Kausao City is vast and corrupt and the one source of the magical black jade. The people slave away under the oppressive rule of the Council, who only care about riches and power. You belong to the Jianghu, a loose organisation standing up against oppression and injustice. Word has reached the Jianghu of an underground martial arts and sporting tournament, with the grand prize of a legendary rod of black jade- a symbol of freedom with unknown mystic powers. Long believed to be in the hands of the Council, the tournament is surely a trap- but the bait is too much to resist, and surely one skilled and cunning can spring the trap from within.
