Empires flourish and crumble with their Emperor’s rules, while those with the power of circulating a form of magic grow stronger through it — cultivators, as they call themselves. Even they too split themselves into several sects, large and small, under the name of exterminating the dangers of the mutated creatures that pose threats towards the civilians living in the land. Xingkong Sect is a small sect, but it is slowly gaining in power, waiting for the day when it can step out of the shadows. It has two main branches: Xingkong Ri, those who pay fealty to Xihe, goddess of the sun under the domain of the Lightweaver; Xingkong Yue, those who pay fealty to Chang’e, goddess of the moon under the domain of the Shadowbinder. Our main story starts when two brothers, related by oath and promise, are accepted into the clan, and slowly begin unraveling the depths of the secrets — both minor and major — that have been kept hidden from public eye… [rule] [size=4][font=Avenir][b][i]a clan so close yet so[color=transparent]x[/color]f [color=transparent]x[/color]a [color=transparent]x[/color] r[color=transparent]XXX[/color]a [color=transparent]XX[/color] w[color=transparent]XX[/color] a [color=transparent]XX[/color] y [color=transparent]XXX[/color].[color=transparent]XXX[/color].

tales of the imperial court

Descension of the Dragon, Ascension of the Xiezhi
Zhongguo’s Empire has been thrown into chaos; the Exalted Emperor has been discovered to be colluding with an enemy foreign nation. Amidst the cries of the common dragons to have the Emperor held accountable, the nobilities’ and imperial court’s frantic to get things in order, Princess Mingyan takes care of what remaining family she has by her side, and sets things in order the only way a princess like her can.

[*] Cultivation technique - basic way to cultivate. Essentially the ‘starting point’. Different techniques have different pros and cons, and are suited towards different cultivation styles. [/LIST] [b]Golden Core:[/b] [LIST] [*] Golden cores are essentially the powerhouses of a cultivator. Every cultivator has one, or trying to form one. [*] If it’s destroyed, it can grow back. However, if the qi lines are destroyed, then the cultivator will forever remain as an ordinary dragon. [*] The stages of power vary from story to story, but in this universe’s case, it is as listed: [/LIST] [indent][list] [*] Qi Formation - tempering the body until it can sense and send Qi throughout the body. [*] Foundation Building - branches off into different techniques of cultivation to circulate Qi to form a core. [*] Golden Core - reinforces all Qi circulation by focusing it to a point, usually one of the dantians. [*] Nascent Soul - Qi gains consciousness, and allows for astral projection. [/list][/indent] [b]Cultivation Styles:[/b] [LIST] [*] Martial cultivation - cultivation through weapons. Cultivators fight with weapons to improve their cores. [*] Musical cultivation - cultivation through music. Cultivators fight with musical instruments to improve their cores. [*] Seal cultivation - cultivation through the use of seals. Cultivators channel their qi into the seals they make, which lets them cultivate. [*] Alchemical cultivation - cultivation through alchemy. Cultivators channel their qi in making alchemy, which lets them cultivate. [*] Spiritual cultivation - cultivation through self and meditation. Generally the hardest and only suited towards those free of burdens and confident in themselves. [/LIST] There’s no “good” way to cultivate, though must choose either martial or musical as those are the most varied and quickest. Seal and alchemical are a little slower and more specialised, but they can be dangerous in their own ways. for a better understanding of this (aka with the mandarin characters that forums don’t allow but for some reason dragon bios do) please look at [url= https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/80569539]XingkongSect[/url]. [LIST] [*] They/them pronouns will be considered as the technically gender-neutral/male ‘Ta’. Any other xenogender pronouns… well. I’ll think about that later hahahah [/LIST] [b]On rankings:[/b] The sect generally follows ranks based on cultivation level. From highest to lowest: [LIST] [*] [b]Sect leader[/b] - The leader of the sect as a whole. Everyone answers to them. Only one at a time. [*] [b]Branch leaders[/b] - leaders of XK Ri and XK Yue, separately. They answer to the sect leader, and no one else. Two at a time. [*] [b]Sect masters[/b] - essentially the teachers of the sect. There’s quite a few of them, and they also act as a ‘council’ within their respective branches. [*] [b]Upper/Inner Disciples[/b] - disciples ranging from Golden Core to Nascent Soul (latter rarely) [*] [b]Lower/Outer Disciples[/b] - disciples ranging from Qi Formation to just before Golden Core. [/LIST]

The beasts and plants you are used to have no bearing here, and it’s recommended to read this list of common or well known flora and fauna, lest you mistakenly find yourself in trouble… Danger Levels: 1 is the most dangerous, 10 is the least. [b]Fauna[/b] [columns] [img]https://i.imgur.com/6vGkeVS.png[/img] [nextcol] [b]Name in bold[/b] - danger level - mutation of what Some generic knowledge on the creature, and what to do if you find yourself in contact with one of them. [/columns] [columns] [img]https://i.imgur.com/6vGkeVS.png[/img] [nextcol] [b]Black-Jeweled Angel - 6 - Death Seeker[/b] Though they are dangerous towards civilians and beginning cultivators, an experienced cultivator will find them an annoyance at most. Unlike Death Seekers, the Black-Jeweled Angel’s goals aim towards causing as much death as possible by dropping the regeneration-able jewel in their crest down and blowing things up, so as to gain more power. It can be defeated by stabbing it through its jewel while it’s on its crest, or by spraying Volcore Essence at it. If you see one, [i]do not run[/i]. It detects motions, so as long as you stay still, it’ll eventually leave. However, move only when you do not hear any sizzling sounds, as in recent years, Black-Jeweled Angels have been tricking dragons by only pretending to leave. [/columns] [br][br] [columns] [b]Tri-tailed Ashencore[/b] - 3 - Darktouched Chimera The Tri-tailed Ashencore — not to be confused with simply Ashencore — is basically a Darktouched Chimera, just with 2 more limbs, a dangerously higher temperature, and is more dangerous than its counterpart in general. It is capable of melting most metals with its horns, and its snaketails spew poison from their mouths. Despite its danger, however, it is kept around due to how much Volcore Essence drops from it, although only until their maturity starts to develop into elderly. If you see one, do your best to run and hide. It is a predator through and through, and if you do not have the right spiritual tools and strength to take it down, it will kill you. It doesn’t care for dragons, but it is rated as highly as it is due to how easy it is to accidentally make yourself ‘prey’ in its eyes.

three more reserves should be fine, no?
