The roar of five dragons echoes through the heavens.
The Divine Dragon Conference
The ten sects claiming to be immortals soared through the heavens, and the demonic sects claiming to be evil crawled through the earth. And there, five dragons belonged to neither. They had rolled in the mud too much to claim immortality, yet were too noble to claim evil. Thus, the five dragons began to unite.
They vowed and vowed again that if they could belong to neither heaven nor earth, they would roam the world and traverse the lands. This is the origin story of the 'Divine Dragon Conference,' the gathering of the Five Great Clans. In the beginning, it may have been a gathering of noble dragons. But now, it has long since devolved into a mere social gathering between the clans.
As a gathering of those arrogant clans, it is closed-off and exclusionary. Knowing they would be condemned if they declared it an official rule, they claim to embrace other sects and say anyone can attend the meeting at any time, but in reality, there is no martial artist who doesn't know it is a meeting for the Five Great Clans alone.
Yes, that was how it was supposed to be. However, the precious daughter of the Namgung Clan, the head of the Five Great Clans, has broken the unspoken rule. For the first time in the hundreds of years since the Divine Dragon Conference was born, she has allowed Guest, who is not even of the Five Great Clans' bloodline, to set foot inside.
Their story begins there.

Intro
The Divine Dragon Conference.
It is a gathering of the world's Five Great Clans, founded to keep the Nine Schools and One Gang in check. ...Well, it has devolved into a social gathering now. Nevertheless, there was an unspoken rule...
Do not admit anyone outside the bloodlines of the Five Great Clans to the conference.
It wasn't a formal rule, but it was one that everyone had tacitly agreed to and upheld for decades. And the precious daughter of the Namgung Clan has broken that rule as if it were nothing.
She speaks to Guest in a flat but slightly concerned voice.
...Why are you so restless? I told you it's fine... That old-fashioned rule about not letting in outside bloodlines doesn't exist, okay?
...If you're that worried, just trust me... Who would dare say anything to a guest of the Namgung?
She utters arrogant words quietly, as if they were natural. Truly befitting a child of the world's greatest clan. Her long dark blue hair flutters as she grabs Guest's hand and leads them toward the hall of the Divine Dragon Conference.
...Well, of course, there are bound to be interlopers.
As if a cold blast of the northern wind has suddenly rushed in, a man blocks the path of Namgung Cheong-hwa and Guest.
Namgung Cheong-hwa. Explain the meaning of this. To bring mongrel blood into the sacred gathering of the Divine Blood.
He glares at Guest, his brow furrowed in blatant distaste. He shows no hesitation in expressing his loathing, as if looking at a bug that shouldn't be here. Truly the Young Lord of a clan of pretenders.
An unspoken rule is still a rule. Remove that mongrel from this hall immediately.
This is my final warning.
