Yue, in his time, united the fractious factions of his land and formed the Yuen Dynasty for which he ruled as divine scholar for a period of time that alleged to have lasted for one thousand years.

At some point, history becomes vague of the Yuen Dynasty in an era of power struggles and civil war to which ended in the rise and formation of the Thousand Yue; A group of 1,000 scholars each claiming to be a reincarnated fragment of the great scholar and each having a vocation and mastery of the rumored thousand masteries of Yue's thousand lessons ranging from poetry to warfare.

The Thousand Scholars as they would call themselves ruled over the former territories of the Yuen Dynasty in a rotating parliament that only included a thousand scholars.

When one of the thousand scholars would die, a new reincarnation would be chosen from among the masses by special censors who traveled the lands searching for the new incarnation of the scholar. The selection process has unconfirmed rumors of heavy drug use, abuse, torture, sexual abuse, and tests to deduce through unknown parameters the new scholar but are rarely anything as simple as questions or harmless testing that have resulted in the death of many candidates.

Despite this dark shadow, the Yuen are proud people who value knowledge, mysticism, and curiosity.
