This is an epic of youthful ambition, a tale of blood and dragon fangs that will bring peace to a world in chaos.
At the beginning of the Great Qian dynasty, Emperor Gao honored his meritorious officials and celebrated generals by dividing the realm into ten vassal states, each positioned to protect the imperial capital, Luocheng. The emperor was sovereign over all under heaven and had the authority to appoint and dismiss each state's chancellor. Every year, the states sent tribute to the capital, and in return, the emperor granted them the legal right to rule their fiefs. This arrangement lasted nearly nine hundred years. As the dynasty aged, the Great Qian gradually declined. Then, when Emperor Xiaoming, the ruler who had revitalized the dynasty, died young and his infant son ascended the throne, turmoil struck the capital. During the Tonghe era, the northern bulwark, the mighty Wuwei Pass, fell. Two successive generals were murdered, and ambitious schemers and long-dormant vassal lords seized their opportunity. Thus began the saga of a world in chaos.
