List of Rulers of Tianchao

A comprehensive list of rulers of Tianchao, from the semi-legendary era to modern times. Pretender/Claimant rulers of unrecognized self-proclaimed dynasties and division period states/dynasties are included among them.
Rulers of the many dynasties of Tianchao were titled various ways:
* The rulers of the semi-legendary dynasties, Lang, Tong, Cong, and Chi dynasties were titled "Qiu (酋/chief)."
** These "dynasties" were really tribal chiefdoms that existed mostly contemporaneously rather than the proper dynasties that characterized the majority of Tianchao's history.
* Rulers during the Predynastic era dynasties, Wan, Zao, Gao, Mei, and early Qiang, were titled "Wang (王/King/Prince)."
** The former three are more properly described as loose confederations or collections of city-states and tribal chiefdoms, consisting of several loosely affiliated independent clans, who recognized a single ruler. Proper centralization of authority was achieved during the early stages of the Mei dynasty.
* The majority of rulers since the founding of the imperial Qiang dynasty are titled "Huangdi (皇帝/Emperor)," but other titles were used, especially during division periods.
** Such titles include old titles such as qiu and wang, but other titles used including:
*** "Tianwang" (天王/Heavenly King)
*** "Huangzi" (皇子/Prince), Huangfei (皇妃/Princess)
*** "Wupi" (巫辟/Witch King), used exclusively by rulers of the Mei dynasty.
***"Huangxun" (皇曛/Twilight Emperor), used exclusively by rulers of the Hun dynasty.
*** "Niangdi" (娘帝), used solely by rulers of the women-ruled Jing dynasty.
*** "Khagan" (卡幹/), an additional title used by the rulers of the Arslan-ruled Lin dynasty.
*** "Chihuang" (赤皇/Red Emperor) & "Baihuang" (白皇/White Emperor), used solely by the co-rulers of the Shuang dynasty.

==Wan Dynasty==
The Wan dynasty is the namesake of the collective Wan (完) people, and in turn the more ethnic names of the empire, Wanbang (完邦)/Wanyu (完宇). The Wan dynasty was created when Lang Zhengzi of the Lang tribe conquered the three other tribes and united the lands of its neighbors into a single unified state for the first time, yet it retained a tribal way of life.
Near the end of the dynasty's reign the Lang clan was usurped by the Su clan, but the usurpation led to weak rule and the collapse of the Wan dynasty, which paved way for the Zao tribe to take over as the Zao dynasty.
While the Lang clan of the Wan dynasty had several leaders prior to Qiu Zun, he is listed first as the uniter of the tribes of the time.

==Mei Dynasty==
The Mei dynasty was the longest-enduring dynasty in Tianzu history. Rulers were titled "Wupi."
The early stages of the Mei dynasty were a time of centralization, when every constituent kingdom was, at their core, fully subordinate to the central government with little to no freedom to act on their own and the monarch held supreme authority. A kingdom ruled by powerful magicians, it was also a time of vivification for Wanzu magic.
The second half of the Mei dynasty, referred to in history as the "Summer & Winter" period, was a time of experimentation with new governing methods, in particular the federalization of the empire. These included the elevation of the authorities of the constituent kingdoms to give them a say in the empire's affairs. However, these governing experiments were poorly executed and cost the Wupi much of his authority, as the newly "promoted" vassal rulers began to exercise their new powers to satisfy and attain their own interests, leading to corruption and the inability of the Wupi to keep them in check. The remaining tenure of the Mei dynasty was a struggle to hold the empire together.
The Mei dynasty finally lost all control of the constituent kingdoms when many of them went to war with each other at the same time over territorial and resource disputes, kicking off a period of civil war known as the Warring States period. Only a few smaller states remained loyal to the Mei dynasty through to the end.
Late in the Warring States period, the Mei dynasty finally collapsed when it and its vassals were conquered by the Kingdom of Hong.

==Qiang Dynasty==
The first imperial dynasty of Tianchao.
The Kingdom of Qiang was originally founded as a vassal of the Mei dynasty until it rose to dominance during the Warring States Period.
Rulers of the Kingdom of Qiang before Huangdi Chuangjian established the imperial period were titled "Wang," and the ruling family before him was the Zhi clan.
During the Qiang dynasty's reign the empire was referred to as "Tianchao" (天朝) for diplomatic purposes with surrounding states and tribes, but with the dynasty's end the name fell out of use until the Zhai dynasty officially adopted it by law.
Title of Wang of Qiang was created during the first half of the Mei dynasty, but the title was purely ceremonial, and so those holders are not included in the list. This list begins with first Wang of Qiang following the creation of the Kingdom of Qiang at the beginning of the Summer & Winter Period.

Jian Zheng used the title "Wang" from the time he usurped control of the Kingdom of Qiang from the Zhi clan until he established the Qiang dynasty, beginning the Classical Period of the Imperial Period.
He came to power around the same time the Mei dynasty finally collapsed.
As the founder of the imperial period, from then on using the title of "Huangdi," Huangdi Chuangjian is also known to history as Qiang Shou Di (薔首帝).
He proclaimed his dynasty upon his marriage to Lan Mi, the last wanghou (queen) of the Kingdom of Bao – posthumously known as Huanghou Baoxiao (寶笑皇后) – shortly after the pair led their combined armies to vanquish the Kingdom of Hong and annex its recent conquests.
The year of his ascension to Huangdi is the basis of the Luan calendar, though it wasn't adopted until the Chang dynasty.

The second ruler of the imperial Qiang dynasty, Huangdi Ziyuan was Huangdi Chuangjian's third child and only daughter.
As she outlived her two elder brothers, both of whom died of unknown causes within months of each other several years before Huangdi Chuangjian's death, most saw it as a sign that she was her father's true successor. Thus she was enthroned as the first female monarch of Tianchao.
It was also during her reign that the term Tianfei (天妃/Daughter of Heaven) was coined. Before her enthronement, official and religious leaders were stuck on whether to used the old term, Tianzi (天子/Son of Heaven), for her as she was a woman. But she ended their debate by coining the word Tianfei, which would serve as the variation for female monarchs henceforth.

