Wiki hub
Scroll of Taiwu Wiki
A fast English index for the pages players open while learning The Scroll of Taiwu: factions, martial arts, builds, terminology, and practical first-run tools.
The site is organized around the questions new English players repeatedly ask after the 1.0 launch: which sect should I join, why does the version number look unusual, how do injuries and inner arts work, what changed from Early Access, and which Chinese terms do older guides refer to? This hub keeps those answers close together so a player can move from a short lookup into a full guide without landing on unrelated search pages.
