A Celestial General of the Celestial Host of Grand Cathay leading the forces of the Dragon Emperor's Grand Imperial Army to victory on the battlefield.

Only the most powerful warriors of Grand Cathay's armies rise to the rank of Grand General of the Celestial Host. These individuals are often Dragon-blooded, though not always, for the Cathayan Dragons are willing to reward valour and obedience in any of their mortal subjects, regardless of their heritage.[1]

Regardless of their origins, each Celestial General is a skilled fighter, and as befits their rank carries weapons and armour gifted to them from the armouries of the Celestial Empire's capital at Wei-Jin. They lead from the front in battle, leaving strategy and trickery to the likes of wizards and magistrates, their presence in the thick of the fighting inspiring the armies of the Dragon Emperor.[1]