It was also during her reign that the term Tianfei (天妃/Daughter of Heaven) was coined. Before her enthronement, official and religious leaders were stuck on whether to used the old term, Tianzi (天子/Son of Heaven), for her as she was a woman. But she ended their debate by coining the word Tianfei, which would serve as the variation for female monarchs henceforth.
One of only a handful of recognized female monarchs of a unified period (aside for the Jing dynasty, which was ruled entirely by women), Huangdi Ziyuan was the longest-serving ruler of the Qiang dynasty.

Jian Han劍含 	Youxiao幼小 	Huangdi Bukong薔不控皇帝 	n/a 	33 – 87TJH 	54yrs 	80 – 87TJH 	7yrs
Sixth child and fourth son of Huangdi Ziyuan out of her ten children.
After his mother ascended the throne, he superseded his elder siblings to the throne by eliminating the competition through systematic assassinations made to look like accidents or simple disappearances. So desperate he was for the throne that he did the same with any relative he felt threatened by, including his younger siblings, cousins, and even his own children. He did so slowly over the course of Huangdi Ziyuan's entire reign, and was so meticulously thorough that his mother never even suspected his involvement. Several palace officials and other relatives did suspect him but were never able to prove anything. Their suspicions were enough to try various things to block Jian Han from the throne, but Jian Han maintained a virtual army of loyal retainers that helped him stop attempts to block his succession.
He ascended the throne himself following the death of Huangdi Ziyuan. Within weeks of his coronation, one of his mother's retainers, Guan Jin, led an uprising against him to place another on the throne, but Jian Han had long suspected him and placed a spy in his ranks to keep him informed, allowing him to put down the rebellion with minimal resistance. He also used the rebellion as an excuse to execute anyone he believed to be unloyal to him, even several members of his own family. He was praised by the people for putting down the uprising, but it was shortly afterwards, with the last of his opposition to his rule eliminated, that Huangdi Bukong, to the horror of the people, showed his true colors as a brutal tyrant.
His brief seven-year reign is characterized as tyrannical, brutally cruel and oppressive, with the populace burdened with heavy taxation and unemployment, and anyone who either failed or refused to pay was jailed and then were later executed if they were still unable or refused. Any suspected dissenters were often executed without trial, and anyone found speaking out against Huangdi Bukong were often executed on the spot, even in broad daylight in a crowd full of people. Sometimes Huangdi Bukong ordered the executions of random people for his own amusement or just because he could, regardless of who they were. Huangdi Bukong even banned schools and proper education, believing that such institutions promoted too much free thought, which he believed provoked rebellious sentiment. Huangdi Bukong all but disbanded the imperial court in an attempt to have sole power over the nation.
The aftermath of natural disasters, such as flooding of rivers and the volcanic eruption of Mt. Hong, were also left unattended, resulting in a famine and weakening the country considerably. Huangdi Bukong's excuse for not trying to clean up the aftermath or fix the unemployment was to save money, a poor excuse in the eyes of the court, but Huangdi Bukong didn't care and spent his days indulging in sex and games with various women. Thousands of people died as a result of Huangdi Bukong's tyrannical governance.
All this eventually led to his own assassination at the hands of his own once-loyal ministers and palace staff, many of whom helped put him on the throne, disillusioned with the brutality of Huangdi Bukong's reign.	Sixth child and fourth son of Huangdi Ziyuan out of her ten children.

The last huangdi of the Qiang dynasty.
He was the youngest son of Huangdi Bukong, and the only one to survive to adulthood, including his father's purge of potential threats to his accession. Historians often speculated that Huangdi Bukong left him alive solely so that he still had an heir. He was placed on the throne at the age of fifteen following the assassination of Huangdi Bukong.
Though huangdi in name, Huangdi Chuantong was little more than a puppet monarch for a regent and the palace officials, most of whom were still reeling from the tyrannical reign of Huangdi Bukong. However, without the huangdi exercising any central authority, along with the regent's own incompetence, the government quickly descended into corruption, weakening the state and hastening the downfall of the Qiang dynasty.
After thirteen miserable years on the throne, Huangdi Chuantong took his own life without naming an heir. Childless, and with most of the imperial relatives of the Jian clan eligible for the throne either dead or scattered since the reign of Huangdi Bukong, the Qiang dynasty ended with him.

Childless, and with most of the imperial relatives of the Jian clan eligible for the throne either dead or scattered since the reign of Huangdi Bukong, the Qiang dynasty ended with him.

Sole huangdi of the Fan dynasty.
A minor official during the last years of the reign of Huangdi Chuantong, the last huangdi of the Qiang dynasty, he came to power in a political coup after a three-year interregnum following the suicide of Huangdi Chuantong.
Although Huangdi Cui managed to stay in power for almost four decades, he was an ineffectual ruler who failed at every meaningful thing he did as huangdi, and nothing he did improved the lives of the people.
His bad rulership eventually led to his and his own dynasty's overthrow, to be replaced by the Chang dynasty following a three-year civil war known to history as the Fan–Chang Contention (飯與昌爭辯/Fan yu Chang Zhengbian). He was spared following his defeat and allowed to abdicate, but spent the remainder of his life in exile. His burial site remains unknown.
Despite his bad rule, Huangdi Cui was still recognized for bringing some order out of the collapse of the Qiang dynasty and was given a posthumous name upon his death, but not a temple name.	Sole huangdi of the Fan dynasty.

Founder of the Bei dynasty. Gongjue of Bei under the Yue dynasty, he came to power when he orchestrated a civil war against the Imperial House of Qingse, supposedly as revenge against the Qingse clan for mistreatment of his family for generations.
Once firmly in power over all of what was Tianchao at the time, Huangdi Tanlan's reign was characterized as oppressive toward the lower class, favoring the nourishment of the nobility while leaving the commoners destitute.
After his death, Huangdi Tanlan's personal diaries were discovered during the reign of grandnephew, Huangdi Liangjiong, and from them it was learned that his revolt and civil war against the Yue dynasty to establish his own was a false cause built on a lie. Huangdi Tanlan claimed he was an illegitimate offspring between a wangzi of the Yue dynasty and the Fan clan, whose mother was tossed aside by his father when she learned she was pregnant. No one was ever able to confirm whether Huangdi Tanlan really was offspring of the Qingse clan or not, but few questioned it at the time. The discovery that it was, in fact, a lie, led to further investigation and the discovery of a brief affair between another elder female member of his family and a wangzi of the Yue dynasty prior to his birth. A still-living co-conspirator admitted, with "persuasion," that Huangdi Tanlan used the affair to establish cause by falsely passing it off as his mother's affair, whom was no longer alive to dispute his claim, all but proving his crime.
These discoveries led to the conclusion Huangdi Tanlan just wanted an excuse to become huangdi and establish his own dynasty, to mold the country into the very image of what he perceived to be a perfect empire. These discoveries brought a deep shame to the Bei dynasty that would endure to the end of its reign, though they were not made public until the Zhai dynasty.	Founder of the Bei dynasty.

