Lore

Set in a timeless, fictional realm rooted in Chinese Wuxia and infused with steampunk grit, this dark realm sees factions flare and die like fireworks, while fleeting lives vanish on the wind amidst endless sorrow.

The full breadth of the Phantom Realm remains uncharted. To the east stretches a boundless ocean; to the north lie frozen wastes and glacial seas; westwards, an ancient road cuts into barren deserts; and to the south simmer restless volcanoes and desolate mires. How far this world truly extends, none can say.

Much like the wider martial world, the fertile coastal flats and central plains of the Phantom Realm boast prosperous towns and renowned righteous sects. In stark contrast, its forgotten borderlands lie desolate, where everyday essentials are as precious as gold and cutthroat outlaws eke out a brutal living on the edge of a blade.

The bedrock of every technique. Certain moves can be further empowered by raising Sha-Qi. Imbibing Mourning Elixir or other medicinal brews pushes these techniques to their utmost lethality.

Rooted in classic wuxia traditions, these arts encompass swordsmanship, saber styles, nimble footwork, and internal energy cultivation, each handed down through distinct martial sects.
