ZHB2:The Wulin Schools
The WulinSchools of Zhen Zhou City
Well, of course there are kung fu high schools - you couldn´t reasonably stage an anime-inspired LotW game without them, could you? As you might have surmised from the background material thus far, Shen Zhou City is not really a modern city the way we think about it - it is simply a different backdrop for the old Wuxia themes. Every old wuxia/kung fu movie has rivalling schools with their own secret techniques, and this is also true here - it is, after all, a city that encompasses everything we think of as the mythic-China of Shen Zhou.

The Black Crane School[edit]
After the great disaster - the event that saw many wulin schools, small and large, get eradicated through coordinated bomb attacks set by unknown villains - many homeless tudents were swept up by the remaining Great Two - the Tiger and the Dragon. Some people, for various reasons of their own, didn´t want to bend knee to these established powerhouses - and through this act of defiance, the Black Crane school was born! Claiming the place as a Great School in place of the destroyed Vermillion Phoenix School, it has managed to claw itself into a position of relative fame and influence.
The Jade Dragon School[edit]
The Jade Dragon used to be an all-girls school, run behind the scenes (though perhaps not entirely in secret) by the Resplendent Phenix Society, working for the betterment of women in the Wulin and SZ City at large. Recently, though, and seemingly by clerical error they have become much more gender-mixed. Coming from a long tradition of honor and martial excellency, the Jade Dragon even has the Emperor´s daughter among their students.
The Scarlet Tiger School[edit]
The Scarlet Tiger is based on power - their student body includes a disproportional amount of the children of wealthy and influential warriors and Clan leaders. Known for their immense pride as well as their hereditary sword-arts, the Scarlet Tiger is more than ready to challenge anyone in the Wulin and the Jiang Hu.
White Turtle School[edit]
Little is yet known about this mystery of a school - whose existence was a well-kept secret until just recently...