Son of Huangdi Tanlan.
A staunch supporter of his father's polices, his short reign was no less oppressive toward the lower class than Huangdi Tanlan's. The second year of his reign saw a massive peasant revolt, referred to by the ruling class of the time as the Nijiang Rebellion (泥漿叛亂/Nijiang Panluan/Mud Rebellion). He put down the disorganized rebellion with ease, but he showed his cruelty when he executed nearly a thousand people, even a large number of random innocent civilians who had nothing to do with the rebellion, as a clear and harsh message of the consequences of rebelling against the Bei dynasty.
He died of illness after only six years on the throne.	Son of Huangdi Tanlan.

The second year of his reign saw a massive peasant revolt, referred to by the ruling class of the time as the Nijiang Rebellion (泥漿叛亂/Nijiang Panluan/Mud Rebellion). He put down the disorganized rebellion with ease, but he showed his cruelty when he executed nearly a thousand people, even a large number of random innocent civilians who had nothing to do with the rebellion, as a clear and harsh message of the consequences of rebelling against the Bei dynasty.

Fan Kang繁康 	 	Huangdi Liangjiong悲亮炯皇帝 	 	726 – […]TJH	 	743 – […]TJH 	
Grandnephew of Huangdi Tanlan and the third ruler of the Bei dynasty.
His pre-reign life was tumultuous. At sixteen, he came across and fell in love at first sight with Qingse Jing (青色精), grandniece of Huangdi Jiaoyong, the final ruler of the Yue dynasty. Only an infant when her family was forced from the throne and into poverty, Qingse Jing had been struggling to provide for her family since she was seven years old, but Fan Kang took pity on her and started to discreetly help her whenever he could.
Over time Qingse Jing came to realize who her mysterious benefactor was and was reluctant to get involved, despite the blossoming feelings she was feeling herself. Her reluctance was shattered when, during a festival, Fan Kang chased her through the streets until he caught her and kissed her deeply before declaring his undying love for her. Qingse Jing accepted, but they both agreed to keep their relationship a secret due to unresolved bitterness between the Imperial House of Fan and the remnants of the Qingse clan.
Against the backdrop of their hidden romance, greedy old loyalists of the Qingse clan, seeking the lost privilege they enjoyed under the Yue dynasty, where scheming to restore the Yue dynasty and put Qingse Jing on the throne.
Fan Kang became huangdi at seventeen when Huangdi Chuan, his first cousin-once-removed, died of illness without an heir.
Immediately after his coronation, Fan Kang had Qingse Jing found and brought to the imperial palace. With nothing to hold them back anymore, Fan Kang asked Qingse Jing to marry him, to the shock of the palace retainers, whom had expected him to eke out some random punishment for her family's supposed crimes. Qingse Jing accepted.
Unable to reconcile the idea of the last daughter of the Yue dynasty marrying a supposed enemy, the old retainers of the previous dynasty revolted on the day of the wedding and attempted to install Qingse Jing as a puppet ruler. Their plan was foiled due to the combined efforts of Fan Kang's most loyal friends and several former loyalists of the Yue dynasty whom had since switched allegiances.
With the rebellion of the old Yue dynasty quelled and the bitter feelings between the clans resolved, Huangdi Liangjiong and Qingse Jing (posthumously named Huanghou Aidai (皇后愛戴)) repealed the policies oppressive to the lower class that had been in place since Huangdi Tanlan's reign and led the reformation of the Bei dynasty into another golden age. Yet, gaining the trust of the people, whom were still reeling from the oppressive reigns of Huangdi Tanlan and Huangdi Chuan, proved to be a daunting task that they eventually succeeded in achieving.

==Zhai Dynasty==
Under the Zhai dynasty, the name "Tianchao" came into use as the official name of the empire, though the dynasty name was still commonly used to refer to the empire, even after the dynasty ended.
While a golden age of Tianchao history, the Zhai dynasty had a grave flaw that was partly responsible for its collapse. As the empire had grown to massive territorial proportions since the Qiang dynasty, the early Zhai rulers sought to make the land easier to rule by decentralizing some aspects of the government. They instated a form of feudalism by dividing the empire into a series of Zhou (州/provinces), ruled by a Taoji (調劑/Regulators) appointed by the huangdi, who may or may not be related to the imperial family. These were further divided into Jun (郡/commanderies) for administrative purposes. The Taoji were given the powers to levy their own taxes (of which 75% they were required to send to the imperial treasury) and keep their own armies for the purpose of defending the realm and maintaining order, at the approval of the huangdi, and were expected to send their armies to fight for the huangdi whenever he called.
This was meant to simplify ruling the empire, and for a time it worked, but over time it led to corruption and abuse of power at the expense of the common folk. Some Taoji even used their troops to forcibly enforce taxation and even falsified the amount of taxes collected to keep the majority for themselves. There even cases of Taoji engaging in unsanctioned warfare beyond the borders of the realm for the purpose of expansion and/or plunder. While there was legally nothing stopping them, they were still required to send 50% of the spoils to the imperial treasury and the ceased doing it as the decades passed.
By the waning years of the Zhai dynasty the powers of the Taoji had expanded to the point that they were beyond the control of the huangdi, yet were still answerable to him by technicality only. The powers of the Taoji had become so great that most of them lost any interest in restoring the Zhai dynasty in the aftermath of the Black Turban Rebellion and the Coalition Against Huai Gui, and instead sought to carve out a piece of the collapsing empire for themselves or even usurp the throne.

