Xianxia is a province in Jingdao. Its home to two important groups of people: one being the descendants of prisoners, who were sent to re-education camps in its vast wilderness since the early days of the reign of the Danya Emperor (1637 AN), and the followers of the Seishin Order. The last one received can count on a large amount of goodwill among the Jingdaoese civil and military authorities. The order, which was established with the blessing of the Mingshi Emperor, and still follows several of His teachings, grew in numbers and influence throughout the 17th century. The group, guided by a seishinso, who acts as spiritual leader had even sought the support of the Heavenly Court on several occasions to "spiritually and politically guide the province and its inhabitants in the absence of the Heavenly Light Himself".
The monks of Seishin live in the abbeys, which are spread accross Xianxia. Most important towns, and every city, has a monastery, which are in charge of huge chunks of land. The local economy is therefore reliant on the goodwill of the religious order. Its inhabitants are not only seen as the most faithful worshippers of the Tianchaodao, but believe that the Heavenly Light has granted the monks the spiritual power to interact with the lesser spirits which dwell the mountain ranges, forests and swamps.
