Mentioned in some earlier posts, Rootless Clan is 1 of the new special factions/ schools coming to Age of Wushu in China. Why “rootless”? Well, majority of the clan members are eunuchs serving in the palace, with a handful of retired powerful eunuchs and the rare ones still roaming outside the palace.
There are 3 ways which players can enter the Rootless Clan:
1. An invitation will automatically be sent to male characters who trained the Sunflower Manual till level 25
2. After being forcefully castrated by the clan’s Soul Breaking Formation (read below), there will be a small chance of a male character getting a chance to join the clan. Talking to the appropriate NPC will complete the quest
3. Through rare miracle quests, players may obtain a recommendation staff to enter the clan (must be castrated first before joining)
This will last 2 minutes, and during this time, there will be random “good” NPCs appearing to save the male character from being castrated. I guess other players can help as well, though it wasn’t mentioned. That is all for now, I am too lazy to translate all other details ^__^

"Members of the Rootless Clan can damage him till low health, and 5 of them can then begin the Soul Breaking Formation, which is used to castrate him."
this is not a debuff, or something that wares off....
as they progress, they become more feminine. More make up, and even movements. Straight killers though. They have to kill at certain times of the day in order to progress.
LOL you complain about personal attacks after saying the people who would enjoy this kind of feature are latent homosexuals?
Koreans are weird......
"hmmmmm whats missing from our game.. I know, Castration!"

Chinese rember the game is a historical depiction of early Ming era China, down to the actual city architecture.
After weeks of exposure to anime art styles, they just don't see any other way to End It All.
"Castration. Yes, please! Anything!"
Oderint, dum metuant.
They actually become queens.
Well on the plus side very hard to say its a WoW clone
Here's a low quality video, and link to a 168 post heated discussion. at around 2:40 after the beat down the process begins.
In the same game expansion, a castrated character can have his "family jewels" attached back by undergoing a procedure performed by members of the Golden Needle Clan (which function as a healing class in AoW ) although full details of the requirements of this procedure is not known yet.
It is part of the system of checks and balances in AoW...

Thank you Cname! I had no idea about the Golden Needle Clan. I only know of the Peach Blossom (think that's the name) Clan, who make masks that have different effects, and the Rootless Clan. What are the others?
Players will be given a better introduction of the schools and clans to help them to decide which group to join or remain independent.
Below is the screen for the Rootless clan. On the left side, note the 15 logos representing the 8 original schools, 6 clans and the clan-less:
There are a total of 6 new playable faction clans in the new Chinese AoW expansion (which can be translated as “Upheaval”). One can also play a school-less, non-faction clan affiliated character.
Note that joining certain faction clans would cause your character to be automatically marked as enemies by hostile NPC factions.
Out of the 6 faction clans, 3 are publicly known and 3 are “hidden”.
The three public clans are:
The three hidden clans have more stringent requirements for joining and their bases are not reachable by outsiders under normal circumstances:
Beside the new playable clans the Upheaval expansion also implemented a dynamic weather and day/night system and (at least for the Chinese version) added voice acting to some of the NPCs and cut-scenes.
I have posted a short trailer which gives a brief preview of the 6 new clans here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEHwtyUgocA
