Demon invasions and wars against vicious tribes did not drive human ity to extinction. Rather, they managed to rule the Mir continent under the flag of heroes that inherited Wushu arts and magic of the ancients. On the basis of the ancient’s Wushu, the heroes created many new skills that helped humans overcome their physical weak nesses and combat demons and monsters. Wielding these tech niques, the human race built a kingdom that ruled half the Mir continent in the era of the Conqueror King. However the human race was consumed by power and greed after they became the dominant ruling race of the continent. Led by lords of the kingdom, many civil wars broke out, attempting to claim the throne for their glory and honor.Disillusioned by the foolish acts of the human race, the disciples of the heroes retired to hermitage in the mountains. In fact, they were banned from the kingdom as lords no longer needed their protection from the hordes of monsters. Consumed by power and greed, the kingdom was weakened and the people suffered. The lords hired Wushu masters to assassinate their rivals and political adversaries. However, many masters were devoted to the ideals of the heroes and refused to assist the lords. They declared to break off all relations with the corrupted kingdom and its lords and they formed guilds with others who shared similar ideals. These guilds took their own course and they have never used their power for the lords of the corrupted kingdom.Endless civil wars divided the kingdom into three separate nations. The warfare continued until the Nir tribe of the north and the Oma tribe of the east invaded the human kingdom. Lords of the three nations immediately sought help from the masters they had banned, in an effort to defeat the invasion horde. But their request was rejected outright. The desperate lords agreed to unite their power to combat the invaders and formed an alliance.An expeditionary force was sent east to assault the Oma tribe. As they traveled, they came across a town named Bichon. However, upon their arrival, a major earthquake hit the entire Mir continent, causing geographical changes and Bichon was isolated from the rest of the continent. The expeditionary force lost contact and support from the homeland. They ended up settling in Bichon and built a sovereign nation with natives.Many generations later, the path to the homeland was restored and a diplomat was sent there. The diplomat discovered that the civil war was finally over and a new united kingdom was born. The Royal Court ordered the diplomat to pass the word to Haoak Lim, the ruler of Bichon, that he was being called back to the homeland and a governor would take his place to rule Bichon. Haoak declared to follow the order but secretly he began raising an army to fight the homeland to achieve sovereignty.However, Haoak came to realize that the military strength of the new kingdom was far greater than Bichon’s. The kingdom had countless numbers of well-trained generals and soldiers in command from the civil wars. Haoak then planned on imposing upon the Wushu masters to use them as his puppets.Haoak made a series of efforts to conciliate guilds to his side. He officially recognized guilds and stepped in to settle disputes between them. However, it wasn’t enough to break the unwritten law of guilds not getting involved in politics. Finally, Haoak decided to use the Sabuk Keep to conciliate them.The Sabuk Keep was built to defend Bichon from the Numas of the desert and other monsters. However, frequent battles resulted in many casualties and the resources needed to maintain the keep was outrageous. Haoak delegated authority to rule the keep to a guild, and in return, they were given authority to collect taxes from its surrounding area. As Haoak expected, they successfully defended the keep from monster assaults and the ruling guild kept growing stronger. Many other guilds craved to acquire the concessions of ruling the keep and they ended up petitioning. Haoak then proclaimed that the strongest and very best guild needed to occupy the keep as they are responsible for keeping Bichon from harm. This meant any capable guild could attempt to siege the keep from the occupying guild and gain the authority to rule the keep.It was that moment when the unwritten law was finally broken, the law that was followed for the past hundred years, that the Wushu masters magic would not get involved in politics. Now that the masters have joined the struggle for power, it gave Haoak time to train an army to fight the Kingdom and also gave him guilds at his command since they fell for his bait.Requirements:
