Hidden within the mountains is a temple. The temple houses a quiet storm. The storm has been brewing. Waiting. To be unleashed.The school was created centuries ago by a collection of friends and master swordsmen. Rumor has it that the group had come from a different realm, that they were immortal. However, as time would have it, that was not the case. Indeed, they lived for what seemed like centuries, they eventually succumbed to the unrelenting turn of time's wheel. During their time alive, they walked the earth having no equals as swordsmen. They gathered talent, elevated their cultivation, and created skills unlike the world has even seen. Their symbol the majestic dragon in the sky, and their art was that of the sword. Swift, precise, and often arrogant, their ideals were passed down through a series of master, each meticulously selected and tested.
Currently, the master of the school is this man
An eccentric man. Those who do not know will say that he has gone insane in his pursuit of the ultimate sword. He often is seen smiling for no reason, laughing to himself. He obsessed of his sword, or any sword for that matter. His craft is such that he can tell the core metal of any bladed weapon upon first glance. He himself, however, does not usually carry a bladed weapon. He instead uses a cane, of his own creation. Do not let this fool you. He is as lethal with just his bare hands as anyone can be with any weapon. In fact, his 'insanity' can be attributed to the practice of Tiān Lóng Sì's ultimate sword technique, the liù mài shén jiàn, or the Six Meridians Sword. To be fair, one does not go insane when training for that technique. He just happened to have undergone some dramatic transformation in his pursuit. His hair was once obsidian black, but is now a blue silver. No one truly knows his age, or how long it took him to ascend to his current statues. All that is known is that he can kill without sound, and is often drunk...
