Background and History

Great Wei was founded after its founder—one of the rare ancient Qi Practitioners—created the Secret Medicine martial path. He spread that more accessible system, overthrew the Previous Dynasty, and established Great Wei. 133

For centuries, the dynasty maintained its strength by drawing powerful martial artists into the Imperial Court’s system, leaving rebel forces without comparable high-level combatants. Its rule nonetheless relied on harsh taxation and compulsory labor, driving many people into poverty and displacement. 115

Governance, Institutions, and Resources

Institution / Policy Function
Martial Imperial Examination During the Wuding era, Great Wei added the Martial Scholar examination for Skin Tempering martial artists. Each county could admit thirty candidates; the title granted a 300-mu tax exemption and ten corvée exemptions. 36
Official martial hierarchy Passing the Prefectural Examination granted official status. Qi Sensing Martial Masters could become alternate county magistrates, while lower-ranked successful candidates were generally assigned to the Prefecture City Garrison. 152
Imperial Observatory A highly specialized state department that monitors celestial matters and secretly guards the boundary between human territory and the Demon Race’s domain. 95 290
Imperial Guards Elite palace troops able to rapidly seal off major sites and deter martial factions through numbers, discipline, and morale. 372
Myriad Monster Realm A secret realm controlled by the Imperial Family. Entry requires tribute, allowing Great Wei to regulate access to cultivation resources and reinforce its authority. 336
Spirit Severing Arrays Strategic formations protecting vital energy veins and border defenses; their destruction threatens Great Wei’s territorial security. 571
