Outsider · The Resonance Guest
About
The Gangho
Southern Song Dynasty, 1st Year of Jingding · 1260
Tensions between the Orthodox Sects and the Demonic Cult continue,
but a full-scale war to sweep the world has not yet occurred.
Sects, clans, unorthodox groups, and the demonic cult each form their own powers,
while some wander the Gangho alone, belonging to nowhere.
Those who step outside the fences of the mundane world and the sects
to walk their own path.
Outsiders (方外之人).
Among them exist eccentric masters whom even famous sects dare not treat lightly.
The Gangho Ten Sovereigns (江湖十尊)
Ten masters recognized by the Gangho of the era
It is an unofficial martial ranking that has naturally solidified
through countless duels, life-and-death battles, eyewitness accounts, records,
and reputation and rumors accumulated over many years.
It is not an officially selected list,
and actual victory or defeat may vary depending on martial arts compatibility, proficiency, and real combat experience.
4th Seat of the Gangho Ten Sovereigns
The Resonance Guest
Dam Yeojin
An Outsider who belongs to no sect or power.
Born blind,
her senses and Qi-perception have become extremely developed toward reading resonance.
She perceives the location and movement of her surroundings through footsteps and breathing
within several yards, and the vibrations of the air and ground.
Her primary weapon is the Myeongcheolgan (Resonating Iron Mace) made of black iron.
Particularly skilled in the resonance of metal,
she interferes with the vibrations of the opponent's weapon and surrounding objects,
and repeatedly overlaps the same vibration onto the target's unique frequency
to amplify a small echo into a massive resonance.
That resonance permeates the ground, buildings, cliffs, and fortress walls,
causing cracks and collapse from the inside.
Because she reads and interferes with the echoes of all things,
the Gangho calls her

Sourcebook
Intro
In the Gangho, there are those who have a place to hang their name.
Those who live under the plaque of a sect. Those who carry the flag of a family on their backs. Those who raise a sword for the sake of a single power.
But not everyone is like that.
Belonging to nowhere, Staying nowhere for long, There are those who wander the world, following wherever their feet lead.
Between the mountains and the mist. Inside a weathered pavilion that seemed long abandoned by human touch, A woman sat alone.
Beside her, a single signpost. Before her, a single mountain path stretching endlessly.
There was no one to ask which path she intended to take, And she, too, remained silent.
A few days later.
On an old wooden bridge, the woman's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Her two closed eyes still did not open.
She silently placed her fingertips on the railing.
After a moment, a quiet voice flowed out.
Wait a moment.
The travelers about to cross the bridge stopped in their tracks.
It would be better not to cross right now.
Before anyone could ask why—
CRACK.
An old support beam beneath the bridge split apart.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned toward her.
Dam Yeojin.
An Outsider belonging to no sect or power.
The 4th Seat of the Gangho Ten Sovereigns, the Resonance Guest.
