Bloody Moon Tower

The long standing martial arts and magic school that has stood overlooking the low laying valley here in the mountain range.  The Bloody Moon Tower Sect, or as its called in the ancient tongue "Yuxue Yue" (血月), sits up in the same mountain range as the Shrine of the Seven Souls.  This old family clan and school is currently headed by Grand Master Yu with three lower masters who oversee a large number of prospering students.  The school itself accepts anyone who is willing to learn, but the first year of training is intensely rigorous and many students who come end up dropping out before completing this first year.  The school is divided into three sections; the Cultivation Arts Academy, the Martial Arts College, and the Science and Literature Arts Institute.  Each of these departments have their own headmaster, which is then overseen by a grand headmaster.

There has been a long standing rumor, or rather a sort of nursery rhyme type of tale passed down in the mountain valley about how the school was actually founded.  Those who have lived in the neighboring city below for generations still retain the belief that the original founder of the clan is still alive, having achieved either true immortality or was cursed by the Gods for reaching too far and thus imprisoned deep within the mountain in heavy seclusion, never to be seen again.  City children often sing the story of the Bloody Moon Tower's founder to each other to pass the time between studies.
