Story
Jade City follows the Kaul family, a powerful clan within one of two rival factions vying for control of Kekon and its jade trade. Jade grants enhanced abilities to those with the right training and heritage, while a new drug expands access and destabilizes the balance of power.
As tensions rise, the story moves through clan politics, business interests, and street-level violence in a modernizing city. Multiple family members navigate leadership, loyalty, personal ambition, and shifting alliances while the rival clan presses for advantage.
The conflict escalates into open war, forcing characters and families to choose between honor, survival, and control of their future. The narrative emphasizes the costs of power, the pressure of legacy, and the uncertainty of what the conflict will leave behind.
