The influence of the Divine Sword Sect radiates across three states and twelve counties, including the eight counties of Sword State, the three counties of Xuanzhou, and the lone county of Taiping County in Ming State.
Though it claims peace by name, Taiping County is anything but peaceful.
Due to its many mountains and steep ridges, it has historically been a land of destitution and treacherous terrain, with a fierce local populace and banditry widespread.
Over a thousand years ago, the unrest of the Taiping Sect originated in Taiping County, eventually leading to the downfall of the former Dayan Dynasty and the rise of the Dachang Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Dachang Dynasty, to thoroughly eradicate the roots of the Taiping Sect, they adopted a strategy of population replacement—relocating the remaining populace to other major provinces and migrating a large number of outsiders from neighboring states and counties.
