The Third Realm
Heaven commands and the Middle Kingdom Obeys
Or so the story goes. Yet, as Wu Ying travels the lands beyond the kingdom of Shen, he sees both the minor and major truth of reality. Disparate forms of government, among kingdoms and villages, among immortal sects and mortal governance abound, each with their own interpretation.
As Wu Ying chases the traces of the Heaven's Wind, grasping at the truth it so elusively dangles before him, he must also contend with his own place under the Heaven's. Or among them.
