Background
Three Rivers County is the smallest county in Yun Province, situated roughly eight hundred miles from Yun Province City. It contains a county seat and administers eleven towns. 15 98
The county is a martial world stronghold where ordinary people live alongside martial artists. Its walls offer little protection against cultivators above the Skin Refining Realm, who can scale them with relative ease. 1 65
Geography & Settlements
| Location | Description |
|---|---|
| County seat | Administrative center of the county, containing the County Yamen, Hanging Pot Medical Hall, Iron Fist Martial Hall, and neighborhoods such as Vermilion Bird Alley and East City. 12 27 65 85 |
| Golden Buddha Temple | An abandoned temple west of the county seat containing a Reclining Buddha statue; beggars occasionally shelter there. Shen Han finds the Black Brick in a hidden compartment within its wall. 30 |
| Pine Forest Ghost Market | An underground market twenty li north of the city, where goods of dubious origin are traded. It opens on every ninth day of the month. 71 79 |
| Stone Ox Town | A town under the county's jurisdiction, about one hundred miles from the county seat. Stone Ox Mountain behind it served as the Green Garment Gang's headquarters. 40 |
| Stone Goat Town | The county's farthest town, nearly two hundred li away and located on the border between two counties. Its mixed population and chaotic setting make rare goods easier to obtain. 56 |
| Stone Dog Town | A town sixty li from the county seat. Red Flower Tavern operated there as a base for Moon Worship Cult deputy incense masters. 107 109 |
| Two Immortals Bridge | A mountain valley outside the county, named for its resemblance to two immortals crossing a bridge. 62 |
Governance & Power Structure
County Yamen
Magistrate He Guitu governs through the Three Rivers County Yamen. He generally tolerates local martial factions as long as they do not threaten imperial authority, preferring to let rival groups check one another rather than attempt to eradicate them outright. 38 98
When the Moon Worship Cult began poisoning civilians and openly destabilizing the county, He hired Mr. Ugly Face to eliminate its deputy incense masters. 98 101
One Hall, Two Gangs
The county's three foremost martial powers were collectively known as “one hall, two gangs.” Their leaders were Bone Refining Realm experts, making them the dominant forces in the region. 13 42
| Faction | Territory / Base | Position |
|---|---|---|
| Iron Fist Martial Hall | Within the county seat | Controlled the city and sought the Dark Iron Brick. 13 76 |
| Black Dragon Gang | Outside the county seat | One of the two dominant gangs beyond the city; later defeated the Green Garment Gang and sought to unify the county's martial world. 13 107 |
| Green Garment Gang | Stone Ox Mountain | One of the original three major powers; nearly annihilated by the Black Dragon Gang. 40 107 |
Four Mid-Tier Sects
Four lesser but influential factions operated outside the county seat:
Their leaders were killed in a single night, an event that drew public celebration because of the sects' poor reputations. 106
Moon Worship Cult
The Moon Worship Cult maintains a covert hierarchy in Three Rivers County: an unidentified incense master oversees the county, while each of its eleven towns has a deputy incense master. 76 92
The cult's deputy incense masters infiltrated or influenced local factions, including upper-ranking members of the Long Blade Sect, Blood Transformation Temple, and Black Wind Stronghold. 82 By the time of Shen Han's campaign against them, five of the eleven deputies had been killed. 102
Economy & Resources
- Hanging Pot Medical Hall became one of the county's most prominent medical institutions, with Shen Han's Clinic No. 13 attracting patients through affordable and effective treatment. 27
- Pine Forest Ghost Market provides access to contraband, rare medicines, martial manuals, and other goods unsuitable for public sale. 71 79
- Heaven-Reaching Grass, a rare ingredient needed for Marrow-Cleansing and Tendon-Forging Water, was unavailable through normal county pharmacies and had to be sought through towns or the ghost market. 38 71
- The county has no artifact refiners, preventing local craftsmen from creating equipment such as the proposed gold-threaded armor or refining divine artifacts. 101
- The Dark Iron Brick, discovered in Golden Buddha Temple, is sought by Iron Fist Martial Hall because it can accelerate cultivation. 30 76
