Banner of Xen Yang, the true name of the Dragon Emperor of Grand Cathay

Pu-Yi,[1a] was believed to be a Cathayan Dragon Emperor during the time of Oglah Khan.[4a] It is unknown if Pu-Yi was effectively just a misnomer for the Dragon Emperor Xen Yang or another Cathayan figure of great eminence confused with him by Old World scholars.

History[]

The Hobgoblin Khan Oglah Khan's fortunes changed during the infamous Battle of Xen-Tu, where the Hobgoblins clashed with the Cathayans under the rule of Emperor Pu-Yi. When Hablo Khan, the commander of the Hobgoblin contingent, was killed by the Emperor's Champion Tong Po, many of the Hobgoblins fled, believing that all was lost.[1a][4a]

Identity of the Dragon Emperor[]

The Dragon Emperor of Grand Cathay is said to be immortal, but the names of several different emperors of Grand Cathay are known in historical records, especially in the Old World. Only a minority of the Old World's scholars believe that the Dragon Emperor is an actual Dragon in the form of a man.[1a]

This discrepancy is the result of western scholars being confused about the differentiation between various titles in the Cathayan language for the same Dragon Emperor. Additionally, they did not understand, or could not comprehend, the truth that Grand Cathay has been ruled for its entire history by a single being who is an immortal, shapeshifting Dragon instead of a long line of mortal rulers of the same family, as in the west.[2]

In fact, the Celestial Dragon truly is an immortal Cathayan Dragon in Human form, who has ruled Grand Cathay since its founding many thousands of years ago[2][3].

Trivia[]

Emperor Pu-Yi of Cathay is based upon a real world Chinese emperor of the Qing dynasty also called Puyi, or the Xuantong Emperor. Puyi was the very last Emperor of China, born to the ethnically Manchu Qing dynasty before his forced abdication by the newly formed Republic of China in 1911. He later served as the appointed ruler of Manchukuo, a puppet-state controlled by the Empire of Japan, from 1932 until 1945 during the Second Sino-Japanese War. His collaboration with the Imperial Japanese Army led to his being charged with war crimes by the Allies at the post-war Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal, which convicted and sentenced him to 10 years in a Communist Chinese prison camp.
