Yin

Among the four renowned members of Forsaken Light, one young man from the East stands out. Known as Yin, this simple and righteous martial artist sometimes exudes a sinister aura, creating a stark contrast that leaves many wary of him. Few know that his wild and violent behavior stems from the Evil God, Lieh, dwelling within him. He is the reason Yin left his home in the Cadia Riverlands—to hone himself in the Land of Dawn and find a way to defeat Lieh. But Yin's struggles in this foreign land have had the opposite effect; as a being that thrives on chaos, the more Yin fights, the faster Lieh can recover his power. Thus, Lieh began to impart his power to Yin, watching him sink deeper into madness with each act of righteousness and chivalry, and leading him toward the self-destruction Lieh desires. However, even knowing the risks, Yin continues to wield this power—because for him, abandoning his code and ignoring the suffering of others would make him no better than Lieh. Yin never backs down from a challenge, god or no god. For those who endured a lifetime of conflict and yearned for peace, the Floral Falls, hidden by mystical mechanisms, is a true utopia where the past is forgotten. But Yin's story is a little different—he arrived here before his life truly began. Many years ago, on a spring day, the hermits of the valley found a bamboo basket floating down the river. Had they not taken a closer look, they would have missed the baby inside who ever uttered a single sound. While the hermits felt sorry for the abandoned boy, he met the world's cruelty with cheerful laughter. Whoever sent him down the river left him with no name or identifiable keepsakes. Perhaps they knew the child would drift to this isolated sanctuary and purposely left no ties to the outside world? Either way, the boy's life started anew in the Floral Falls and he was given a name. In the spring breeze, the hermits named him Yin—to honor the start of the lunar year, when life begins anew. They also gave him a blessing—to always look forward, always look up, for each day is the start of something new. Yin lived up to the expectations placed upon him. Although growing up in the Floral Falls was not easy, Yin was able to learn many valuable lessons. The reclusive hermits, weary of the world's affairs, imparted not only their martial arts but also their code of chivalry to him. Yin was a diligent student, but the more obedient he was, the more concerned the hermits who raised him became. Unlike the other residents of Floral Falls, who had lived their lives and grown weary of the world, a boy should not be afraid to make mistakes. What use is one's fist if one has nothing to fight for? Without stumbling, how could one learn to stand firm? If one never holds onto anything, how can one learn to let go? But it was during this time, while practicing martial arts, that Yin encountered Wanwan of the Tang clan, who had come to explore this strange abode. For the first time, Yin met someone
