Editing The Dragon Emperor (section)

==Backstory==
The Dragon Emperor was around before, well, anything was around on the planet really. Back when the world was further away from the sun and was a frozen shithole, he was one of the most powerful creatures on the planet living alongside other Eastern Dragons, the Dragons that would eventually join forces with the [[High Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|Elves]] of Ulthuan and the [[Dragon Ogres]]. Then the [[Old Ones (Warhammer)|Old Ones]] came, terraformed the planet, populated it with all kinds of different races and if you asked Big D, was the reason Chaos got released upon the world. While most of the other primordial beings at this point decided to take a nap until things got better, The Dragon Emperor and his wife The Moon Empress decided to stick around and see if there were any opportunities in this new world.

The race that interested the Dragons the most was humanity, and when Big D learned to shapeshift himself into a human he gathered numerous human tribes in the area that would later become Cathay under his banner. Together along with his children who were being born around this time and some implied help from the Ogres, they were able to hold off the Chaos advance in Cathay until the Elves were able to use the Vortex to flush the Daemons away like the aftermath of a bad Taco Bell dinner. Once the hordes were handled construction began on the Great Bastion, a massive wall with a portion of the Dragon Emperor's will in it to keep the Chaos Wastes away. The wall was powered greatly from the Emperor's power, but if it were to ever be completely destroyed he would die along with it.

Once the wall was complete he sent his five remaining children (the other four died and/or got corrupted by Chaos and/or fucked off somewhere) to manage the various realms of his new empire and aside from one incident where he decided to nuke the Ogres with a giant meteor for the crime of eating children, became the ruler of Cathay and began to teach it's populace the way of Harmony. Harmony is basically how they view the Wings of Magic, and shows how seemingly opposite forces (represented by the concepts of Yin ang Yang) are often time complimentary to and dependent on each other and how one should find their natural place to maintain equal Harmony. He used this as a substitute for standard religion as he and his family believed themselves to be separate from and higher than any god in the Fantasy World.

As time went on however, Big D and his wife became much more hands off when it came to ruling and eventually retired to the Celestial City above the capitol of Wei-Jin, giving even more duties and powers to their children. They aren't eating peeled grapes and partying non stop up there however, as the Emperor has a secret plan he is working on with his Astromancers that he claims will finally defeat Chaos (Whether or not humanity will benefit from this plan is not a question he has answered.) In his absence, Chaos Cults under [[Tzeentch]] began to spread and gain influence within his empire and neighboring nations such as [[Nippon]] and the [[Kingdoms of Ind]] started making raids and attacks into Cathayan territory. He also started to become blind to the growing tension and animosity between his children (not helping is the fact that he's pretty open about liking [[Miao Ying|some]] more than [[Zhao Ming|others]]) who by the way, don't know why the fuck daddy decided to stay home all day instead of helping them with their chores of "stopping the Empire from falling apart."

This bit him right on the scaly butt when he and his wife decided to leave for four centuries without telling anybody to work on his mysterious plan. When the Dragon Emperor came back he saw his empire both literally and figuratively on fire. Chaos armies had breached the Bastion and started rampaging, his kids had all started warring with each other to see who would be the one to claim the throne, a throne that by the way got occupied by a god damn ape. That ape being the Monkey King who had taken power in his absence. At this point a rightfully pissed off Dragon Emperor rallied his armies, kicked the Chaos armies and Monkey King out of his lands then presumably turned to his kids and said something along the lines of "That's it, no more personal autonomy for the next thousand years! Go to your rooms!" This leads us to modern Cathay where he seemed to have learned absolutely nothing, and continues to keep his kids in the dark about his project while letting old bitterness fester.
