The World

Jade Meridian is a world whose twelve great qi meridians run through mountains, rivers, and cities like the veins of a living body. Each meridian has a breath gate where disciplined martial practice can influence weather, spirits, harvests, and even the shape of roads. The old empire is weakening, rival schools are arming their students, and every ambitious lord must decide whether to heal the world, exploit it, or let it finally stop breathing.

The Ages

  1. The Breathing World

    First Age

    The sages learned that the planet itself breathes qi through twelve great meridians, and founded settlements around the places where its pulse reaches the surface.

  2. The Hundred Schools

    Second Age

    Martial clans, monasteries, river leagues, and imperial courts developed rival disciplines for guiding qi, turning philosophy into practical power.

  3. The Broken Seal

    Third Age

    A failed attempt to bind the twelve meridians caused earthquakes, spirit storms, and the rise of warlords who now seek control of the world's living pulse.

Secrets

The world is the body of a dead celestial dragon.

Discovery · Monks at several distant temples repeat the same breathing exercise in their sleep.

Impact · The twelve meridians are not natural features but the scars of a slain celestial dragon, and its heart still beats beneath the world.

A lost thirteenth breath gate exists beneath the central sea.

Discovery · Old imperial maps show twelve breath gates, but the oldest maps mark a thirteenth.

Impact · The hidden thirteenth gate can either heal the planet or awaken the dragon beneath it.

The cult serves a death spirit rather than a mortal master.

Discovery · Some revenants remember dying twice and describe the same silent figure waiting in the Quiet Country.

Impact · The Still Hand cult is guided by an exiled death spirit that wants to make all souls permanent and motionless.
