===The Birthplace Of Doman Geomancy===
Chiseled into the great wall which cuts across the plains of Yanxia, between two of the Dairyu Moon Gates, is the visage of Ganen, the legendary hero who united Doma. The first king of the new kingdom was not only a military genius, but also a master geomancer, and after his death this royal mausoleum became a holy site to which his disciples would make pilgrimage. Even from Hingashi and beyond, academics and monks would come to gather at what is known as the birthplace of Doman geomancy.
Such scholarly congregations were dispersed by the invading Empire. Deeming the near-deified Ganen a potential primal threat, the imperial viceroy of Doma ordered the king’s tomb sealed shut. The geomancers' place of study was abandoned, and the Swallow’s Compass fell into disrepair.
===Qitian Dasheng===
As with others of his ilk, this simian auspice gained divine might after enduring a millennium of life. Qitian Dasheng, whose title means “Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal,” dwells in the Swallow's Compass to prevent his master's creation—the tamate-bako of geomancy—from, falling into unscrupulous hands.
===Daidarabotchi===
Described in ancient legend, these gargantuan entities are said to be the creators of mountains or lakes. Pronunciation differs slightly by region, with minor variations such as “deidarabotchi.” But whatever the name given, attempts by a succession of occultists to bring this legendary being to life has resulted in the conception of countless abominations. The Swallow's Compass geomancers, too, appeared unable to resist creating their own watery behemoth.
===More===
The art of geomancy, with its command over wind , earth , and water , can be employed as a method for constructing Tenkonto. Some few geomancers of the Swallow's Compass were capable of building the teleportation devices without the guidance of the Onishishu , but the knowl edge of their techniques is now all but lost.

Chiseled into the great wall which cuts across the plains of Yanxia, between two of the Dairyu Moon Gates, is the visage of Ganen, the legendary hero who united Doma. The first king of the new kingdom was not only a military genius, but also the founder of geomancy, and so after his death this royal mausoleum became a holy place to which his disciples would make pilgrimage. Alas, following the imperial invasion, it was abandoned and fell into disrepair, and none can say for certain what dangers lie within. Regardless, if Soroban's rigorous training under Genbu is to continue, you and your comrades must venture into these hallowed halls and obtain the tamate-bako of geomancy, an ancient relic with the power to manipulate time itself...

  • Daidarabotchi is gathering aetherial energy...: Daidarabotchi will raise one of its arms and slam it down on the ground. Getting hit by this will result in medium damage and one (1) debuff stack of Vulnerability Up icon1.png Vulnerability Up. It is suggested to stand on its other side.
  • The Land take You, Claim You!: AOE that will follow the marked player.
  • Swallow You, Consume You!: Daidarabotchi will hit the ground with its fist and create a circular, persistent AOE (a shimmering lake) around the centre of the area. That lake will grow over time and will cover ca. 75% of the area but will disappear again after some time.
  • Mountain Falls : Blue AOE with a blue water drop on top around a player. Will deal damage after a short while.

Aggressive difficulty r6.png Qitian Dasheng

Abilities

  • The Short End: Tankbuster.
  • Both Ends.png  Both Ends: This ability has two flavours.
    • The first will be signified by the normal weapon, raised. It will create a medium AOE around Qitian Dasheng. Getting hit by this AOE will knock the player back into the bluish outer ring. This debuff area will apply Bleeding and one (1) stack of Vulnerability Up icon1.png Vulnerability Up.
    • The second will be signified by an enlarged weapon with electric current on it, lowered. It will do the same, but with a safe zone near Qitian Dasheng.
    • In short: Normal weapon - stay away from the boss. Enlarged, electrified weapon - stay near the boss.
  • Mount Huaguo: Area wide medium AOE.
  • Monkey Magicks: ADD phase. Kill all Servant of the Sage before the Monkey Magicks meter is fully charged.
  • Second Heaven: Ultimate, after Monkey Magicks meter is fully charged or all Servant of the Sage are killed. The amount of damage done depends on the level of the charge of the Monkey Magicks meter.
  • Splitting Hairs: Qitian Dasheng splits in two Shadow of the Sage. Both mobs must be killed to end the fight. If only one is killed, the remaining will split again. It is suggested to damage both equally and kill them in very short succession, so a to avoid another split.

ADD

  • Servant of the Sage: Spawn during Monkey Magicks phase. Frequently use an AOE.
  • Shadow of the Sage: Two lesser copies of Qitian Dasheng. Both must be killed. Both retain the abilities or the original Qitian Dasheng. Note, that those copies share the health pool of the original Qitian Dasheng. That is, the health of the copies will drop according to the damage dealt.

The Birthplace Of Doman Geomancy

Chiseled into the great wall which cuts across the plains of Yanxia, between two of the Dairyu Moon Gates, is the visage of Ganen, the legendary hero who united Doma. The first king of the new kingdom was not only a military genius, but also a master geomancer, and after his death this royal mausoleum became a holy site to which his disciples would make pilgrimage. Even from Hingashi and beyond, academics and monks would come to gather at what is known as the birthplace of Doman geomancy.

Such scholarly congregations were dispersed by the invading Empire. Deeming the near-deified Ganen a potential primal threat, the imperial viceroy of Doma ordered the king’s tomb sealed shut. The geomancers' place of study was abandoned, and the Swallow’s Compass fell into disrepair.

Qitian Dasheng

As with others of his ilk, this simian auspice gained divine might after enduring a millennium of life. Qitian Dasheng, whose title means “Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal,” dwells in the Swallow's Compass to prevent his master's creation—the tamate-bako of geomancy—from, falling into unscrupulous hands.

Daidarabotchi

Described in ancient legend, these gargantuan entities are said to be the creators of mountains or lakes. Pronunciation differs slightly by region, with minor variations such as “deidarabotchi.” But whatever the name given, attempts by a succession of occultists to bring this legendary being to life has resulted in the conception of countless abominations. The Swallow's Compass geomancers, too, appeared unable to resist creating their own watery behemoth.

More

The art of geomancy, with its command over wind , earth , and water , can be employed as a method for constructing Tenkonto. Some few geomancers of the Swallow's Compass were capable of building the teleportation devices without the guidance of the Onishishu , but the knowl edge of their techniques is now all but lost.
