► New Tales here:    / @thetalesoftheoldworld  

Discover the epic history of Grand Cathay and the Great Bastion—the longest defensive structure ever built in Warhammer The Old World. This comprehensive lore guide chronicles how the celestial Dragon Emperor descended from the stars in the age before men counted years, raised the Celestial City of Wei-Jin, and fathered nine dragon children including Miao Ying the Storm Dragon and Zhao Ming the Iron Dragon. Learn how the Great Bastion was forged around -1800 IC in response to the first great Chaos incursion—two thousand miles of black granite and living jade stretching from the Eastern Steppes to the eastern sea, guarded by ten thousand stone sentinels with jade eyes that never sleep. Explore the legendary Jade Warriors and Terracotta Sentinels—soldiers whose spirits are bound into jade armor after death to fight eternally alongside the living in an unprecedented fusion of duty and immortality. Witness four thousand years of endless siege as half a million Northern Army defenders face daily attacks from Chaos hordes, daemon incursions, and corrupted tribes. Understand the terrible cost of immortality paid by the dragon-blooded commanders who have stood watch for millennia, and discover why the western Empire remains ignorant of the greatest military force in the world. Perfect for Warhammer Fantasy fans seeking deep lore on Cathay, the Mandate of Heaven, dragon-blooded rulers, eternal warfare against Chaos, and the price of defending civilization through absolute harmony and unwavering duty.
