The Trifecta

Item from The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

Three war orphans who became legends — Daji, Riga, and Jiang, who climbed Mount Tianshan, entered the Pantheon, poisoned the twelve warlords, and reunified Nikan 'without shedding a single drop of blood.'

Also known as: The Trifecta, The Three Shamans

What They Know

• Three war orphans who became the most powerful shamans in history — Su Daji (the Vipress), Yin Riga (the Dragon Emperor), and Jiang Ziya (the Gatekeeper)
• The seal separates the spirit world from the human world — shamans punch controlled holes in it to channel, but full breach would release the gods
• Created the Chuluu Korikh system as a containment mechanism for shamans too powerful to control
• Disagreed about long-term management: Daji chose political control, others diverged — these disagreements shaped centuries of Nikara history
• Their act of sealing is the foundational event of the current era — everything in the trilogy flows from the system they established
