South Cleaving Sentinel

The totem protector of the Sea Demon Tribe.

## Overview

According to the legend, the Southern Domain and the Western Desert had not always been on stable terms like they were now. In fact, there had been lots of friction, including several instances of war.
In one of those wars, the Western Desert had been in the weak position, whereas the Southern Domain was much more powerful. The Southern Domain invaded the Western Desert, which prompted the Western Desert cultivators to join forces to create the South Cleaving Sentinels. Supposedly, all of their peak Dao Seeking cultivators volunteered to give up everything and become puppets. They created a mountain range to cleave the south from the west; it completely and thoroughly separated the Western Desert and the Southern Domain.

From that time forward, those boundless mountains were called the South Cleaving Mountains

Within those mountains existed eternal guardians of the Western Desert, which was the former legion of the South Cleaving Sentinels.

* At the same time, because the Underworld Death Sand was filled with the pinnacle of death, that meant it was also filled with the pinnacle of life. It contained the power to cause one’s Qi and blood to develop with vigor. By practicing cultivation inside the Underworld Cave, it was possible to cause one’s fleshly body to grow stronger and stronger.

## Description

Righteous and noble, calm and otherworldly. His gaze seemed warm, but in truth, it was utterly cold. To him, it was as if everything in Heaven and Earth were beneath him, the only Immortal in the world.

The Immortal is neither heartless nor affectionate. He was neither selfish nor selfless. He is unaffected by his own past, and seems to be separated from it.

## History

As an entity that the Immortal God Continent and the Devil Realm had been trying for so long to destroy, they waged a war against the Paragon Immortal Realm. Afraid of the consequences should the Immortal come to being, they exhausted all their powers to eradicate those from the Paragon Immortal Realm.

After 10,000 years of war, the two major powers finally destroyed the entire immortal realm. On the surface, they succeeded. But what they didn't foresee was the birth of an entirely different existence, the Demon.

## Known Facts

* Cultivators are also called "Immortals". Not to be confused with ***The*** Immortal.
* Allheaven described The Immortal as a man and a mountain.
* Meng Hao suspects that the Immortal may in fact have already come into being, and is the TRUE body of Allheaven, as Allheaven is merely a clone of this entity and is feared by the latter because of that fact.
* The God, Devil, Demon and the Ghost are unable to become the Immortal simply because an Immortal already exists.

## Trivia

* Meng Hao said that Immortal magic is not a divine ability or a magical technique but instead comes from Essence. It is crushing pressure that can crush anything not Immortal.

## Stepping into Spirit Severing

Spirit Severing is known as a process in which Dao enlightenment grants you the ability to sever something from your soul. It can be love, your body or daytime. It is known that you can sever your soul up to three times. After the third severing, if you are successful you will officially step into Early Dao Seeking. If you fail you will either die or if you survive you will be stuck at the Third Severing until your longevity runs out.

### Stage of Spirit Severing

Depending on what was severed in Spirit Severing can determine how powerful that person will be within Spirit Severing.

* **First Severing**
* **Second Severing**
* **Third Severing** — Someone will be considered to be in the Third Severing only if they failed their Third Severing and failed to reach the Dao Seeking Stage.

## Types of Severings (Type of Dao)

* **Regular / Mortal Path** (Normal Dao)
* **Heavenly Path** (Great Dao)
* **Mist Path** (Own Dao)

* Eternal — the peak among Stratums born when someone with a Dao Fruit Stratum understands the concept of "Eternity", such as when Meng Hao fused his Dao Fruit with the Eyeless Larva who cannot die. This foundation cannot be destroyed by the Heavens and grants an 'Undying' body and soul, making the possessor essentially immortal.

## Severed Things

* Devil — Meng Hao
* Perfection — Meng Hao
* Resurrection Lily — Meng Hao
* Emotions
* Love
* Goodness — Dawn Immortal (Da Nu)

## Trivia

* The First and Second Severing of this stage is comparable to the Soul Formation and Soul Transformation Stages of Renegade Immortal, as well as the Early and Middle Stages of Berserker Soul from Pursuit of Truth.

Sun Hai, along with most of the Chosen of the Ninth Mountain and Sea, attacked Meng Hao to take the command medallion given to Meng Hao by Fang Xiufeng, which allows one to become a conclave disciple of the Ancient Daoist Rite Temple.

