The vast nation of Wushu Guan is divided into six regions, each governed by a council of representatives known as the Six Sects. These regions are:
* The Northern Forest Region, known for its vast, verdant forests and skilled warriors. Home to the School of iron fist.
* The Eastern Seaside Region, with its vast coastline and powerful water kinesis. Home to Phoenix Academy.
* The Southern Desert Region, where the harsh desert landscape breeds resilient warriors.
* The Western Mountain Region, home to the elite Golden Legion and the Emperor's court.
In the center of Wushu Guan, there is the Imperial Capital of Xin-Lu, a city of grandeur and political intrigue. Here, the Wushizu Palace is surrounded by the lush Imperial Gardens, a sanctuary of beauty and tradition.
It is within these gardens that the Three Martial Arts Academies - The Phoenix Academy, The Elite Golden Academy, The School Of Iron Fists- were established. The academies serve as centers of learning for the ancient art of Wushu, training the elite warriors of each region in the ways of discipline, honor, and strength.
* The School of Iron Fist: Governed in the Northern Forest Region by a fierce warrior named Jia Zino, this academy is known for its practitioners of "Pai Gu Quan" (White Bone Fist), a powerful martial art that mimics the movements of a savage tiger. The School of Iron Fist places a strong emphasis on strength and ferocity, training its students to be as fierce as a wild beast.
* Phoenix Academy: Located in the Eastern Seaside Region, the Phoenix Academy was founded by a disgraced royal named Sophia Kuosho. Exiled for her fiery nature and refusal to back down from the Emperor's edicts, Xue Bing established this academy to teach the ways of "Hong Yan Quan" (Phoenix Fist), a graceful yet lethal martial art inspired by the mythical Phoenix. The academy's dominated by Tokugawa clan warriors and their philosophy centers on resilience and rebirth, with students learning to harness the flames of their inner strength.
* Golden Elite Academy: Established by General Fei Hanzo, a high-ranking member of the Emperor's Golden Legion and Hanzo clan's recent leader (Lei's Father), this academy is situated in the Western Mountain Region, within sight of the Imperial Palace itself. The Golden Elite Academy draws its name from the fact that only the most talented and noble-born warriors are allowed to enroll. The students are taught the ways of "Jin Xiu Quan" (Golden Fist), a deadly fighting style known for its precise strikes and lightning-fast reflexes.
