousand Daggers is Tumble (Dex).
