Kingdom of Cathay Lying far to the east of the Old World is the mystical kingdom of Cathay. It is place were only rich traders from the Old World ever visit and each brings back examples of Cathay’s affluence. Cathay has one of the most powerful Navies in all of the Old World and has an equally powerful army to match. Cathay is ruled by a powerful Emperor, sitting upon the throne by rite of mandate. Powerful families rule each of Cathay’s many provinces and so there are many willing to prove their worth in battle. Cathay has the typical border problems caused by Orcs and the tiger skinned Beastmen, and suffers raids on its eastern shores by Dark Elf raiders. It constantly squabbles with Araby and many times have they gone to war. Cathay also seeks some from of revenge upon the Lizardmen, who they hold responsible for the annihilation of an entire fleet.
