This Wushi Continent was home to powerful factions, and many of them held grudges against one another. Many would be formed due to disagreements among their ancestors and their opinions on one another would have been passed down throughout the eras, but while the factions disagreements could be part of their heritage, the clear dislike between the races was much more serious.
The beasts and the humans were equally powerful, but they would usually end up in conflict due to their identities. Many humans felt superior to beasts, as it was possible to contract them as a partner or even slave to follow the will of the human.
Due to this, they felt that even those beasts that had taken on human shape were nothing more than that. Even though the most powerful factions on the Wushi Continent contained a few beast clans, they were still not seen as important to the humans, and thus, a child that was of mixed breed was clearly an insult to any human.
