Wish for Tien Chi's Dragon
 

We envy Jomonese. :p

Rumors have been spread all over the cities and towns:
'The sons of Dragon Kings show their presences on the other side of the East Sea.'

Our people are questioning:
'As the Real Dragon, the Son of Heaven, why don't his majesty call the Dragon Kings to aid us? '

Sitting on the Dragon Throne, touching the eyes of golden dragon on his Dragon Robe, the Emperor said nothing.

"Long", as Chinese pronunciation of eastern dragon,was a special presence in TC mythology. Jomon is given a lot of East Asia style creatures, we simply want to have a real dragon for TC.

Re: Wish for Tien Chi's Dragon
 

I'm with you on this one, as it feels a bit odd that Jomon gets some funky summons that seem entirely appropriate in TC's Celestial Bureacracy. Not that Jomon shouldn't have them too, of course :)

Maybe each should have their own Dragon King. Or even rival families of dragons.

Re: Wish for Tien Chi's Dragon
 

Heh. TC and Jomonese dragons should be quite different in feel, to me.

Personally, I like the Celestial Bureaucracy feel of MA TC quite a bit.

Re: Wish for Tien Chi's Dragon
 

How about the nine sons of Loong from Chinese legend?
they are:

Haoxian
A reckless and adventuous dragon whose image can be found decorating the eaves of palaces.
Yazi
Valiant and bellicose; his image is seen on sword-hilts and knife hilts.
Chiwen
Chiwen likes to gaze into the distance and his appearance is often carved on pinnacles.
Baxia
Baxia is a good swimmer and his image decorates many bridge piers and archways.
Pulao
Pulao is fond of roaring and his figure is carved on bells.
Bixi
Bixi is an excellent pack-animal whose image appears on panniers.
Qiuniu
Qiuniu loves music and his figure is a common decoration on the bridge of stringed musical instruments.
Suanmi
Suanmi is fond of smoke and fire; his likeness can be seen on the legs of incense-burners.
Jiaotu
Jiaotu is as tight-lipped as a mussel or a snail. His image is carved on doors.

+1. It's a bit odd to see Celestial Bureacracy is involved in the Jomonese theme of underworld. Maybe they should be described as branches or exiles of celestial sphere?

Re: Wish for Tien Chi's Dragon
 

It is unfair,Jomon have the special kind of dragon,which is in fact is more like Tien Chi's folk dragon :loong.I suppost Tien Chi should also have new special unit :Tiec Chi loong.

Re: Wish for Tien Chi's Dragon
 

Agree. Dragon is the centre myth animal in TC culture, as a kid you may not know Monkey King, but I am sure they know Dragon

Re: Wish for Tien Chi's Dragon
 

Dragons are central in Chinese mythology. They aren't even mentioned in TC mythology, are they?

Re: Wish for Tien Chi's Dragon
 

Well, TC more or less = China.
