Great Realms

The Great Yin Dynasty: Three hundred years since its founding, it is now powerful on the outside but weak within. The emperor is old and frail, the crown prince and the third prince vie for the throne, civil officials feud with the palace eunuchs, the treasury is empty, and the border army has gone unpaid for thirteen years. Northern Frontier, Shuofang: North of the Great Wall live the nomadic **Eight Clans of the Gray Wolf**. They have not invaded south for thirty years because of a secret pact made during the previous emperor’s reign, but the pact is about to expire. Southern Border, the Hundred Thousand Mountains: A land of witchcraft and sorcery, separated from Great Yin by a river. They have enjoyed a century of peace, but are secretly plotting and infiltrating the dynasty. Western Marches, the Buddhist Kingdom: The kingdom is in decline and its eminent monks are dying out. A secret capable of overturning the world lies within a golden statue. The martial world: The ten highest-ranked fighters, the three peaks of the sword world, great sects, bandit gangs, river guilds, and salt guilds. The more corrupt the court becomes, the more chaotic the martial world grows. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental.
