In the twilight of the first moon, the blood of the dead and wounded commence to paint the grisly scene of the struggle for victory, and as the land began to bleed, it brought with it the dawning of the new factions.

From the territories to the South, came the Dragon Clan. Masters of the sword, saber, and gauntlet; these fierce warriors use their inner energy with deadly accuracy. Proud and loyal, they would rather fight to the death than surrender. Their Chieftain, Lord Yudi was one of the few who had seen the power of the 12sky, as the legendary sword of Master Chen was now called, and lived to tell about it.

From the lands to the West, came the Snake Clan, bringing with them an awesome display of powerful weapons. These aggressive warriors can slay their opponents with sound waves that transmit over long distances.
From the mountainous regions of the East, came the Tiger Clan.  These powerful warriors rely on their strength alone… and for good reason.   Unlike the Snake Clan, they are far superior in physical stature, with attributes higher than the other two Clans.  Their weapons, though appearing to be huge and mighty, are relatively weak, inflicting low damage.  One would be foolish however, to underestimate them because of their low speed and agility; they more than make up for it with their immense power.  Many have perished due to this mistake.  

As these factions grew, so did their strength and abilities. In a short time the battlefields gave way to dangerous beasts; monsters possessed with deadly powers that presented all challengers with treacherous quests. Only the most experienced warriors would even dare to attempt them. The rewards though, out weighed the risks and soon, within the midst of each faction, came warriors of proven stature. And again they waited, wondering if the promise that had been made a decade ago, would be upheld….
