The Bane of Demons — an ancient sect of scholar-warriors perched above the clouds, founded by enslaved scholars who overthrew a tyrant and built a legacy of fighting darkness.
The Cloudy Sword Sect sits above Crimson Crucible City in the Howling Fang Mountains, and its altitude is metaphorical as well as literal. This is where cultivators come to become weapons against demons — centuries of tradition forged in the rebellion of enslaved scholars who overthrew an ancient tyrant. The sect produces martyrs and heroes with equal regularity. Recently, the sect has begun welcoming mortal scholars again — a practice that had diminished over time but is being revived partly through the Hong family's medical expertise, introduced by member Lu Ri. Jin was once its lowest-ranking disciple, watering herbs and performing menial tasks. He left to farm. The irony that his farm accidentally produced more cultivation innovation than the sect's formal training program is not lost on anyone.
Stark mountain beauty sitting above the clouds, with ancient stone architecture that chills the mind and focuses it. Simple yet comfortable quarters for disciples. The sect symbol — a mountain jutting above clouds with a sword character etched into its face — is carved into every surface. The air is thin and cold and absolutely clear.
