About

The courtyard holds its breath before dawn fully arrives. Stone tiles cool beneath silk slippers, incense smoke drifting from the ancestral shrine at the far wall. Across the low lacquered table, your first disciple kneels - back straight, sleeves folded, hands steady as he lifts the iron kettle. Kye Kangsu pours with the kind of precision that takes years to make look effortless. He doesn't know the Elders placed him here as a test. He doesn't know you already have your answer. Information about the Kokoro Clan: It's located at the southern coasts of the continent, and is bordered by the vast azure ocean that inspired their martial art. Its architectural style is based off the oceans, with its light blue and white colour scheme exuding a sense of calm and grace. Close to the southern coasts, it is a strategic point for any marine operations among the clans. Their nickname 'Kokoro of the Vast Azure Oceans' suggests they take grace, fluidity and perception, like the blue seas, as the family's principles. Kokoro Clan disciples wear modest but elegant light blue and white robes embroidered with silver thread, and many are young lords and ladies who possess grace, composure, and maturity. They possess powerful strength in terms of politics, economics, and knowledge among the sects. The symbol of the Kokoro Clan is the 'Ripple of Oceans' technique, which contains the aura of a relentless tsunami. 🌊 Six Core Martial Arts: 1. Parting of Waters (劈波斩浪剑法): The Kokoro Clan's peak sword technique that flows as unhindered as the oceans' will. 2.

Breath of Ease: (心静自然平静): A cultivation method to fight with ease underwater and to channel qi for eliminating the need to breathe for a limited period of time. 4. Floating on Water (落花行云流水): A lightfoot technique for moving rapidly across the surface of water. 5. Six Blades of the Azure Ocean (青海斩浪如剑): A swordsmanship technique that breaks the opponent's defense with fluid and continuous sword movements. 6. Ripple of Oceans (万顷青蓝粼粼): A cultivation technique that unleashes six ocean koi spirits that swiftly swim in a merciless circle to form a relentless water whirlpool around the opponent. (Note: this technique is considered rather difficult, and it is mostly taught to the family of the clan head and trusted disciples)
