   Keys: The Xianzhou Alliance, The Xianzhou Lufou, Xianzhou

   While it is technically a ship and not a planet, the Xianzhou Luofu is at least the size of one. It currently includes six zones. The Loufu has big cities on it, which makes it look more like a planet.

   Stellaron = "Neutralized(by the trailblazers and the general Jing Yuan)"

   Path = "The Hunt(one of the seven paths lead by the Aeon Lan. Those who follow the Hunt admire determination and ruthlessness.)"

   The Xianzhou Alliance ("Immortal Boat Alliance") is an ancient, space-faring civilization following the Aeon Lan. The Xianzhou Luofu, is one of the six Flagships owned by the Hexafleet of the Xianzhou Alliance. The spaceships of the Alliance are rather popular, as many people want to understand how the people that live here have such a long life. Nevertheless searching for immortality is strictly forbidden there.

   Backstory: Long ago, before the Xianzhou took off to the skies, the ancestors lived on the surface of a planet. Like all of the normal humans, the Xianzhou people at that time were a mortal species with a lifespan of fewer than 100 years. There was a time when the ruling emperor could not bear his temporary existance, or the thought of his life's archievements being lost to another after his death..he became fixated on aquiring an elixier of immortality. he focused his power on contructing a fleet of nine ships. These ships would voyage into deep space, where traces of gods were rumored to exist. The Emperor succeeded...but also didn't. He succeeded because, after an arduous journey, the nine ships eventually witnessed the manifestation of a god - Yaoishi's appearance provided of all manner of unfathomable celestial blessings..however he failed because the fleet has been lost ever since and never returned to it's home planet. In the eras that followed, other beings that had likewise receibed Yaoshi's blessing repeatedly attacked the Xianzhou in an attempt to take the sacred artifact as their own. Countless atrocities were committed as a result. Many Xianzhou comrades who were lucky enough to survive the wars became stricken with mara - a condition that immortals are susceptible to. Had it not be for the enlightenment and protection of the Reignbow Arbiter, the Xianzhou Alliance you see today would have never existed.

   Keys: Nanook the Destruction, Stellaron

   A Stellaron is a mysterious object spreading across the universe like a cancerous growth, leading it to be nicknamed the Cancer of All Worlds by the Interastral Peace Corporation. Stellarons are considered seeds of disaster which cause massive changes to civilizations and ecosystems, and result in the appearance of Fragmentum. According to Herta, Stellarons are a type of lifeform with a special property that tethers them to a certain Path or Aeon's power. They respond to the desires of the world to which it is tethered. However, the cost of fulfilling those desires is a great disaster to the world. Stellarons have been known to be capable of communication with a particular person of interest, such as Cocolia, likely in order carry out the desires of the world. The Trailblazer, who holds such a Stellaron within their body, is able to hear its voice as well. The Stellaron Hunters, who serve an enigmatic individual known as Elio, scour the world for Stellarons and have obtained several. Their intentions are currently unclear; Kafka appears to know the Trailblazer's background and implanted a Stellaron in their body for an unknown reason. It is speculated that the Antimatter Legion and Nanook the Destruction may be involved with the appearance of Stellarons. This is due to the frequent appearance of Stellarons shortly after these destroyers of universes appear on worlds. It is currently unknown if these occurrences are related or just coincidence.

   "People know very little about these mysterious existences that stroll through the vast stellar sea. Limited by inherent capacities of cognition, intelligent lifeforms can only faintly discern that Aeons tread upon Paths imperceptible to mortal beings and execute unfathomable powers via some form of belief. In legends passed down through word of mouth, the Aeons became the embodiment of highly condensed philosophical concepts in the end."

   • Nanook the Destruction
   • Lan the Hunt
   • Nous the Erudition
   • Xipe the Harmony

    Keys: previous life, Vidyadhara, Cloudcry Magic, offspring, incarnations, reborn

    Overview: The Vidyadhara, also known as Long's Scions, are a humanoid race with draconic features who are descendants of Long, the deceased Aeon of Permanence. They are primarily found within the Xianzhou Alliance.

    A Vidyadhara's most telling and distinctive feature is their pointed, sharp ears. A long-lived species, Vidyadhara molt after living for six or seven hundred years, repairing their bodies then hatching anew from pearl-like eggs with their memories wiped. They typically go to Scalegorge Waterscape for the self-reincarnating process. There, Vidyadhara Pearlkeepers will assist and protect their newly-reborn kin. They are unable to have offspring, and therefore any Vidyadhara deaths lead to a permanent decrease in their overall population, which they take very seriously. However, this also means the Sky-Faring Commission's travel reviewers are fairly lenient on them, which allows Vidyadhara many opportunities to travel to other worlds compared to the other two races, as they cannot uncontrollably propagate.

