- 
-Set during the **Ming Dynasty** period of China (also known simply as **the Land**), Nine Dragons draws deeply from the **wuxia** genre of fiction. Wuxia tales feature martial arts masters who utilize secret kung fu techniques with such skill that they can transcend the limits of mortality and physics. Heroes and villains of wuxia tales were known to make leaps of such height that they resembled soaring birds, shrug off even mortal wounds, disable or kill an opponent with a single touch, or even transcend the limits of life and death to become truly immortal. 
- 
-"​Wuxia"​ literally translates to "​martial/​armed hero," and the protagonists of wuxia tales were often heroic in every sense of the word. They fought for honor and duty, above personal gain. They earned respect through deeds, not birth or ill-gotten wealth. ​ 
- 
-Wuxia heroes and villains attained mastery over their **chi** (or **qi**), their life energy, in order to cultivate it to incredible levels, and channel it into superhuman feats, or even as pure destructive force. The practice of growing and managing one's chi is known as **qigong**.
