People of the Jianghu love their rhymes.
The Wulin has long had the saying "one gang, three families, six great sects," passed down for a hundred years and still true today. As the ages turn and the stars shift, Jianghu sects rise and fall, and the honored name of the Six Great Sects changes hands again and again.
Only the Beggar Sect endures forever; even the Imperial Court sending troops to besiege them cannot wipe them out.
Three Great Families
Jianghu folk say: Shangguan Shangzhi, Nangong Shangren, and the Tang Clan's devotion to valor—each family has its own tale of praise.
Six Great Sects
Great Gangs
Evil Organizations
Palaces and Towers

In-game World Map
The map shown during travel scenes in the story. The base art is the same as the Jianghu Travel Map at the top of this page; the place names are placed with the same position, size and vertical writing as in the game.

The place names differ from the Jianghu Travel Map as follows:
- Only on the Jianghu Travel Map: Luoyang, Chang'an, Chengdu, Lin'an, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Shangguan, Nangong
- Only on the in-game map: Snow Mountain, Jiangling Prefecture, Fujian
- The large walled city at the eastern end is labeled "Lin'an" on the Jianghu Travel Map and "Jiangling Prefecture" on the in-game map.
The game's map data also contains the routes (red lines) and stops (circles) used in travel scenes. The 13 red circles are the Tang Clan, Jiangling, Jinxiang Palace, Diancang, Qingcheng, Snow Mountain, Kongtong, Quanzhen, Six Paths Gorge, Songshan, Emei, Xiangyang and Woyun Ridge; the white circles are points along the routes. Woyun Ridge has a stop but no place-name label.

In 2021, the official released a faction relationship chart, although many settings have changed since then, it still provides a glimpse of the original settings.
