For centuries, the Quincunx has advocated its truths as absolute and without peer, destroying all those who would refute its ways. For centuries, however, a handful of dharmas have survived the Quincunx's tyranny, following belief structures alien to the Middle Kingdom.

Heresies of the Way also ties into Year of the Damned by presenting five dharmas that have sacrificed much for power - and survival.