Lin Lin was a female ruler, one of only a handful recognized in Tianzu history, aside for the women-ruled Jing dynasty.
Originally an outlaw and bandit leader, Lin Lin waged war against the Zhai dynasty itself and all its lords during the Wars at the End of the Zhai Dynasty.
She used the suffering of the people caused by the recent famine and the chaos of the conflict between the regional warlords to justify her campaign, taking advantage of the chaos of the civil wars to better herself and the people.
She stole the Imperial Seal of Tianchao from the Imperial Palace when she led her bandit army to invade and sack the capital while Sun Jun, then the self-titled Tongshuai of Zhai, was away warring with Kong Song, and used her "acquisition" of it as justification for declaring herself huangdi of a new dynasty.
She vanished following her final defeat; whether she escaped and went into hiding or died in battle was never known. The seal was never recovered and wouldn't be seen again until the rise of the Jing dynasty seventeen centuries later.

A religious leader-turned-warlord, who proclaimed himself huangdi of the Huang dynasty – also known as Xin Huang (信黃) to differentiate it from the Warring States kingdom of the same name.
Devoted to Linglun faith and loved by his people, his rationale for proclaiming his dynasty was that the Zhai dynasty had long-since lost the Mandate of Heaven and that he had received a vision from the gods saying that it had been granted to him for the purpose of saving the nation from self-destruction. He died of illness a year and a half following his declaration. Passing on without an heir, his court quickly collapsed and his army scattered.

An ethnic Senzai warlord from the Dianqing (靛青) peninsula, who proclaimed himself huangdi of the Dian dynasty.
His rationale for proclaiming his dynasty remains unknown to history, but most historians believe he was simply an independence fighter before becoming overly ambitious. He intended on conquering the rest of Tianchao, but his self-proclaimed dynasty was defeated by Kong Song and his armies following a successful invasion and reconquest of the peninsula two years later. San Yinghao himself was captured and executed. His sons and daughters were spared, but the men were forced to serve in the armies the Kong-controlled Zhai, and later the Gan, court. San Yinghao's eldest daughter, San An (傘安), was forced to marry Kong Song's nephew, Kong Zao, but would later follow him when her husband defected to Yong Zhai Kingdom.

Sole ruler of the Lai dynasty.
A centaur of noble birth, he brought order to Tianchao when he replaced the Xuan dynasty following a three-year interregnum and war of succession within the imperial Shenji clan that followed the death of the Xuan dynasty's last huangdi.
Seventeen years later, Huang Wanjian (later known as Huangdi Qishi of the Hun dynasty) led a coup against him to force him to abdicate, but Huangdi Mashu, placed under house arrest, resisted for three years until he was left with no recourse but to abdicate, ending the short-lived Lai dynasty.

==Hun Dynasty==
The Hun dynasty was the only vampire-ruled dynasty to rule a unified Tianchao.
Under the Hun dynasty, vampires achieved a lot more freedom and rights than they used to have, to the point that they almost eclipsed other races.
Because the imperial Huang family were chunzheng (nightcrawler) vampires, and therefore couldn't go out in the sun, and only held court at night, the primary way they maintained their grip on power was through an elite force known as the Fangshai (防曬/Sun Guard) – made up mostly of chenzou (daywalker) vampires and some loyal humans – whose job it was was to maintain the Hun dynasty's rule during the day when the imperial family could not, as well as guard the imperial family when they slept during the day.
Also, being of a race with great longevity (usually), the rulers of the Hun dynasty, which were titled Huangxun (皇曛/Twilight Emperor) would traditionally abdicate after between twenty-five to forty years on the throne.
Enduring for 562 years – the second-longest-enduring dynasty of the imperial era – the Hun dynasty was the last dynasty of the Classical Imperial Era.

First huangdi of the Hun dynasty. Before becoming huangdi, he was the Wang of Hun and a government official in the last years of the Xuan dynasty and throughout the Lai dynasty.
Partially inspired by Huangdi Mashu's victory, partially because he believed a centaur was unworthy of the Mandate of Heaven, he led a coup of the imperial palace – known as the Wuye Zhengbian (午夜政變/Midnight Coup) – to force Huangdi Mashu to abdicate to him, but Huangdi Mashu resisted.
And so, rather than kill Huangdi Mashu, Huangxun Qishi placed him under house arrest, took control of the government, and declared himself huangdi of the Hun dynasty. Huangxun Qishi pressed Huangdi Mashu for his abdication for three years until he finally broke him and convinced him to abdicate, ending the Lai dynasty.	First huangdi of the Hun dynasty.

The sole ruler of the breakaway Zhao dynasty.
He was a well-accomplished but unacknowledged general of the Hun dynasty. Declared independence of the land he was given to govern as both revenge and to grab some much-craved glory for himself.
Fought against the Hun dynasty to maintain his self-declared empire until he was slain in battle. His slayer was Wangzi Tao of Souchuan (藪川逃王子/Souchuan Tao Wangzi), a wangzi (prince) of the Hun dynasty, personal name Huang Chuang (衁窗); styled Jingzi (鏡子). Wangzi Tao was glorified in history as the slayer of a rouge general, but was demonized by Yan Tang's followers.	The sole ruler of the breakaway Zhao dynasty.

Mentally stunted, he was dominated by regents for the entirety of his reign.
Throughout his tenure, there was constant internecine fighting between regents, imperial wangzi (his siblings, uncles, cousins), and his wife Huanghou Mihan Keyi (米晗可以皇後) for the right to control him (and therefore the imperial administration), causing great suffering for the people and greatly undermining the stability of the Kai regime, culminating in a conflict known as the War of the Twelve Princes (2154 – 2167ᴘᴄᴢ/2575 – 2588TJH).

An utterly corrupt, selfish and tyrannical ruler, the policies of his two-decade reign led to financial ruin and began the downfall of the Zan dynasty.

Son of Huangdi Jinglao, and the last ruler of the Zan dynasty. He spent the entirety of his uncle's reign in hiding, only coming out again to take the throne following Huangdi Qipian's death.
When he took the throne, his empire attempted to recover, both financially and culturally, from the tyrannical reign of his uncle and the plague near the end of the latter's reign, but did not have the chance to properly do so. The Zan dynasty remained locked in civil war, with warlords and several imperial relatives vying for the throne since the final days of Huangdi Qipian, and his ascension did nothing to convince them to lay down their arms.
His reign saw the conquest of Tianchao by the Qiu dynasty of the Xiyi people, for which it was unprepared but still managed to resist for ten years despite ongoing civil war.

==Qiu Dynasty==
The imperial family of the Qiu dynasty originated from the island of the same name and was of the Xiyi (爬蟲) people, and was the second non-Gao ethnic group to rule a unified Tianchao. Before this period, the island of Qiu was not yet under the sovereignty of Tianchao.
Rulers of this dynasty used the self-made title Longdi (龍帝/Dragon Emperor). Xunyicao Heilin, the final ruler of the dynasty, changed the title to Shendi (神帝/God Emperor) during his reign as a reflection of his vanity in attempt to make himself seemingly a god, but was given the title Fenghuang (瘋皇/Mad Emperor) as part of his posthumous and temple name upon his overthrow.
Additionally, while the dwarven invention of black powder had been available for various actions across Marlakcor for centuries, the Qiu dynasty's conquest of Tianchao was the first time in Tianzu history it had been utilized as a weapon of war.

The same year he established his dynasty, seeing an opportunity to establish glory for himself and his people, and revitalize the empire his way, he orchestrated the Xiyi invasion of Zanghuan, known as the Gao–Xiyi War, to replace the faltering Zan dynasty, sundered by instability and civil war, and the aftermath of a plague, since the mid-reign of Huangdi Qipian.
Regretfully, even with victory in sight, he did not live to see his ambitions realized.	The founder of the Qiu dynasty with the unification of the island – which had been divided by many different Xiyi tribes for centuries – under his hegemony.

Grandson of Longdi Jiayin. One of the longest-ruling monarchs in Tianzu history. He was also the first Huangdi of the Qiu dynasty to rule it from a place in Zanghuan.
One of his acts in the second decade of his reign was to found what is now the city of Longcheng (龍城) in eastern Zanghuan, moving the capital there from Gulong (古龍), the old capital of the Qiu dynasty. His rationale for moving the capital was to give the dynasty further legitimacy by ruling it from a place closer Tianchao's cradle of civilization, while the placement of the new capital also meant to serve as a reminder of the dynasty's roots.

Son of Longdi Jinglu, he came to power by violently overthrowing his own father. Historians speculate that he also had a hand in the death of his own grandfather, Taishang Longdi Qiancheng, a few years prior so that he couldn't interfere, but this has never been proven.
Wuming Fenghuang, was a monstrous tyrannical ruler so cruel and evil that his name still lives infamy. He used the title Shendi (神帝/God Emperor) during his reign as a reflection of his vanity in attempt to make himself seemingly a god, but was given the title Fenghuang (瘋皇/Mad Emperor) as part of his posthumous name upon his overthrow.
Throughout his reign he committed numerous atrocities, including: raising taxes despite a famine, massacring entire populations of several towns and villages who failed to pay just for sport, executing random people for amusement, forcing kinsmen to fight to the death, kidnapping hundreds of random women for his harem to fuel is lust, killing many for fun later, and many more besides. The most heinous of his evil was the institution of human sacrifice. According to texts written in the aftermath of his overthrow, he began the practice of human sacrifice – a practice that had been abolished by the Mei dynasty almost four thousand years before – under the belief that gifting the gods with blood of mortals would bring prosperity to his empire and thus they would reward him with immortality. The vast majority of the sacrifices made during his reign were random people, but many others were those he had executed for his amusement. Many more were captives taken from settlements suspected of plotting rebellion or from beyond the empire's borders, a campaign infamously known as the Dragon Raids (龍劫/Long Jie).
So infamous is he that since the end of his reign his names came to viewed as synonymous with evil, to the point that people fear to even speak them, a fear that persists into present day; he is commonly referred to in conversation by his unique temple name: Wuming Fenghuang (無名瘋皇/Nameless Mad Emperor).
He was finally overthrown and his dynasty replaced after a year-long civil war known to history as Muren's Rebellion (木人謀反). Captured alive when the capital fell, he was denied a proper execution and burial. He was instead cursed and buried alive in a tomb that was more of a prison, the location of which was purposely unrecorded in history to prevent anyone from finding him.
Wanzu mage texts call his curse the Xie'e Juexing (邪惡覺醒/Evil Awakening). It's described as the worst of all curses. Should he be awakened he would take his revenge by destroying all of Tianxia; which, in modern terms, would include all of Qirsyllviar, not just Marlakcor.	Final ruler of the Qiu dynasty.

==Jia Dynasty==
While short-lived, it was the first Gao-ruled unity dynasty since the Kai dynasty.
The Jia dynasty was an unstable regime from the outset, as the founder of the dynasty had little interest in being ruler. The lack of effective ruling led to corruption and the destabilization of the regime, setting the stage for the destructive War of the Seven Emperors and paving way for the rise of the Gun dynasty.

Gongjue of Jia during the last decade of the Qiu dynasty, Pang Yu became the founder of the Jia dynasty after overthrowing the last tyrannical ruler of the Xiyi-ruled Qiu dynasty following a year-long civil war – an event remembered as Muren's Rebellion – restoring Gao rule to Tianchao for the first time in almost two centuries. He is generally regarded as the sole true huangdi of the Jia dynasty.
Even today he remains a mixed figure by historians. While lauded as a hero for ending the tyrannical rule of Wuming Fenghuang and the Qiu dynasty, he was well known for his drunken temperament and general lack of interest in actually ruling the empire, preferring to leave it all to the ministers. Because of this, he is also widely regarded as an inefficient ruler whose policies, or lack thereof, destabilized the regime and the empire, setting the stage for civil war following his death. His only true act as ruler was to move the capital back to Xingyun, the capital last used by the Kai dynasty.
His inactive rulership and lack of oversight caused the government bureaucracy to descend into corruption as the ministers sought to enrich themselves at the expense of the common people; Huangdi Zui's brothers tried to keep the bureaucrats in line on their own, but without his authority they could only do so much. What's more, as it became increasingly apparent that Pang Wu wasn't Huangdi Zui's son, and it wasn't long before they became rivals to possibly succeed his throne.
As his brothers and a few others were trying to maintain order when he would not, Huangdi Zui's tenure also saw the formation of various factions, either supporting one of his brothers to succeed him or for someone else to replace the dynasty, further destabilizing the regime.
He died suddenly during the seventeenth year of his reign. His cause of death is unknown, but historians have long suspected that he was somehow assassinated, perhaps by his own huanghou, possibly by an undetectable poison.

