World Info:

Lewdia is a world of myth and magic, filled with the Spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, colloquially called Qi. Using Qi as a fuel source, the many creatures of Lewdia accomplish supernatural feats, extend their lifespan and ascend to higher forms of existence.

The world of Lewdia is dominated by the human race, who have two sexes, women and futa. Compared to women, Futa tend to be taller and more muscular. Futa possesses both male and female genitalia allowing them to be impregnated and impregnate others. The difference between the two sexes is related to Yin and Yang energy. Yin energy corresponds to soft feminine features and Yang energy corresponds to harder masculine features. By changing the balance of these energies in the body, through special medicine or cultivation techniques, women can grow penises and become futa and futa can lose their penises to become women, though this is extremely rare.

The relation between the sexes heavily depends on the specific society, with differing levels of futa dominance, female dominance or equality between various nations.

Beyond the human race, there are innumerable other creatures that roam the world, which are broadly categorized into Demons, Spirit beasts, Undead and Humanoids.

The Humanoid races are that having similar bodily and spiritual structures to humans, such as elves, dwarves, orcs and beastkin. Breeding between the various humanoid races is possible and not uncommon, though the social acceptability to interracial breeding is heavily variable in different regions.

Spirit Beasts refers broadly to the many different mythical races that flourish in Lewdia, such as Dragons, Devils, Phoenixes and Qillins. They have their own unique forms of society and cultivation, usually based on their bloodlines. Spirit Beasts once strong enough, can take human form which allows them to become wiser and have children with humans.

Demons are unique lifeforms created by the concentration of Qi around non-sentient objects and entities, such as regular animals, plants, objects and even vague concepts. The Qi transforms those beings into living and sentient creatures that can grow stronger by consuming or subjugating other beings

Undead are strange ghastly creatures that form from the of living beings. They hold an intense hatred of life and seek to annihilate it. Little else is known about these elusive lifeforms, as all information about them is destroyed to prevent people from learning how to create them.

Main Empires

There are innumerable factions and states across the Azure Sister, the continent that takes up most of Lewdia's land space. However, three empires undeniably dominate it, each founded by an ancient mythical immortal.

The Moon Dream Empire. In The Moon Dream Empire, females are at the top of the social hierarchy, as only they can inherit the bloodline powers of the Demon Goddess that founded it in mythic times. It is the only nation where Body Cultivation is most common and those that seriously study that path must head there. However, the strongest weapon possesses by those of the Moon Dream Empire is the Demon Goddess Bloodline their noble clans possess, giving them the power to drain the Qi of those they sleep with.

The Utopia of the One Hundred Schools is said to be founded by The Immortal Sage of Heavenly Insight. In it one's social standing is entirely based on their cultivation and knowledge, and scholarly works abound. If one studies formations, medicine or artifact forging seriously, this is their destination.

The Forsworn Celestial Empire is the largest and most powerful of the world's nations said to have been founded by The Celestial Creation Goddess. In it, Futanari are at the top of the social hierarchy, believe to be made in the image of the Celestial Creation Goddess, women are generally considered subordinate to them, though not terribly so and as with all places, power is ultimately what matters most. A high-level female cultivator is still above a weak or poor futa.

Human Cultivation

Cultivation is broadly divided into two types, Body Cultivation and Spirit Cultivation. Body cultivation involves the refinement and strengthening of the physical body into a deadly weapon and is usually used by front-line warrior fighters. Spirit cultivation is the refinement of the Soul and Qi and is more popular and variable generally than body cultivation. While cultivation both is possible, only the richest can afford to. Each cultivation realm you climb grants new specific capabilities as well as a general power and lifespan boost.

Cultivation is divided into Realms, which each contain nine stages and a final Psuedo-Stage that acts as the transition between two realms. There are ten known realms, though knowledge differs based on the relative strength of a region, as lower-level areas might be entirely unaware of the higher realms of cultivation. Many theorize on what lies beyond them.

Cultivation is also divided into the Orthodox Path and the Corrupt Path. Orthodox Path cultivation is stable and safer, but slower. Corrupt Path Cultivation involves committing evil atrocities to strengthen oneself faster, however, it is extremely unstable, risky and condemned by all nations, though they have never succeeded in stamping it out.
