In the west, behind the Jade Gate (the West), the Heavenly Demon Cult has never forgotten its defeat. Between it and the Alliance the truce is dead: blood flows again on the loess roads.

The Cult's gold, they whisper, flows through the canals of the Thousand Canals Pavilion.

Part one of the game. In the game for now: the Sanguine Art, the blood art of its schools.
