Shu-Yan

The Swordmaster

Shu-Yan is a infamous wandering swordsmaster, traveling the world in search of worthy opponents to challenge to a life-or-death duel. He promises those who accept his challenge with wealth beyond their wildest dreams and the honour of having defeated the great Shu-Yan himself. Those who refuse seemingly get cursed, and most die within a year, having withered away into a husk of their former selfs.

Personal history

Records of Shu-Yan can be traced back to more than 400 years ago, leading to much speculations about his true identity. Some say he is the lost eldest son of the dragon-monarchs Mithran & Isadora who chose a life of battle over a life at court. Others believe he is an oni, traveling in search of worthy souls to send to the sun. And others again believe that rather than a single man Shu-Yan is a title which gets passed from master to pupil throughout the generations.

Shu-Yan himself only challenges those who have proving themselves worthy through great feats of strength and are at their peak performance. But if he is challenged he is seemingly bound to accept, no matter how insignificant or weak his opponent seems to him.
