Under the camphors, the Four Great Families
The families of the Murim
Sixteen houses, from the legendary to the common, each with the bonus a player born into it would start with.
To do: a proposal, nothing of it is in the game yet.
A sect teaches whoever it chooses; a family hands down by blood. Later, every player will be born into one of these houses and start with its bonus: a weapon, a passive or a technique (see the heritage). Each house has its own page, with its art and its legends.
