Legendary Creature · Wyrm — Ancient being of immense power and wisdom

Dragons are large, reptilian mythical creatures found in legends across both Eastern and Western cultures.

Their appearance, temperament, and significance vary widely between cultures.

Phoenix · Firebird — Legendary bird reborn from flames

The phoenix is a mythical bird symbolizing immortality and rebirth. According to legend, it dies in a burst of flames and rises anew from its own ashes. It appears in both Eastern and Western myths, representing eternal life and hope.

Longhorn Bison · Ancient plains giant — Massive grazer with elongated horns

The Longhorn Bison is inspired by the real prehistoric giant, the long-horned bison (Praebison antiquus). It was known for its imposing size and exceptionally long horns, roaming the grasslands of Eurasia and North America. Its tough hide and herding behavior made it both a challenge and a prize for early human hunters.

Legendary Creature — An unverified being with no historical record

Matia is not found in any historical records or folklore; it is not a known traditional or real-world creature in Korean or world history. There is no evidence for its existence in authentic historical or ethnological sources.

Naga · Serpent People — Mythical half-human, half-serpent beings

Nagas are legendary creatures found in the mythology of India and Southeast Asia, depicted as beings with a human upper body and a serpent lower body. Closely associated with water, they are sometimes revered as protectors and other times feared as dangerous spirits. Their role varies from divine guardians to adversaries.

Dragonfly · Agile Insect — Swift and skillful flyer

The dragonfly is a common insect found throughout East Asia, characterized by its elongated body and two pairs of transparent wings. It is known for its agile flight and is typically seen near wetlands, ponds, and rice paddies.

Peridini · Imaginary Creature — Not a Real Being

Peridin is a fantastical creature that does not actually exist. This term is not found in natural history, mythology, or folklore.

Giant Spider · Colossal Arachnid — Large predatory arthropod

The giant spider is an enormous arachnid, far larger than common spiders. Appearing in Eastern folklore and European legends, it dwells in dark forests, caves, or ruins. It hunts by ambush, wielding potent webs and venom as its primary weapons.

劍聖 · Sword Saint — A legendary realm reached at the absolute limit of swordsmanship

The highest-tier combat class that has honed swordsmanship to its extreme, freely wielding sword qi (劍氣) and sword aura (劍罡). Without using any magic, they unleash mage-level attacks through pure sword energy alone, earning the title of living legend. An incredibly rare attainment — only one or two exist in any given era.

幻術師 · Illusionist — A mage who erases the boundary between reality and illusion

A magical class that creates hallucinations and illusions to manipulate enemy perception. Rather than dealing direct damage, they are specialists in indirect combat — making enemies attack themselves, concealing allies, or turning the space itself into a labyrinth. Because the magic acts directly on the brain, it is difficult to resist.

封印師 · Sealer — A guardian of balance who seals danger and confines power

A magical class specializing in sealing powerful magical beasts, gods, curses, and forbidden powers. Their main role is neutralization, sealing, and purification rather than attack — an indispensable class when facing extreme entities like demon lords and ancient gods. They can also reverse the process, unleashing sealed power as combat strength.

Central Asian Curved Dagger · Nomad Warriors’ Weapon — A sleek, curved dagger favored by steppe warriors

The Scagimsha is a traditional curved dagger originating from Central Asia. It was primarily used by nomadic warriors for close combat, distinguished by its light weight and sweeping curve. The blade is effective for both slashing and thrusting.

Matchlock Firearm · Early Long Gun — Muzzle-Loaded Infantry Weapon

The musket is a muzzle-loaded firearm widely used from the late 16th to early 19th century by military forces. It fired lead projectiles using gunpowder and profoundly changed battlefield tactics. Its effective range and penetration surpassed that of most melee weapons of its era.

Hammer · Warhammer — Weapon of blunt force and utility

The hammer is a weapon made of metal or wood, featuring a heavy, flat striking head. It is primarily used to crush or break enemy armor and shields. Hammers were commonly used by warriors across medieval Europe and East Asia.

