About
軒轅劍外傳: 雲之遙 (Chinese) The Clouds Faraway, also set in the era of the Three Kingdoms, is presented with a contrasting viewpoint to the Han Clouds. The main character, Xu Muyun (徐暮雲), was adopted by Xu Shu and raised in the Kingdom of Wei. Muyun grew up with his childhood friends Lanyin (蘭茵) and Zhang Gao (張誥) in the house of Zhang He, and the three youngsters vowed to fight for their homeland and bring about prosperous days together. Through his journey, Muyun came to a new level of maturity, learned of his true identity, realized the meaning of duty and friendship, and witnessed the ruthlessness of war. The story is continued after the main game in three DLC chapters, released to enrich the story. These three chapters are: The Chapter of Wuzhang Plains: Muyun (Chinese: 五丈原暮雲篇), The Chapter of Wuzhang Plains: Zhaoyun (Chinese: 五丈原朝雲篇), and the lengthy and critically acclaimed Chapter of Lan Yin (Chinese: 蘭茵篇).
