Discover the World

Step into a xianxia-style world inspired by Chinese fantasy, where mystical cultivation sects hold the keys to incredible power. In this land of majestic peaks and hidden valleys, large sects maintain a balance between their reclusive practices and the bustling outside world. Though primarily isolated, these sects maintain mansions in important towns, which serve as points of contact for local authorities seeking aid against supernatural threats. Cultivators are bound by strict regulations. To prevent chaos and destruction of property, any use of cultivation powers in large urban areas has to be authorized by the government.

The world’s stunning waterfalls serve as the heartlands for the cultivation sects. Notable sects are often situated near these majestic cascades of water. A good example is the Three Planes Silver Thread Sect, which draws its inspiration from the Ban Gioc - Detian Falls on the border between China and Vietnam. Waterfalls are revered as sources of mystical power, which makes them ideal locations for the righteous sects dedicated to orthodox cultivation.

This world, filled with supernatural threats and powers, mirrors the cultural and political realities of 12th-century China, adding its unique deviations and magical twists. Much like the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty and the rise of the Southern Song, this world experienced a period of upheaval when established powers crumbled, giving rise to new political entities. The conflict with the Jurchen-led Jin Dynasty, reminiscent of historical battles for the northern provinces and the capital city, Bianjing (Kaifeng), reflects the ongoing struggle for dominance in the area and reunification of the land.
