It seems like April showers bring May… Yetis! We haven’t done a Xueren release for over a year, and it’s high time we revisited these beefy mountain monastics. Way back when, we set up the story of two sisters who founded the two main factions of the Yetis, the evil Yu Huo Zong (Fiery Hell Sect), and Nan Tian Zong (Heavenly Gate Sect). These xanxia inspired Qi users are martial arts masters, and the sisters have gained immortal status through their respective techniques. We’ve already seen the vain and evil Libang Xian, but this month we’re finally seeing her sister and polar opposite, Libang Zhao. I haven’t officially written the history of their family, but their family name “Libang” roughly means “powerful scroll”, and it’s this historian’s belief that the Libang family kept safe the Scroll of Summoning now in Libang Xian’s possession. Her younger sister is the only person who has ever escaped being bound to the scroll, and continues to evade the Yu Huo Zong to avoid being captured and absorbed into it. Weifeng the Xueren Acolyte and Chongyang the Xueren Adept are part of the Nan Tian Zong founded by Libang Zhao, practicing Qi cultivation techniques to build their power rather than killing and absorbing it from their foes. We also have some of the creatures of the high mountains, the Xuehou Snow Goblins and the Qingling Shenzhong, Pure Spirit Bell Deity, who can be found wandering the snowy passes and peaks of the Qian Sheng Shan.

This month’s bases and terrain were sculpted by Kittifizz and Calrais as usual, with concepts by Paul Ferret. Our stats are a bit behind because I got sick in the middle of the month for a long time, but we’ll have our April stats formatted soon and start working on May.
