Much of the mythos in Tian Wu Yan is loosely based off of ancient Chinese mythology as it was displayed across various time periods. This image depicts Chang'e, but I do not know the exact context of this picture. For me, I feel it is not strictly necessary given that this campaign is entirely personal.

If I am ever feeling down and lost, look to this spectacular meme to cheer me up. More often than I'd like, I take myself way too seriously which often results in ADHD-and-anxiety-fueled hypercritical spiraling. I am here to have fun and make sure my players have fun, and if at any moment I am not having fun, this is my reminder to step back, breathe, and laugh it off. Image by Maltose.