Meng Hao trapped many of the Chosen into his bag of holding and had them write promissory notes to him, essentially extorting money from them. Sun Hai, in particular, had a very bad experience with this. Due to being a prideful fellow, Sun Hai, at first, refused to cave in to Meng Hao's demands. In response, Meng Hao beat him up severely. Especially, he pulled his hair and drag him around, while his face was against the rough ground. Eventually, Sun Hai caved and even told Meng Hao to call him "Li'l Hai". After Fang Xiufeng and Meng Li told him to release all the Chosen, Meng Hao reluctantly let them go. Traumatized by this event, Sun Hai cut off all his hair.

During the East Sun Ascension event, Sun Hai asked for Meng Hao's help in getting together with a girl from the Fang Clan. Unbeknownst to Meng Hao, he unwittingly conned him into helping him out with Fang Yu. After learning of the girl's identity being Fang Yu, Meng Hao was terrified and took back all his promises and even beat up Sun Hai for conning him. Sun Hai reached 156,000 meters high into the air during the East Sun Ascension event, following closely behind Taiyang Zi at his 159,000 meters and Wang Mu at his 162,000 meters.

Moon Elves

### History

Historically the less friendly elves although many other races do make their homes in the moon elf kingdom. The race as a whole has been slowly expanding its reach across the north eastern peninsular of Santhal, cut off from human interference by the dividing sea and a number of large keeps on the daylight band keeps any other nations approaching by land at bay. While the ships of the elves aren't too advanced, their territory lays claim to dragon island. This island stretches over a hundred miles across and is covered in all types of dragons. The strongest of the moon elves tame these dragons and use them for war.
Adventurers Guild

Founded by a mysterious benefactor, the guild holds many estates around Santhal from which it launches expeditions, holds diplomatic summits and puts on the most incredible parties. The guild is for the elite of adventurers and operates on an invite only basis. Being elite is not a criteria however, many people have heard stories of seemingly random people being recruited into the guilds ranks.

The current figurehead of the guild is the legendary Anton Ramas, one of the most famous heroes in Santhal. It is said that he and his party spend most of their time separate on their own missions, although all parties that belong to the guild are given a sending stone to summon Anton and his allies if they get into trouble. The most recent example of this is when Arun Elian discovered a terrasque in the underdark and summoned Anton and his party to fell the creature.
Sae'ran

As the primary god of the sun elves and many human civilisations, Sae'ran is a very powerful God and is often included in meetings between the core gods.

His symbol is a Circle covered in flames to represent the sun.

Planar scholars have determined he dwells near the centre of the fire planes and resides within a fortress made of light and fire constructed by the astral beings at the same time as they created him.
Ziost Crystals

Ziost Crystals are a magical item expansion that allow the players weapons to advance with them rather than selling or collecting a horde of magical items.

To create an item that can take ziost crystal slots, it is the cost of the item plus the accumulative cost from the below table depending on the number of slots wanted.

 Slot 2
 Slot 3
 Slot 4
 Slot 5

Each slot takes one crystal of its matching level. To add a crystal to a slot it takes 1 hour for each slot lvl, so slot 5 would take five hours to accept a crystal. Crystals are always destroyed when removed meaning that if one crystal is swapped for another the original one already in the weapon is destroyed in the process.

Crystals are found in three colours: purple, yellow and red. Purple crystals are equipped onto weapons, yellow crystals are equipped onto armour and red crystals are equipped onto all other magical items.

Meng Hao seriously injured Zhao Yifan during their battle by using the first form of the sword movement taught to him by Fang Xiufeng. This shocked Zhao Yifan as he did not expect Meng Hao to have such skills in the dao of the sword. Zhao Yifan then escaped, and Meng Hao didn't give chase as it would take too much time, something he didn't have much of at the time.

Zhao Yifan didn't attend the East Sun Ascension Event, unlike most of the Chosen of the Ninth Mountain and Sea. In his stead, Zhou Xin, another Chosen of Sublime Flow Sword Grotto, made an appearance.

After Meng Hao reached True Immortal Ascension, he defeated Zhao Yifan after the latter challenged him.

Su Yan

## [Source]

**Su Yan** is one of the several recurring characters in the story, and appears a few times in the novel.

## Background

She hails from the Devil Realm Continent, an arch-nemesis of the Mountain and Sea Realm since the ancient times.