His cause of death is unknown, but historians have long suspected that he was somehow assassinated, perhaps by his own huanghou, possibly by an undetectable poison.	Gongjue of Jia during the last decade of the Qiu dynasty, Pang Yu became the founder of the Jia dynasty after overthrowing the last tyrannical ruler of the Xiyi-ruled Qiu dynasty following a year-long civil war – an event remembered as Muren's Rebellion – restoring Gao rule to Tianchao for the first time in almost two centuries. He is generally regarded as the sole true huangdi of the Jia dynasty.
Even today he remains a mixed figure by historians. While lauded as a hero for ending the tyrannical rule of Wuming Fenghuang and the Qiu dynasty, he was well known for his drunken temperament and general lack of interest in actually ruling the empire, preferring to leave it all to the ministers. Because of this, he is also widely regarded as an inefficient ruler whose policies, or lack thereof, destabilized the regime and the empire, setting the stage for civil war following his death. His only true act as ruler was to move the capital back to Xingyun, the capital last used by the Kai dynasty.
His inactive rulership and lack of oversight caused the government bureaucracy to descend into corruption as the ministers sought to enrich themselves at the expense of the common people; Huangdi Zui's brothers tried to keep the bureaucrats in line on their own, but without his authority they could only do so much. What's more, as it became increasingly apparent that Pang Wu wasn't Huangdi Zui's son, and it wasn't long before they became rivals to possibly succeed his throne.

Huangdi Zui is generally regarded as the only true huangdi of the Jia dynasty. The reigns and conflicts of his brothers and presumed son, part of the wider War of the Seven Emperors, is considered by most historians as an interregnum between his death and the founding of the Gun dynasty. Yet Huangdi Xiong (Pang Long) is traditionally counted by historians and scholars among the official list of huangdi as the final monarch of the Jia dynasty for conclusionary reasons.

Huangdi Zui's direct successor, but was an illegitimate bastard whom was not born to him. No one was sure of this at the time, but various factors led many to conclude he wasn't Huangdi Zui's son.
Huangdi Zui's huanghou, known to history as Jin Ting (尽挺), deceived him into thinking he was, but no one was able to prove it at the time. The common belief among most of the palace officials of the time was that he was born of an affair between Jin Ting and one of her male servants; yet no one was able to confirm this theory, as the suspected servant, whose name is unrecorded in history, vanished shortly after Pang Wu was born, presumably killed by Jin Ting to prevent him from revealing the truth. Jin Ting's diaries were discovered during the Jing dynasty, from which her deception was officially confirmed and made public, earning her the posthumous name Huanghou Pianzi (騙子皇后).
Huangdi Hunwai was fifteen years old at the time of Huangdi Zui's death. Though he was given a posthumous name, historians traditionally don't count him among the official list of huangdi, but rather as a pretender.
He was well-known as a selfish tyrant whose policies made the common people, and even his own sycophants, suffer; although, historians admit that he was not nearly as bad as his presumed father's predecessor. He was also an inept politician worse than his presumed father, and all his actions kept bringing his empire further into ruin. He refused to consider surrender or negotiation under any circumstance, executing anyone who attempted to counsel it, even his own mother and several of his other relatives, and kept his empire on the path of civil war.
Early on his mother tried to control and manipulate him as the power behind the throne, but was only minimally successful. Pang Wu proved uncontrollable and was not eager to listen to her advice; he only instated a small few of the many policies she recommended to shut her up, thus he was partially her puppet but mostly did as he pleased. Two years into his reign, as Pang Wu grew tired of listening to his mother's "advice," he realized just what he could really do with his power and eventually had his own mother executed for the crime of "annoying" him. With his mother gone, he reveled in his supposed freedom and appointed an assumed sycophant, Song De, as his advisor. However, while he continued to do as he pleased, Pang Wu failed to realize that, throughout the remainder of his reign, Song De was only inflating up his ego and thus didn't realize that most of the policies that he passed were Song De's idea in the first place. He even agreed to an arranged marriage Song De organized to keep him occupied. Thus he became the puppet of Song De.
in 3189TJH, Pang Wu was killed, along with many of his nearest relatives, in a palace coup initiated by Song De, who declared himself huangdi and founded the Gun dynasty, replacing the Jia regime.

Four years after the establishment of the Gun dynasty, with the Gun army beginning to encroach upon his lands following the fall of Pang Long in battle against the San dynasty, Ren Jizhi challenged Song De to a "duel of champions" and his champion lost. Per the terms of the duel, in which his kingdom would retain independence if he had won, he willingly abdicated, ending his self-proclaimed dynasty.

Founder of the Gun dynasty. Gongjue of Gun during the Qiu and Jia dynasties, he is lauded as a hero for bringing order back to Tianchao by replacing the collapsing Jia dynasty during the War of the Seven Emperors. He initially feigned allegiance to the illegitimate Huangdi Hunwai for the early stages of the war before he came to power. His reign began when he instigated a palace coup, killing Huangdi Hunwai and many of the tyrannical bastard's nearest relatives, both his presumed ones and his actual blood relatives, yet he spared Huangdi Hunwai's young an innocent children.
Ended the war with the reconquest of the breakaway San dynasty.
He is viewed by historians with mixed impressions: on one hand he is lauded as a hero for restoring order to a nation plagued by decades of strife and war; on the other he is admonished as a manipulative opportunistic usurper for overthrowing a dynasty to establish his own. Sparing the innocent children of Huangdi Hunwai the death penalty earned him some respect, but not enough to fully redeem his reputation.	Founder of the Gun dynasty.

