The Temple of the Celestial Dragon Monks is a monastery dedicated to the training of the famed mystical warrior Dragon Monks of Grand Cathay. Located in the Mountains of Mourn, the temple is home to an ancient and powerful Cathayan religious order. Dragon Monks are masters of unarmed combat and other martial arts who have each outlived many of their peers who did not meet their order's strict requirements or survive their first fight with any of the other full monks. Warriors from Cathay and other lands of the Known World sometimes journey to the secluded mountain temple seeking training, though very few meet the strict requirements, or even survive their first encounter with a member of the order.[1a]
Canon Conflict[]
With the recreation of Grand Cathay as a full faction for Total War: Warhammer III and Warhammer: The Old World, this lore may no longer be considered canonical. There are monks in Cathay who are skilled martial artists, but they are not necessarily the Dragon Monks of this temple.[2]
