Editing Cathay (section)

===[[Zhao Ming]]===
The Iron Dragon. [[Vulkan|The nice one who likes who smithing and might be going crazy.]] This guy rules the west which borders the warpstone desert. He has a green rock in his hat, right over his forehead. During an interview Andy Hall, lead writer of the [[Total War: WARHAMMER]] series, was asked if this rock was jade or [[warpstone]]. Andy refused to say which one it was. Zhao also has an interest in alchemy. Fun fact: Real Life Daoist alchemists were interested in cinnabar (which was a frequent ingredient in their attempts to make an elixir of immortality), so Chinese alchemists messing around with poison stuff in ways they shouldn't do has real-life precedent. 

While Zhao Ming's siblings are quite aloof towards their human subjects, he is far more friendly and sociable to them and most of the Dragon-blooded trace their ancestry to him, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIMwLxglN3E as well as all of the Longma]. Whether he legitimately cares for his subjects or just does it to piss off his siblings is unclear. Zhao's siblings think his mental health has declined, with his friendliness towards humans being considered some of the evidence of this. He's protected by his mother though, being her favourite.

So you end up with a guy snorting lines of warpstone, partying with his subjects and getting it on with cute alchemist girls. A true hero of the Cathayan people. Has a friendship with [[Greasus Goldtooth]] on the basis of both of them having gigantic daddy issues.
