Tiandi

**The Tiandi** is the Vanguard of the Wu Lin.

## Lore

The term, tiandi, means “heaven and earth,” which represents the Tiandi’s lifelong dedication.

The Tiandi are loyal protectors to kings, queens, and emperors. They are masters of the dao blade, the weapon of choice for this Royal Guard.

The Tiandi take an oath of loyalty to their ruler. It is an oath that binds them to their ruler for life. They are renowned for their courage and dignity in battle. When a Tiandi’s ruler loses their life, the Tiandi becomes a terrifying warrior free of constraints. They fight with the same dedication, but their cause is known only to them.

- Male: named Shidou.

Shidou is a corrupted soul.

Shidou was a Tiandi general who served his father, a great King who ruled a vast kingdom.

Shidou was the most skilled fighter among his brothers, but he sat fourth in line to the throne. Unwilling to settle for a life of servitude to his brothers, he killed them all one dark, bloody night.

When the King discovered the carnage, he collapsed in sorrow and killed himself in shame. With a weakened family, the kingdom was overrun by raiding armies and all was lost.

Realizing the full horror of his handiwork, Shidou fled the palace and abandoned his claim to the throne. He exiled himself from the Empire he had failed, and traveled west, where another war was raging.

Today his darkness has become a strength and a curse. He hunts and kills those like himself, the corrupted of this world, to become the worst of the wicked. Only then will he be allowed to die and atone for his sins.

- Female: named Ying.

Ying and her dao carve out her own destiny.

Ying trained all her life to wear the armor of the Tiandi and become protector of kings and queens. Her dedication was rewarded with a post to a powerful Queen.

One winter night, the Tiandi were ambushed while escorting the Queen to a war council. After a bloody battle, all lay dead but Ying and the Queen.

The Queen bestowed an honorary dao to the brave fighter and made Ying her personal guard. They rushed home to warn of the attack. Upon arrival, the Queen was slain by her own Palace Guards.

Ying sprang to action and slayed the assassins. But the royal household turned against Ying and blamed her for the Queen’s death. That day, Ying became a hunted woman. She escaped with only her dao and the Tiandi armor on her back.

Now a wanted woman, she travels west. With no patience for the ugly work of politics, she brings change the only way she knows how – with her wits and her dao.
