[🪭] — Jing Yuan & Yanqing

Heliobies are parasitic spirits that feed on the emotions and will of living beings. In Lofu Xianzhou, they are considered a serious threat: they can possess people, distort their perceptions, push them to dangerous actions, and even provoke mass anomalies. To contain the heliobies, Xianzhou has built an entire system: suppression towers, special hunter squads, and sealing rituals. They are viewed not simply as "ghosts," but as a real threat to the order and stability of the region—thus, combating them has been elevated to the level of a national mission. Jing Yuan, as the Cloud Knights' general and the guardian of order in Lofu, takes an extremely pragmatic approach to the heliobies: they are enemies that must be neutralized without succumbing to provocation or losing one's composure. He doesn't hate them, but he's also not prone to excessive softness: his priority isn't to destroy them at any cost, but to reliably isolate them to prevent further casualties. In story missions, he acts as a coordinator—directing his subordinates, assessing risks, and intervening only when the situation threatens to spiral out of control. His approach is strategic control, not emotional impulse. Yanqing, as Jing Yuan's apprentice and a young but very ambitious swordsman, views heliobi as a test of skill and will. His drive for perfection and thirst for proving his strength make him particularly vulnerable: this is why heliobi often try to manipulate him in quests, promising to reveal the "true essence" of his technique or expose hidden flaws. At such moments, Yanqing acts impulsively, and this is precisely what makes him dangerous not only to his enemies but also to those around him. Yanqing's attitude toward spirits is a mixture of disdain and passion: he seeks to defeat them as a personal challenge, sometimes underestimating the threat. Jing Yuan acts as a counterbalance in such situations: he doesn't scold his student, but gently but firmly brings them back to discipline, reminding them that strength lies not only in striking hard, but also in the ability to control oneself. Thus, heliobi is an important element of Luofu lore, in short, damn it.

How the fox people and the Luofu society relate to Yanqing and Jing Yuan.
Relationship with Jing Yuan (General of the Cloud Knights)
Formal and respectful. As the "Dormant General" and one of the Five Generals of the Alliance, Jing Yuan commands respect not only on Lofu but also among other Xianzhou ships. Fox diplomats (like Yukong and Tingyun) interact with him as an equal, recognizing his strategic acumen and ability to maintain balance on Lofu.
Trust in Crises. In story missions, it is Jing Yuan who coordinates the actions of commissions and external forces (including the Starlight Express), and representatives of other races, including the fox people, rely on his decisions.
A reputation as a "calm leader," his management style—not brute force, but patience and proactive planning—is seen as a guarantee of Loffu's stability, appreciated by both locals and visitors from other ships.
Relationship to Yanqing:
Admiration for his skill, but with a grain of salt. Yanqing is a phenomenally gifted swordsman and lieutenant of the Cloud Knights, and his talent is recognized by everyone, including guests from other ships. However, due to his youth and impulsiveness, he is viewed as a "promising but hot-blooded" fighter: respected, but not always trusted with independent missions.
Interaction with the Fox People. Yanqing's direct connections with fox characters in the canon are few, but in joint operations (for example, coordinating commissions), his professionalism is unquestionable. Fox diplomats value his loyalty to Jing Yuan and his effectiveness in battle.
Perception as the "general's successor." Many in Luofu see Yanqing as a future leader, and this sentiment carries over to outside observers: fox representatives monitor his rise as an indicator of the succession of power in Luofu.
Nuances:
There is no "common voice" of the people. Attitudes toward characters in the Xianzhou Alliance are always multi-layered: there is the official position of the commissions, the opinion of the military, and the views of individual families and clans. Therefore, "how the people feel" is more a spectrum of positions than a unified opinion.

Jing Yuan's friendships:
Yanqing is his student and closest aide. Jing Yuan has effectively become his surrogate family: he took him under his wing as a child and taught him military skills and the art of strategy. Their bond extends far beyond teacher-student: the general treats the young man with paternal care, and Yanqing is boundlessly devoted to his mentor.
Jingliu is Jing Yuan's former mentor. She imparted her knowledge to him and greatly shaped him as a warrior and strategist. Despite her tragic fate (defeat by Mara), Jing Yuan still deeply respects her and was unable to deal her a fatal blow, allowing her to escape.
Locha—they share a special bond: in their dialogue, the characters refer to each other as people with a "hole in their hearts," hinting at mutual understanding and empathy. They act together, sharing complex moral positions and pursuing common goals.
Yanqing's friendships:
Jing Yuan is Yanqing's main support and mentor. Their relationship goes beyond that of lieutenant general: Jing Yuan has effectively become Yanqing's family, raising him from childhood, and teaching him swordsmanship and military strategy. Yanqing is completely devoted to the general, who in turn treats the young man with fatherly care and exceptional trust (for example, entrusting him with the most important tasks and not scolding him for risky decisions).
Yunli is a rival and sparring partner. They have a dynamic, competitive relationship: they constantly taunt each other, debate skill, and duel, yet they also respect each other's skills. In shared quests, they assist each other in combat, and their dialogue is filled with friendly banter. According to the lore, they are roughly the same age, both passionate about swords, and striving for perfection.
Locha's interactions are more reserved but respectful. In-game events and dialogue suggest a mutual appreciation of their professionalism: Locha, as a skilled healer and merchant, often crosses paths with the Cloud Knights, and Yanqing values ​​his expertise. Their relationship isn't particularly friendly, but it's healthy.

two key tasks:
Fight the Mara. Mara is a unique, extremely dangerous condition that is inevitable for all long-lived species. It's not a disease in the traditional sense, but rather a degradation: a person loses touch with reality, becomes aggressive, and can commit crimes without even realizing it. The Commission's task is to identify such individuals promptly, isolate them, and stop them.
Punish for serious crimes, in particular, for the so-called "ten unforgivable abominations."

Stellarons are objects woven from "vague matter" that disrupts the flow of imaginary energy. They are bound to a specific Path of a given Aeon (for example, the Path of Destruction or Preservation).

The IWC is the Interstellar World Corporation (short for "Interstellar World"). It is one of the most influential factions in the universe, a high-tech, pan-galactic megacorporation that effectively controls all trade and economic relations in the galaxy. Popular IWC employees include Aventurine, Topaz, and Jasper (or Jade).

Credits are money, they are dark blue bills with a gold insert at the end.

A disease, or as they say, a curse, that gives a second life to those infected. Mara is a tree with yellow flowers. Those infected with this disease are healed upon death, being reborn. A person infected with Mara experiences headaches and aggression. Then, a tree with yellow flowers sprouts inside the person, for example, from the mouth and eye. Those infected with this curse are aggressive and want to kill everyone.

These are the elite armed forces of the Xianzhou Alliance, the primary military structure that protects the worldships from threats—primarily the Abundant Dwellers and the effects of Mara.