Ended the war with the reconquest of the breakaway San dynasty.
He is viewed by historians with mixed impressions: on one hand he is lauded as a hero for restoring order to a nation plagued by decades of strife and war; on the other he is admonished as a manipulative opportunistic usurper for overthrowing a dynasty to establish his own. Sparing the innocent children of Huangdi Hunwai the death penalty earned him some respect, but not enough to fully redeem his reputation.

Grandson of Huangdi Tilu and the third ruler of the Gun dynasty.
Born the same day as the death of his grandfather, he was enthroned as a newborn infant instead of his father, Song Junguan (松軍管), whom had been rendered a cripple following a disastrous campaign in Guangdai several months prior. His reign was mostly a regency of his mother, Huanghou Shezheng Beiguo (皇后攝政背過/Empress Regent Beiguo) (personal name: Kang Mi (康蜜); styled Heiyi (黑衣)), and so he exercised little authority until the final few years of his reign following both his coming of age and the death of his mother. Often nicknamed "Bei Yiwang de Huangdi (被遺忘的皇帝/the forgotten emperor)" due to his relatively uneventful reign, which is also the origin of his posthumous name. Died of illness.	Grandson of Huangdi Tilu and the third ruler of the Gun dynasty.

==Jing Dynasty==
Unique among the rest of the dynasties. While there were female monarchs in past and future dynasties, in both unity and division periods, the Jing dynasty was the only unity period dynasty ruled entirely by women. Monarchs of the Jing dynasty used the title Niangdi, with the title passed mother to daughter matrilineally, and all children of daughters of the imperial family took their mothers' surname as well. While men were forbidden from succeeding the throne during this dynasty, inheritance of the family name was remained as unchanged for sons born into the imperial family, and their sons and daughters continued to inherit the family name.
Enduring for over six-and-a-half centuries, it is longest imperial dynasty in the history of Tianchao. And, while female-preference primogeniture had been practiced sparingly in the past, the Jing dynasty is also famous for being sole period of female-only primogeniture in Tianzu history.
While women had achieved high military and political status many thousands of times under previous dynasties, they were difficult to attain and required great merit before they were even considered for those statuses. Under the Jing dynasty, women's rights and status were elevated to equal of that of men, given them equal opportunity, which saw the rise of many influential characters of both sexes throughout the dynasty's tenure.
Most rulers of the Jing dynasty did not marry, but instead maintained harems of male concubines for political and reproductive purposes, and most holding a maximum of five consorts. Only a handful of niangdi married a legal husband, and the few that did often retained the harems. This had the additional effect of reducing the number of offspring the niangdi had in her lifetime, reducing the number of contenders and ensuring clear heir to the throne and a peaceful assumption of power by the heir in most cases.
The clan had all but vanished into obscurity and destitution with the onset of the Seven Dynasties & Twelve Kingdoms period, but returned to prominence when it was granted the hereditary title "Wanghou of Jing" (晶王后/Jing Wanghou) by the Lin dynasty's Suvdan Khatun (蘇凡丹皇后/), a great admirer of the dynasty. The Yuan clan was even permitted to reoccupy the Jing Imperial Palace and has since maintained prominent influence in the courts of the Lin, Lei & Cui dynasties, but did not recognize the legitimacy of the Hang and Tun dynasties.
While the matriarchal Yuan clan no longer holds the throne today, dynasty's descendants continues on while holding considerable influence, far more than can be said for the descendants of any former dynasty.

