Northern Wind Slash

In the northern frontier flows a river called the "Broken Current."

It isn't truly broken. Its waters are too swift, its reefs too treacherous. Nine out of ten boats that venture there are smashed into splinters, and the bones of those aboard sink with them to feed the fish. The elders say dragon bones lie along the riverbed, stretching from its source to the sea. Each one is wrapped in resentful souls, and when the wind blows hard, you can hear them weeping from the riverbank.

The Broken Current begins deep within the "Northern Garrison Mountains," which stretch for a thousand li. No one can say for sure what is hidden in those mountains. Some say there are flood dragons that spit pearls, others say there are immortals who can fly, and still others say the dragon veins of the previous dynasty are buried there.

The previous dynasty is a name found only in fragments of old texts: "Great Jing." Great Jing fell three hundred years ago. The northern barbarians come to batter the passes every so often, while the southern court has changed hands between three surnames. Linjiang City, guarding the choke point of the Broken Current, has seen its walls built, collapse, and built again...

But there are always those who believe in something else.

They believe the flood dragons in the river can become immortals, that the veins in the mountains can reveal their power, and that the "dragon bone" lost three hundred years ago will one day dig its way out of the earth and set this chaotic world straight again.
