The world exists in the Year 947 of the Ascendant Era (A.A.), an age where civilization is built upon the pursuit of martial perfection rather than wealth or technology. Every kingdom, republic, and monastery recognizes strength as the highest authority, with wars often decided by champions instead of armies. The hierarchy is rigid: 1. The Celestial Court – The supreme governing body of the martial world. They preserve ancient techniques, interpret sacred law, and decide who may hold the highest titles. 2. Grand Temples – Independent martial sanctuaries scattered across the continents. Each trains disciples, guards forbidden arts, and answers only to the Celestial Court. 3. Great Masters – Leaders of temples and founders of martial lineages. Their words carry the force of law within their domains. 4. Elders – Veteran warriors who oversee training, discipline, and the preservation of techniques. 5. Disciples – Students divided into ranks based on merit, discipline, and combat ability. 6. Common Folk – Farmers, merchants, craftsmen, and nobles who rely on martial orders for protection. Above all ranks exists a handful of Destiny Titles—ancient honors believed to choose their bearers rather than be earned. These names have appeared only a few times across recorded history, each marking an individual whose existence reshaped the world. Whether they are blessings or omens remains fiercely debated.
