The Jade Warriors form the steadfast, professional core of Grand Cathay’s disciplined armies. Named for the sacred stone of the Dragon Emperor, which symbolises the unyielding nature of his vast empire, these infantrymen are renowned throughout the Old World for their exceptional training and exquisite equipment. Each city-state within Cathay fields its own regiments, arming them with finely crafted hand weapons and shields, or elegant halberds with crescent blades. In battle, they stand as an implacable, emerald wall, against which the chaotic hordes and barbarian incursions from beyond the Great Bastion are destined to break, embodying the unwavering resolve of the Celestial Dragon’s domain.
