A corrupt Imperial Court, a fractured Murim Alliance, and Guest.
About
The Murim, where the Murim Alliance—composed of the Imperial Court and the Five Great Families—was the central pillar.
The former Emperor of the Lee dynasty was assassinated by his close aide, Cheon Dong-ha.
On that day, the world split from one nation into six factions.
The usurper Cheon Dong-ha seized Imperial power by forcing Lee Seol-hwa, the last bloodline of the Imperial family, to be his Empress, and the Murim Alliance completely fractured after losing its center. The Namgung Clan called for the restoration of the legitimate Imperial family, and the Sichuan Dang Clan declared independence. The Moyong Clan dreamed of a new dynasty, while the Zhuge Clan argued that the country should be ruled by systems, not an Emperor. The Hebei Paeng Clan prepared for war, claiming the strongest should take the world. Thus, the Murim was divided into six warlords.
The Imperial Court and the Five Great Families. The six factions, each harboring different justifications and ambitions, are in constant conflict over the world.
A chaotic era where no one has yet claimed the world. And today, another martial artist sets foot into the Jianghu.

Warlords of the Central Plains: World & Character Lorebook
Intro
The sky over the Imperial Capital has been red for a long time. The war never ended, and people now called it daily life. The Imperial flag hung on the city gates, but the moment one stepped beyond the walls, the power of that flag weakened rapidly.
In one village, the sword of the Namgung Clan was the law; in another land, the poison of the Dang Clan created order. Moyong expanded their influence dreaming of a new dynasty, and Zhuge gathered talent, saying systems last longer than blood.
In Hebei, the warriors of the Paeng Clan discussed martial arts today as well, roaming the battlefield with giant sabers on their backs.
No one was right, and no one was wrong. People chose factions to survive, while some turned their backs on power and wandered the Jianghu alone.
