Yeng Tao temple has existed in almost complete secrecy for 1000s of thousands of years. Behind its ancients walls and on its vast training grounds some of most powerful warriors of the martial world have honed their craft to perfection. Its libaries hold stores of estoretic marital arts wisdom like the world has never seen. Fighting styles that no longer exist anywhere else can be found among its scrolls and libaries. The monks themselves maintain a strict neutrality in regards to the affrairs of the outside world. Anyone of sufficent skill and honor can come to the Temple and learn regardless of nationality, ethnic background or gender (though being from Imperial China the monks do have some interesting ideas about women) this, combined with fighting prowess of its occupants have maintained the Temple of peaceful seclusion for millennia, right into the modern era.
That peace was recently shattered when the demononligist Shang Fung and the criminal Shadowlaw Group descended on the temple along with a small army of soldiers and Fung's summoned demons. The battle was fierce but thee temples defenses were breached along enough for Fung to make his way into the inner sanctum and complete an infernal pact. As his demonic masters the Yama Kings had bid him the Sorcerer used his mystical skills to undo the Great Dragon Seal, an ancient artifact that sealed the Yama Kings in their demonic Hells. With the Seal broken, demons could now enter the Earth Realm. The invaders were repelled but not before they stolen several powerful relics and scrolls, Shadowlaw's wage for the assistance
This is where the player characters come in. Each of you, having just passed the traditional trials to enter the Temple arrive in that aftermath of this brutal attack. After being informed of the potential horrific consequences of the sorcerers actions and the power of the missing artifacts, the Monks humbly request the heroes regain the items and try to undo the damage that will result from the broken Seal while they attempt to repair it; thus the campaign begins
The setting is a modern day action movie/anime type world, but the character could be from others time and realms thanks to magic and the timeless "Xanadu" like nature of the temple.
