===Eight Mountain Sect===
'''Concept''': The guardians of Daoist orthodoxy in Shen Zhou, and ideological bulwarks of the Xin Dynasty.<br>
Tracing their lineage back to the legendary Lonely Apostle, the Eight Mountain Sect has been tied from the outset to the fortunes of the Xin Dynasty.  Their Daoism eschews the practice of alchemy, and concerns itself more with ritual practice than philosophical reflection.  The Sect is notoriously intolerant of other philosophies, and have many enemies among Buddhists and eccentric Daoists for that reason.<br>
'''Virtues''': Righteousness (Yi), Daoism<br>

'''Secrets of Destiny: Eight Mountain Sect'''
*'''3+ Status''': You are a member of the Eight Mountain Sect.
*'''0 Bonus''': You have a -2 Destiny discount to purchase the '''Daoism''' Loresheet.


'''Secrets of Destiny: Eight Mountain Sect Kung Fu'''
*'''0 Bonus''': You have a -2 Destiny discount when purchasing one of the following as a secondary External Style: Destiny Cloud Fist, Flowing Universe, or Immortals' Supreme Boxing
*'''0 Bonus''': If you are a member of the Eight Mountain Sect, you probably have Breath of the Yellow Emperor as your Internal Style. You may learn all its techniques, rather than one per level.
*'''2 Technique''': You have mastered the '''Entangling Fists''' technique.  The purity of your Chi allows you to make your hands and feet seem to come at your opponents from all directions at once. Fighting Unarmed now also counts as fighting with a Flexible weapon. This allows you to combine the bonuses of both types of weapons and to combine different styles. If you know multiple Techniques that improve your Unarmed fighting, you may only use one at a time; you must choose at the start of each round.

Sect members with Yellow Emperor's Breath may learn the following Techniques:

*'''5 Technique''': Dark Cloud Judgment 
**If you are in Destiny Cloud Fist stance and use Mountain-Leaping Step, you may spend one more Chi for Lightfoot than your Rank would normally allow.
**If you are in Destiny Cloud Fist stance and use Pure Air Punishment, you attack causes Ripples as normal in addition to the penalties for respiring or using Corrupt Chi.

*'''5 Technique''': Master of Breath
**If you are in Flowing Universe stance and use Suffocating Blow, you may 'stack' a second Breath Disrupt condition on the same opponent to lower his normal Chi respiration by 2.
**If you are in Flowing Universe stance and use Balance Through Excess, you have a +15 rather than +10 bonus to your Minor Action.

*'''5 Technique''': Disciple of Huangdi
**If you are in Immortals' Supreme Boxing stance and use Pure Chi Armor, your bonus on Chi Aura rolls against energy attacks increases to +15.
**If you are in Immortals' Supreme Boxing stance and use Huangdi's Method, the cost of extending the technique is 1 Chi for the first and second rounds, 2 Chi for the third and fourth, etc.

'''The Minders of the Way'''<br>
During the days of the Great Proscription, the forces of strident orthodoxy within the Sect created a separate arm dedicated to rooting out and destroying anything that threatened the hegemony of Eight Mountain Daoism.  By the time the Proscription was repealed during the Regency, practically any departure from the proclamations of the Chief Abbot was considered a 'threat'.  Though they no longer have access to the Liquid Metal Delegates to carry out their dirty work, the Minders have not yet been disbanded; their plain brown robes with yellow piping are an all too familiar sight among those whom the Minders find unorthodox.
*'''0/5 Disadvantage''': You have been judged an '''Apostate''' by the Minders of the Way; in some respect, you have fallen short of the standards of orthodoxy, and must now suffer their constant remonstration.  Unrepentant apostasy may lead to more severe consequences than that.  Gain one additional Destiny in any Chapter where this apostasy causes you significant trouble.
*'''2+ Involvement''': The Minders inflicted all manner of injury upon the unorthodox during the Great Proscription; though it has been more than a decade since its repeal, the memories of harm are still fresh in the minds of many.  (Those outside the Eight Mountain Sect may purchase this option without buying the Sect Lore.)
**'''3 Fortune''': You bear an overpowering grudge toward the Minders of the Way; work with your Sage to design a Paired Chi Condition that grants a Hyperactivity when directly and openly acting against them, and a Weakness when you act more subtly (or forego action altogether).
