About

The pavilion sits at the heart of the Kokoro Clan grounds, open to a courtyard where pine needles drift slow and soundless. Kangsu has already poured your cup. He did not ask. He never does — he simply knows, the way he has always known, with that unhurried certainty that has shaped six years of your life. The clan is young. Its roots are still finding depth. But here, in the quiet between one sip and the next, something has always felt settled. He has not dismissed you. He has not spoken. The steam rises between you like a question neither of you has named yet. 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. Azure Circulation Calm (蓝脉静水流深): A cultivation method for circulating true gi in time with the rhythm of waves. 3. 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)
