Blood Iceberg
15 Oct · Blood temple, the Alliance's arms
The Sanguine Art remade with a fifth technique, the Alliance's sword, spear and shield, a merchant and his money, the first outpost.
- Sanguine Art: a 20-point gauge; Blood Crystal drinks it in 2 s; Scarlet Tear draws a cracked-crystal sword from an unseen sheath and throws it with a run-up; Blood Crystal Form is a painful 30-second transformation, −30 %; a fifth technique, Blood Iceberg, raises a blood temple; blood vials.
- The Alliance's arms: Snow Plum Jian, Azure Peak Spear, Rattan Shield.
- The Alliance Merchant and the silver tael, the Murim's money.
- The Alliance's soldiers: Spear Guard, Sword Disciple, Archer, Warrior Monk and Sergeant. Neutral like piglins, they garrison the outposts, patrol the Alliance's lands and wander the mountain roads.
- The first Alliance outpost, in the centre and on the frontiers, roofed in azure tiles.
- The five factions have their introduction, flags and logos; mock-ups of the Alliance's capital.
