Oh, the Taegeuk system I believe is used across all 9 kwans, or schools, of traditional Taekwondo after it evolved from its grandfather art, Taekkyon. From what I understand, the five original schools were: 

• Song Moo Kwan, founded by Shotokan practitioner Ro Byung- jik in 1944
• Chung Do Kwan, also founded by a Shotokan practitioner in 1944, Lee Won-kyuk
• Moo Duk Kwan, founded by Hwang Kee in 1946, who had practiced Taekkyon and Tai Chi as well as some Kung Fu 
• Chang Moo Kwan, founded in 1946 by Kung Fu practitioner Yoon Byung-in
• Jidokwan, founded in 1946 by Chun Sang-sup, a Shotokan practitioner who trained with Yoon Byung-in so much they were called brothers.

After the Korean War, 4 more kwans were added:

• Han Moo Kwan, Founded in August 1954 by Lee Kyo Yoon as an offshoot of the Yun Moo Kwan/Jidokwan.
• Oh Do Kwan, Founded in 1955 by Choi Hong Hi, Nam Tae Hi, and Han Cha Kyo as an offshoot of the Chung Do Kwan.
• Kang Duk Kwan, Founded in 1956 by Park Chul Hee and Hong Jong Pyo as an offshoot of the Kwon Bop Bu/Chang Moo Kwan.
• Jung Do Kwan,Founded in 1956 by Lee Yong Woo (died August, 2006) as an offshoot of the Chung Do Kwan.

And then, of course, you have ITF Taekwondo, founded in 1966, which I have an extremely low opinion of. Blame Hwoarang from Tekken for this. His hands are all over the place like some braindead ballerina. Baek Doo San, also from Tekken, uses Moo Duk Kwan, and his techniques are SO much more crisp. 

Now, I could be wrong about this, but I believe all nine kwans use the Taegeuk system. So Taegeuk Iljang I THINK should be the first form you learn in any of these styles. They used to use the Palgwae forms for the colored belts in the original five kwans, but when more kwans joined the organization, they were considered deprecated and created the Taegeuk forms to better represent input from all kwans. My school still made black belts learn the Palgwae forms starting at 2nd Dan in addition to the black belt forms. 

It might be worth asking your master or anyone who might know which kwan your lineage follows!

And the scene I'm referencing was a scene when Aurum was practicing 2nd Dan Form Keumgang. That was taken out in the 1.0 version of the game. I was curious as to where I had left mention of the Taegeuk forms in the game because I thought it was in that scene, which shouldn't be in the game anymore lol

Would love to have ya in the Discord if ya have one! I'm much more responsive there.
