The living story
The story so far
The Blockhead Fiend: human face, tiger feet, boar tusks, stubborn as bedrock — the Classic's monument to everyone who has ever refused to learn anything. One of the Four Fiends, and the one the other three find embarrassing. He has been wrong about everything for three thousand years and has never once reconsidered.
Happening now
He is standing exactly where he has always stood, thinking exactly what he has always thought, while the world rearranges itself around him. The world is used to it.
What may come
One day the world will rearrange itself into exactly the shape Taowu always said it was — by sheer coincidence, after three thousand years of being wrong — and he will nod, once, with enormous satisfaction. The other fiends will never let him forget it. He will never notice.

The Shanhai Wilds
The old bestiary, personified: nine-tailed foxes, torch dragons, the faceless dancer Hundun, the rain-bringing Yinglong, the white sage-beast Baize. Every strange thing about them is in the ancient books — nothing made up.
