Order of Yuzhen Thanshu Characters: Clans & Guest Spellcasters

Capital: Yuzhen
Yuzhen is more than just a city; it is a vast, shining metropolis and the center of all of Shanlu. It lies in a fertile valley, surrounded by powerful magical barriers.
• Architecture: Majestic buildings of white stone and gold. The streets are wide, paved with polished jade. The flow of energy here is physically palpable.
• Atmosphere: The city lives by the laws of the Order. Order and prosperity reign here. All Shanlu spellcasters are required to undergo training here, so the city is always full of adepts and pilgrims from all lands.
The heart of Shanlu’s power: Where justice is administered and wisdom flourishes.
The House of the Blazing Sun is the architectural triumph of the Yuzhen Thanshu Order. Rising above the golden roofs of the capital, the residence serves not only as the home of the Supreme Spellcaster but also as the main political center of all the lands. Ten years ago, after the departure of the previous ruler, the Heads of the Great Clans elected Thanshu Wu Hao to this post, bestowing upon him the sacred title of Wei. Since then, he has been not merely the Head of his Order, but the First Among Equals, the keeper of balance in Shanlu.
Halls of Authority and Redemption
The residence’s architecture is intended to inspire awe and remind us of the inevitability of law:
• Hall of Great Judgment (Hall of Blazing Truth): A vast space bathed in light through stained-glass windows of burgundy. Here, disputes between Clans are resolved and sentences are passed on traitors.
• Pavilion of Repentance: A secluded, austere building in a shady part of the residence. Here, the offending spellcasters spend their days in meditation and spiritual cleansing.
Gardens of Prosperity
In contrast to the austerity of the halls, the Great Garden of the Sun surrounds the residence:
• Fruitful Abundance: Massive, centuries-old trees grow in the garden, their branches drooping under the weight of rare fruits.
• Ruby Alleys: The garden’s paths are paved with red stone and lead to tranquil ponds, where Supreme Spellcaster Wei Wu Hao receives distinguished guests in an informal setting.
Clan Trait: The Sight of Truth
All direct descendants of the Yuzhen Thanshu Clan Head undergo the ancient ritual of Thanshu Founder Mao Kun, acquiring mystical scarlet eyes.
Yuzhen Thanshu Clan Spirit: The Inevitability of the Sun
While other Shanlu Clans strive for swift victories, the spirit of Thanshu embodies the eternal and measured movement of the sun across the sky. Their strength lies not in impulsiveness, but in absolute constancy.
Philosophy: The Way of Steadfast Movement
The Clan motto: “Don’t be afraid to slow down, be afraid to stop.”
These words define the entire life of a Yuzhen Thanshu spellcaster. They believe that true power lies not in speed, but in the absence of pauses. For them, “to delay” means carefully weighing every decision, studying the enemy, and waiting for the perfect moment. But “to stop” means losing to the darkness. As long as a Thanshu spellcaster takes even a single step, they remain invincible.
Magic Traits:
• Magic of Creation and Destruction: Their techniques resemble the slow but scorching heat of the sun. They do not waste energy on hasty strikes, but their rare attacks always reach their target with devastating force.
Clan Life: Discipline of the Step
• Restraint of the Supreme Spellcaster: Wei Wu Hao himself embodies this motto in his rule. For 10 years, he has not made a single hasty move, but his reforms and will have steadily transformed Shanlu.
• Training: Thanshu disciples are taught that even the smallest action, repeated daily, will crush mountains. The Yuzhen Thanshu value not those who learn a spell the fastest, but those who never stop working on it.
• Attitude to the World: The Yuzhen Thanshu Clan perceives darkness as a temporary cloud obscuring the sun. They may “delay,” allowing events to unfold, but they will never “stop” until they have purified the world.
Appearance: Symbol of Stability
The spellcasters maroon hanfu and their calm movements create the image of people who know the truth. They are confident that victory is only a matter of time.