## History

Meng Hao first met her in the Ruins of Immortality, where she tried to sabotage his attempt to steal precious herbs, since she herself wanted to steal the herbs. During this she almost managed to get Meng Hao killed, thus, he chased after her for a long time and finally managed to capture. She originally claimed to have come from the Seventh Mountain and Sea, but during the attack of the Devil Realm Continent Meng Hao realized that its her home.

Afterwards, he tried to get her to give him one of her daoist magics that was able to counter his, then, incomplete Paragon Bridge. This technique is known as the Seven God Steps, and is one of the few techniques that Meng Hao learnt in the Mountain and Sea Realm and has continued using until now, which is testament to its strength.

Later when Meng Hao was trying to stall the experts from the Devil Realm Continent and the Immortal God Continent to allow the Mountain and Sea Butterfly to escape inside the Green Coffin Vortex, he used Su Yan as a hostage to get the experts of the Devil Realm Continent to stop. He did this because he had figured out that Su Yan has an extraordinarily high status due to all the top-grade treasures and daoist magics that she possessed.

After Meng Hao was injured by the Immortal Realm Continent and Devil Realm Continent, she managed to escape from his bag of holding that had been destroyed.

She was never mentioned again since then; tens of epochs have passed so she is presumed dead.
Northern Sun Elf Kingdom

One of the two major sun elf factions, the northern faction is a monarchy and has been ruled by the Solenae Family for thousands of years. Currently ruled by Myrddin Solenae, the Kingdom has become a multicutural haven for halflings, gnomes, wood elves, beastfolk and many others. All who enter the boarders are protected by the generous King, just not those outside.

Sae'ran help anyone who fails the king. The family are also protected by the crimson guard that serve as their bodyguards, the police of the capital Caelynn and the families private army.

The city of Caelynn is directly ruled by the family itself and so are the surrounding territories. However larger cites that have been enveloped into the kingdom are given a governor to oversee them on the families behalf. Only the most loyal and strong elves are given this position, even those however are often subject to visits by diplomats and generals who happen to be part of the family.

## Locations of Note

### Caelynn

Caelynn is the capital city of the kingdom and as such is a vibrant rich city with towering white walls draped in fine red banners. Inside almost all the buildings sport some kind of expensive architecture or material and almost every shop and entertainment can be found within its confines.

There is also an adventuring guild house present here.

### First Temple of Sae'ran

This temple is said to be over fifteen thousand years old and is almost entirely submerged in the earth now. Recently recovered by the party of Thoorin Ironheart, the temple is currently under restoration in anticipation of becoming a place of pilgrimage.
Languages

### Beastfolk

The language spoken among all varieties of animal like humanoids that inhabit Santhal. Due to their long isolation from the other races, these humanoids have developed their own language that to the untrained ear are simply different growls and grunts. When written, beastfolk is a series of lines and simple pictographs.
Graywell Knights

The Graywell knights are a vigilante order of knights who patrol the western boarder of Rorik'thar. Famously just and ruthless in their decisions and follow-through respectively. They are rarely challenged.

Many of the war minded jarls and kings have been students of the Graywell Knights at one time or another.

Magnaurinae

You're at the biggest party of your life, bright colours all around you, loud music, lively, smiling people. Someone punches you square in the jaw and you lose a tooth. Ah, it can only be the great golden city of Magnaurinae.

**Summary**

Magnaurinae is a moderately sized, yet firmly established human city, just on the eastern outskirts of the desert of Santhal.

**Political System**

The Magnaurians benefit from a benevolent dictatorship, having one monarch at a time. However, with the current king growing weaker with each passing day and the ony heir (The King's only child) unable to fill the role, Magnaurinae seems to be heading toward a period of civil unrest.

**Culture**

Though the Maugnaurians are looked down on by those, like elves, who typically value intellectual skills, graceful dances and classical literature, to say they lack culture would bea great understatement. Physical skill is highly praised in the city, regardless of whether it is the absolute brute strength needed to wield two handed weapons, or the fine motor skills necessary for intricate needlework. Certainly, magnaurian libraries are terribly lacking, but this has installed in the people a stron oral tradition, and a belief that knowledge is gained first and foremost through experience. Although the people of Magnaurinae are generally very convival even to outsiders, magic users and scholars often find they have little reason to remain. There simply isnt enough of an intellectual community to offer proper development.