Curved Single-Edged Sword · Cavalry Blade — A classic cutting weapon

The saber is a curved, single-edged sword primarily designed for one-handed use. Renowned for its cutting power, it was widely utilized in cavalry and infantry throughout both Eastern and Western cultures. Most famously, it became a symbol of European cavalry in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Composite Bow · Multi-material Power — A powerful bow crafted from various materials

The composite bow is made by combining wood, horn, sinew, and sometimes other materials. Renowned for its superior elasticity and long range, it was particularly favored by mounted archers. Its moderate size and weight made it highly portable.

巫女 · Shrine Maiden — The Sacred Woman Who Bridges God and Humanity

A female religious figure who receives divine will, delivers prophecy, performs purification rites, and mediates between gods and humanity. In East Asian fantasy, the shrine maiden is a sacred being who serves at a shrine and is also a formidable warrior in her own right, wielding powerful spiritual energy. In Korean shamanism she manifests as the Mudang (shaman), and in Western fantasy as the Oracle or Sibyl. The shrine maiden's prophecies carry an absolute authority capable of altering the destiny of kings.

皇后 · Empress — The Empire's Other Sun

The emperor's consort (Empress Consort) or a woman who rules the empire in her own right (Empress Regnant). In Eastern courts, the empress commands the entire inner court and forms one of the two pillars of the empire alongside the emperor. Historical figures such as Wu Zetian of Tang China and Catherine the Great of Russia exercised power that in practice exceeded the emperor's own. In fantasy, the empress is often portrayed as an absolute ruler who moves the entire empire from behind a graceful facade.

王妃 · Queen Consort — The King's Lawful Wife, Mother of the Kingdom

The king's lawful wife. Though ranking below an empress, she holds the official position second only to the king within the kingdom. The queen consort is far more than a spouse — she co-presides over royal ceremonies, bears responsibility for the crown prince's education, and administers the consort hierarchy, exercising genuine domestic power. When the king is absent due to war or travel, she may serve as regent with full royal authority. In fantasy, the queen consort is variously interpreted as a beloved mother, a ruthless politician, or a sinister power broker who deals in poison.

太后 · Empress Dowager — The Hand That Moves the Empire from Behind the Current Emperor

The empress of the late emperor and the mother of the reigning emperor. She ranks above even the current empress in the official hierarchy, and during the reign of a young or incapable emperor she effectively governs the entire empire through regency — ruling from behind the screen. Historical figures like China's Empress Dowager Cixi and Rome's Agrippina the Younger wielded power that sometimes exceeded the emperor's. In fantasy, the empress dowager appears either as the true hidden mastermind or as a formidable patron who supports the protagonist.

貴妃 · Noble Consort — Second Only to the Empress, the Highest-Ranking Imperial Consort

The highest-ranking title among the imperial consorts, second only to the empress. Should the empress's position fall vacant or she become infirm, the noble consort effectively becomes head of the inner court. Though nominally ranked below the empress, a noble consort who monopolizes the emperor's favor often wields real power that surpasses the empress — measured by the time spent in the imperial bedchamber and the number of imperial sons she bears. Yang Guifei of the Tang dynasty is history's most celebrated Noble Consort; in fantasy, she stands at the center of an intense power struggle with the empress.

貢女 · Duke's Daughter / Tribute Lady — A Title with Two Faces

The term carries two entirely different meanings. ①**Duke's Daughter**: The daughter of a duke — a woman of the highest noble bloodline, near-royal in standing. The most elevated of all Young Ladies, she is a candidate for marriage to a prince or crown prince. ②**Tribute Lady**: A woman sent by a vassal state to a great power as a hostage, comfort figure, or diplomatic offering. The diametrically opposite meaning — in this case, the Gongnye is a political sacrifice. In fantasy, the two meanings are often intertwined to create a distinctive dramatic tension.
