Foes

Leader of the mounted raiders of the eastern Wulin, riding a blood-red warhorse sheathed in spikes; as a young man he meant to join the very path he now hunts.

An Envoy of the Order with a tiger-shaped cannon fitted to his severed arm, roaring like a tiger when charged.

Mu Tianmiao's only daughter and Soul's childhood friend, swift as a swallow with the slender sword Wild Oriole.

Soul's father and the master of the Bastion of Mó, who teaches through crossed blades instead of words.

Eldest of the Four Axes, who underwent Transcension to avenge his three brothers and could split stone with a single swing.

A woman in red who keeps to the top of the Dovecote tower, her swordplay light and graceful, her face burned hollow by Sha-Chi.

A masked master met beyond the Lóng Pillar, in a place of fire and darkness; he spars with Soul without meaning to win, and leaves him the name "Bastion of Mó."

A hulking hammer wielder guarding the Mandate Encampment, his body covered in scars left by Transcension.

Bi Taotao's first disciple, holding a soft sword behind a cracked mask in the Confinement.

A healer who rules the backstreets of Pangzhen behind a mask set with copper coins, living off the Sha-Chi of the Transcended.

A gatekeeper in full plate behind a beast-faced tower shield — slow, unflinching, and impossible to drive back.

Soul's oldest friend and now the Order's Shadow Sovereign, a swordsman who turns Sha-Chi into a storm of blades.
