Who Are the Pillars of Kunlun?Senior Sister Yuyin, Second Brother Huangxing, and Junior Brother Moji of the Kunlun Sect are known together as the Three Pillars of Kunlun.
The three are evenly matched in martial prowess, but each has a distinct temperament. Yuyin is fierce and strong-willed, Huangxing is quiet and reserved, while Moji is gentle and easygoing. Those in the Wulin regard Yuyin with reverence, Huangxing with fear, and Moji with great affection and support.
The Three Pillars of Kunlun were once a mainstay of the Mandate in the Ye Town region and enjoyed great renown. After the Maskwalker uprising broke out, the Mandate specifically dispatched the three here to rally the weaker sects nearby, join forces with them to eliminate the remaining Maskwalkers, and safeguard the peace of the Wulin.
Comments on the Pillars of KunlunMaster Yuyin is renowned for both her exceptional martial prowess and her noble character. She also possesses a gentle and compassionate heart, and often takes orphaned girls into her care, not to push them toward martial mastery, but simply to give them a place of peace and safety.
Master Huangxing is a man of few words and decisive action. He once entered a Maskwalker stronghold alone and did not return for several days. When he finally did, he brought back the heads of several formidable foes.
Master Moji is equally accomplished with the pen and the sword, a true gentleman with a gift for resolving disputes. No matter how tangled the grudges of the martial world become, he always finds a way of turning hostility into reconciliation.
Joint Operation PlanThe Village of Lu has now been occupied by Maskwalkers, though some villagers are still hiding in cellars and abandoned houses. The Maskwalkers are violent and unpredictable. If we engage them inside the village, innocent lives may be lost.
The best course is to set an ambush in the woods to the southwest and lure the enemy out of the village. Once their forces are drawn into the forest and spread thin, we can defeat them one by one.
Mandate DecreeTo all fellow of the Wulin:
The Maskwalkers have ravaged the eastern lands, bringing suffering to countless lives. Their crimes are beyond measure, and their eradication cannot be delayed.
The Mandate hereby appoints Yuyin of the Kunlun Sect as Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Wulin. From this day forth, she shall command the elite heroes of all sects and hold full authority over all matters concerning the eradication of the Maskwalkers.
May Yuyin rise to this duty, lead the gathered heroes in cleansing the path of evil, and restore peace to the Wulin once more.
Issued hereby
The Mandate, Lingyun Nine Seats (Seal)
Map of the Mandate's Encampment Defenses[This appears to be a diagram detailing the Mandate Encampment's meticulously planned defenses.
Defensive fortifications are arranged along both sides of the road before the encampment, turning the mountain into a fortified gateway. Two arrow towers rise above the main gate, overlooking the battlefield. Blade-and-shield barricades, traps, and fortified checkpoints cover the encampment and its surroundings, creating a formidable defensive position.]
Letter to the Six SectsWith the Maskwalkers running rampant and the Wulin hanging by a thread, we six sects, long its mainstay, must set aside our sectarian differences, complement one another’s skills, and stand together in honor.
If we unite the strength of our sects and the chivalrous spirit of the righteous path, the forces of evil will find no opening to exploit, and peace shall surely return to the Wulin!

Notes on a Music ScoreI happened upon an incomplete score left by those who came before. Its slow passages are plaintive, almost like weeping. Yet the Wulin is free and unrestrained, and such a slow tune can hardly capture its bold spirit. Better to rearrange the old score, quicken the rhythm, and give it more rise and fall. I seek neither refinement nor novelty, only the thrill of it.
A Disciple's LetterTo our Esteemed Master,
We have laid out defenses in and around the main camp. Please, Master, do not be distracted or worry about matters in the rear.
We only wish that in this joint campaign with the Order, Master will win victory from the very start, clear away the evil, and return in triumph to us soon!
Respectfully,
Your Disciples
Call to ArmsThe three of us owe everything to our sect's teachings and the hopes placed in us by the righteous path. We are equally moved by the united efforts of the many sects, the heroes who have traveled a thousand miles to aid us, and the countless common people who have risen against tyranny. We hereby swear:
We will exhaust every ounce of our strength to overcome evil with righteousness. Until the Maskwalkers are destroyed, we will not rest! Let all present bear witness, and let Heaven and Earth attest to our oath!
Written jointly by Yuyin, Huangxing, and Moji