Magnaurian citizens enjoy a life of simple needs and simple desires, and can feel out of place in the presence of decadent elves or even certain other humans. Social nuances are considered unnecessary, and many who meet magnaurians for the first time may be taken aback at the frank, straightforward way they think and speak. However, this isnt to say that they are rude; on the contrary, they go out of their way to be welcoming and exciting people. Magnaurians can find cause for celebration in even the most mundane day - to day activities, and kingdom wide festivals occur sometimes as frequently as once a month. Drinking is a popular pastime, and the lively chants of drunken men carry through into the mouths of dedicated workers and playful children.

To say that the citizens of Magnaurinae enjoy fighting would be a gross understatement. Rather, honour through proving oneself in battle in the magnarian way of life. The primary source of entertainment is the ampitheatre right at the heart of the city, where gladiators spar and train, all day, every day. The majority of Magnaurians dedicate at least some of their time to hone their fighting tecnique - The most prized style being two-handed melee, moving through to a mastery of finesse weapons, and finally ranged combat. Magnaurian fighters can appreciate spellcasting, but don't generally aspire to master it. Such a violent pastime ensures that the people of the city are always well protected in the rare occasions when they are under threat - however, any adequately powerful magic user would certainly pose a very real danger.
Western Desert

The **Western Desert** is one of the four continents on Planet South Heaven, with the others being the Southern Domain, the Northern Reaches, and the Eastern Lands.

## Description

The Western Desert is famous for having a special type of cultivators: the Dragoneers. The Dragoneers are basically tamers, except they tame demonic beasts that can grow until Spirit Severing.

According to the legend, at a time many, many years in the past, the Western Desert was not a continent, but rather, a sea. The sea existed for thirty thousand years before vanishing to reveal the continent beneath. During that time, the Western Desert… was not called the Western Desert, but rather a different name. The Western Sea. This sea was not the same color as the Milky Way Sea. Rather, it was violet, and its waters had the power to cause all life to become extinct. It even cut off spiritual energy, making the area a prohibited zone for living things. There was an area of division between the Milky Way Sea and this Sea, as if they intentionally did not want to mix.

According to the legend, the Western Sea was not completely without any land mass. There was one area with land, a part that was connected to the Southern Domain and was called the Black Lands.

## Violet Rain Apocalypse

*Parent article: Violet Rain*
In the Western Desert, every 100,000 years, violet rain comes that causes endless desolation to the land and the people alike. Although the rain only lasts for a few years, the accumulated desolation rainwater makes the Western Desert inhabitable for another 10,000 years to come. This event is known as the Western Desert Apocalypse, and during this time all the inhabitants of the Western Desert migrate to the Black Lands, which is higher up than the Western Desert. In fact, the Black Lands is the highest point on the entire Planet South Heaven.

## History

In past times, the Western Desert North regions had three great Tribes, the Crow Divinity, the Five Poisons, and the Scorching Ice. After all these years, the Five Poisons and Scorching Ice still existed; in contrast, the Crow Divinity Tribe was in decline.[*citation needed*] After having been split into the five sub-Tribes, they were much weaker and reduced to an inferior position.[1]

Meng Hao visited the Western Desert after he left the Black Lands. His purpose was to go to the Crow Divinity Tribe (now Golden Crow Tribe) and obtain the Spirit Severing pill that he was informed of by an alchemist of the Western Desert.

During the war between the Northern Reaches and the Southern Domain, the Western Desert experts (now living in the Black Lands) arrived and provided a much needed help to the Southern Domain. Much of this was due to the help Pill Demon and the Violet Fate Sect provided to the escapees from the Western Desert. [*citation needed*]

Genasi

[work in progress]

Overview

The genasi as a race are very young. They have elemental ancestry, resulting in their striking appearances and certain physical properties which, aside from making them easy to spot in a crowd, offer them various strengths and weaknesses. These depend entirely on the type of genasi, of which there are four main types, each corresponding to a classical element. Though para-elemental genasi exist, they are far less common; and genasi who can hold two different elimental manifestations are rarer still.

Origins

Genasi are planetouched humanoids, as a result of crosbreeding powerful elementals such as genies with humans. However, although they do resemble humans in many ways they are clearly outsiders amongst them; likewise, genies had a tendency to view them with disdain as comparitively powerless half breeds. The result of this was genasi forming their own societies, even towns and cities in some cases.