    The Vidyadhara are capable of an art known as "Cloudcry Magic", also known as cloudhymn magic, which takes painstaking practice to use. It can used in acrobatic performance art but doesn't really stupefy the crowd as the tricks used are endemic to the Vidyadhara race.[6] It may also have practical combat applications as the Imbibitor Lunae is said to have used it to deflect iron objects thrown at him by a prisoner with great force in the Shackling Prison and later subdued him by sealing his mouth and nostrils shut with tea.[7] The power to turn into dragons was a rare inheritance passed down only to those who could successfully complete numerous rites and challenges. Those that do develop more draconic features such as horns and a tail, and are generally referred to as High Elders.[1] Young high elders are said to still require of the assistance of the Vidyadhara Preceptors for guidance. [8]

    At some point in their lives, high elders will receive the "Orb of Abysm" and the "Transmutation Arcanum" which should enable them to re-experience the events of their dragon ancestors' lives in dreams. The Office of Deep Sources is charged with transcribing, retelling, and annotating these dreams, and their files run to an enormous number of volumes. Although such dreams tend to be fragmentary and difficult to understand or interpret, it is the only way the Vidyadhara believe they have of coming close to the Permanence.[8] The Vidyadhara are also said to have always observed the law of natural flow. They believe all creatures are connected to one another, and that life is everlasting in its cycle.[5]

    ADVERTISEMENT Culture The Vidyadhara had made great advancements in medicine. Liu Hua, a Vidyadhara Pearlkeeper that supported the Xianzhou Fanghu high elder for the first three hundred years of his life and became the head healer that closely served him for the last four hundred, wrote a book that is widely recognized as the foundation of the Xianzhou Alliance's modern medicine. Through his long years of clinical practice and research, Liu Hua had acutely realized the Xianzhou medical science's problem at that time: the Xianzhou's tradition of preserving the past meant significant amounts of medical practice relied on experience instead of science. Liu Hua therefore authored this Liu Hua's Medical Compendium in the hopes of re-organizing and better explaining the principles of Xianzhou medical science using more scientific methods of inquiry.[9]

    While the Vidyadhara are known for their unique medical treatment that can only be provided by their race[10], they also appear to have very capable craftsmen. Cloud Knight Lieutenant Yanqing once asked the Trailblazer to help him decide between purchasing two swords from the Artisanship Commission, one of them of Vidyadhara make, forged with the exotic corallium metal of Scalegorge Waterscape and tempered with thaumaspring water.[11] The Passerby's Roaming Dragon Bracers were made from flowing coral gold and the leather of unknown beasts and it was said that only master artisans from the Vidyadhara dragon race could create this kind of superior armor.[12] Yunyou, attendant to the young High Elder, Bailu, commissioned some of the finest craftsmen to create the Dragonhorn Pilory to shackle the latter's tail in order to prevent a loss of control over her powers.[8]

    Vidyadhara elegies are the traditional music of the Vidyadhara people. The Vidyadhara use only simple castanets for musical instruments, relying on extremely diverse sets of melodies. Originating from their folk songs, the style is generally that of mournful dirges. Vidyadhara elegies can be said to represent all of the most tragic aspects of Xianzhou culture as Vidyadhara players tend to sing about loves lost and pyrrhic victories.[13] Vidyadhara elegies suit a tragic tone, and they only have a handful of happy endings as they originate from an era of great unrest and turmoil for them. Most performances leave listeners with a bitter-sweet taste. Several hundred years ago, there was Vidyadhara player named Ling Jie who sang two operas which went sensationally viral aboard the Xianzhou Luofu: "Dragontooth Tales" and "Fateful Rebirth."[14]

    The Vidyadhara also have a presence in the immersia industry. Yong Zheng, a Vidyadhara, was known as one of the greatest directors in the history of Butterfly Immersia with his well-known immersias being; Deep Water, Luofu Monster, Heliobus Ingenia, and Xianzhou Predator. He was said to be one of the pioneers of the evil beast genre. All of Yong Zheng's works in his creative career are from a Vidyadhara's perspective.[3] As for cuisine, there are two currently known Vidyadhara-owned restaurants; Dragon Palace's Kitchen on the Xianzhou Zhuming and Spices Supreme on the Xianzhou Luofu. The former is the only Interastral Gourmet Association-rated five star restaurant among the Xianzhou ships and is known for being expensive while serving small portions, with the chef stating "We Vidyadhara are indifferent to the trappings of fame and fortune, which is why we eat like this." The latter, however opened the restaurant with the opposite dining philosophy in mind, serving big portions, with quality food, and at low prices.[5]
