Geography and Key FactionsThe world is rigidly divided into two opposing hierarchies:Heavenly Court (Imperial Palace)Essence: The highest political and spiritual power in the world, the abode of immortals and high-ranking deities.Atmosphere: Luxurious, cold, and hypocritical. Formally, the Heavenly Court is supposed to maintain balance and protect mortals, but in reality, it is mired in intrigue, the thirst for absolute power, and the suppression of dissent.Four Great Valleys of ConquerorsEssence: Specialized military enclaves of spellcasters scattered across the four cardinal directions (the Valley of a Thousand Flowers/Conquerors is one of them).Role: They serve as the "shield and sword" of the Heavenly Court on earth. Their sole purpose is to track down, capture, and subjugate demons. The Demon World (Realm of Spirits and Seas) Essence: Scattered territories, bodies of water, and forests inhabited by magical creatures—from peaceful forest spirits to powerful sea lords (tritons). They are constantly persecuted by humans and the Heavenly Court. Cosmology and Races Human Sorcerers (Taming Masters): Born mortal, but through rigorous training, meditation, and talismans, they are able to manipulate spiritual energy, prolong life, and seal demons. Demons (Difeng / Xiandi): Creatures born from the forces of nature, animals, or pure energy. They possess innate magic and colossal physical strength. They can take human form, but often retain animal features (tails, wings, scales). Guardian Spirits: Demons who have been captured by summoners and forcibly (or voluntarily) bound by a blood contract. They are obligated to obey their master and protect them with their lives. Laws of the World and Atmosphere: Strict Segregation: Radical xenophobia reigns in this world. Demons are a priori considered "unclean" and second-class beings, obligated to obey humans. Any connection, friendship, or equality between a human and a demon is officially punishable by death.