The founder of the Jing dynasty.
Her parents were named Sheng Jin (繩筋) and Yuan Minglin (苑茗琳). Yuan Lan's mother, Yuan Minglin, was born a commoner woman from a well off merchant family. A bad investment on her father's part led to debts and her being sold into slavery to pay them off. Not long after, Yuan Minglin met Sheng Jin, another slave, who became her constant companion until he died. Yuan Lan, the future ruler of Tianchao, was born some time after, and they decided that she would have her mother's surname rather than her father's.
Born a slave, Yuan Lan endured harsh conditions under the tyrannical slave system of the Gun dynasty. Her father died as a result of these conditions when she was just eight years old.
When she was a teenager, Yuan Lan started to speak out against slavery and the oppression of women under patriarchal traditions. Even though she endured harsh punishments for speaking out, including whippings and being striped nude and tied to a pole in public, she kept her head high and never let herself be silenced.
Influential and charismatic, with an innate talent for public speaking, she accumulated some sympathetic listeners, both freemen and fellow slaves, and even some sympathetic nobles, some who turned into devoted followers. Among them were her two lifelong friends: Tian Meili (甜美梨), styled Aifeng (爱風), a young noblegirl of high stature who was her oldest friend and sworn sister, whom also taught her to read and write; and Xiong Wu (熊舞), styled Jianshi (劍師), a fellow slave and her sworn brother. Another of Yuan Lan's close allies was her teacher, Po Han (迫含), styled Wushi (武師), the Abjaksan of the time and the greatest martial arts and zhishu (質術) master of the era, who trained her in everything he knew when he discovered she was a zhifu (質婦). Even after she became ruler of Tianchao, he continued to train her and her children.
When she was nineteen, Yuan Lan's mother was arrested and imprisoned on trumped up charges in an attempt to shut her down, but that was the final straw for her. With support from Tian Meili's family, she organized and led a slave revolt in Dongtan, the imperial capital of the time. Her uprising was repulsed from the city, but word of her cause spread far and wide and attracted followers from all corners of the empire, women and men, until they had grown into an army many-thousands-strong within just a few weeks. A slave no more, her cause then waged war against the Gun dynasty, a conflict known to history as the Jing–Gun War (3277 – 3284TJH).
Following the Battle of Tanxian a few months into the conflict, Yuan Lan and some of her retinue came across a small hidden temple that had been left derelict for a long time; the writings they found seemed to indicate it had been built during the Hun dynasty, but something about the temple felt much older. Enshrined in the temple was a locked puzzle box that nobody could budge. But when Yuan Lan touched it the pieces began to move, allowing her to solve it. Her solving the puzzle unlocked the lid which opened with a bright glow. To the awe of everyone, in the box was the Imperial Seal of Tianchao, long thought lost since the defeat of Lin Lin at the end of the Zhai dynasty seventeen centuries ago, and on the inside of the lid was an inscription: 只有天朝真正的統治者可以佔有璽。(Zhiyou Tianchao zhenzheng de tongzhi zhe keyi zhanyou xi./Only the true ruler of Tianchao may take possession of the Imperial Seal.).
The acquisition of the long-lost Imperial Seal proved a major propaganda and morale coup. At the urging of her most loyal retainers – who believed that the sudden growth and support of her rebellion, as well as her acquisition of the long-lost imperial seal, meant that the Gun dynasty had lost the Mandate of Heaven and it had been granted to her – Yuan Lan hesitantly declared a new dynasty, naming her dynasty "Jing (晶)," and coined the imperial title of "Niangdi (娘帝)." Her declaration was met with applause from her entire army and retinue. To solidify her position, she named Xiong Wu one of her first consorts, along with the sons of several other retainers, and decreed that her children would use her surname. Once the news spread across the empire, not only was there a tidal wave of support for the new Jing dynasty, but much of what little support remained for the Gun dynasty faded away in favor of the Jing.
The final conquest of the capital seven years later saw the deposition of Huangdi Tanpan and the end of the Gun dynasty. Once he had heard Jing forces had breached the palace defenses, Huangdi Tanpan committed suicide rather than be executed or forced to abdicate.
Once firmly in power, Yuan Lan freed her mother, who was surprised to learn her daughter was now the ruler of the empire, and outlawed slavery – a policy that endured until the inauguration of the Arslan-ruled Lin dynasty – and ushered in a golden age that lasted until the end of the dynasty. She also revitalized the empire with various welfare projects that improved the lives of people of all races and social classes; and for these reasons she is firmly acknowledged as one of the greatest rulers in Tianzu history.
Niangdi Cuilu never married, but maintained a harem of no less than thirty men for political (as they were mostly sons of influential families and/or retainers) and reproductive reasons. Regardless, most nights her bed was warmed by Tian Meili, whom became Niangdi Cui's lover soon after securing the throne
Niangdi Cuilu gave birth to three sons named Yuan Ping (苑评), Yuan Kou (苑摳), and Yuan Yong (苑勇), in 3285, 3290, and 3297TJH respectively, but only the eldest was born to Xiong Wu. In 3304TJH, her granddaughter and heiress, Yuan Ying (苑硬), was born to her eldest son. Before the birth of her granddaughter, most assumed that one of Niangdi Cuilu's sons would be her heir, but the day of the birth of her Yuan Ying she shocked the nation when she decreed that successors to the Jing dynasty would only be women, something not only defied all old traditions but she had longed to do but couldn't until she had female progeny to do so.
Niangdi Cuilu died of natural causes in 3321TJH and was deified as the goddess of Childbirth and Motherhood after her death. Aside for her posthumous and temple names, in later years of the dynasty she was also sometimes known as Zuchuan Niangqin Zhongda (祖傳孃親重大/Great Ancestral Mother).	The founder of the Jing dynasty.
Her parents were named Sheng Jin (繩筋) and Yuan Minglin (苑茗琳). Yuan Lan's mother, Yuan Minglin, was born a commoner woman from a well off merchant family.

Once the news spread across the empire, not only was there a tidal wave of support for the new Jing dynasty, but much of what little support remained for the Gun dynasty faded away in favor of the Jing.
The final conquest of the capital seven years later saw the deposition of Huangdi Tanpan and the end of the Gun dynasty. Once he had heard Jing forces had breached the palace defenses, Huangdi Tanpan committed suicide rather than be executed or forced to abdicate.
Once firmly in power, Yuan Lan freed her mother, who was surprised to learn her daughter was now the ruler of the empire, and outlawed slavery – a policy that endured until the inauguration of the Arslan-ruled Lin dynasty – and ushered in a golden age that lasted until the end of the dynasty. She also revitalized the empire with various welfare projects that improved the lives of people of all races and social classes; and for these reasons she is firmly acknowledged as one of the greatest rulers in Tianzu history.
Niangdi Cuilu never married, but maintained a harem of no less than thirty men for political (as they were mostly sons of influential families and/or retainers) and reproductive reasons. Regardless, most nights her bed was warmed by Tian Meili, whom became Niangdi Cui's lover soon after securing the throne
Niangdi Cuilu gave birth to three sons named Yuan Ping (苑评), Yuan Kou (苑摳), and Yuan Yong (苑勇), in 3285, 3290, and 3297TJH respectively, but only the eldest was born to Xiong Wu. In 3304TJH, her granddaughter and heiress, Yuan Ying (苑硬), was born to her eldest son. Before the birth of her granddaughter, most assumed that one of Niangdi Cuilu's sons would be her heir, but the day of the birth of her Yuan Ying she shocked the nation when she decreed that successors to the Jing dynasty would only be women, something not only defied all old traditions but she had longed to do but couldn't until she had female progeny to do so.
Niangdi Cuilu died of natural causes in 3321TJH and was deified as the goddess of Childbirth and Motherhood after her death. Aside for her posthumous and temple names, in later years of the dynasty she was also sometimes known as Zuchuan Niangqin Zhongda (祖傳孃親重大/Great Ancestral Mother).	The founder of the Jing dynasty.
Her parents were named Sheng Jin (繩筋) and Yuan Minglin (苑茗琳). Yuan Lan's mother, Yuan Minglin, was born a commoner woman from a well off merchant family. A bad investment on her father's part led to debts and her being sold into slavery to pay them off. Not long after, Yuan Minglin met Sheng Jin, another slave, who became her constant companion until he died. Yuan Lan, the future ruler of Tianchao, was born some time after, and they decided that she would have her mother's surname rather than her father's.
Born a slave, Yuan Lan endured harsh conditions under the tyrannical slave system of the Gun dynasty. Her father died as a result of these conditions when she was just eight years old.
When she was a teenager, Yuan Lan started to speak out against slavery and the oppression of women under patriarchal traditions. Even though she endured harsh punishments for speaking out, including whippings and being striped nude and tied to a pole in public, she kept her head high and never let herself be silenced.
Influential and charismatic, with an innate talent for public speaking, she accumulated some sympathetic listeners, both freemen and fellow slaves, and even some sympathetic nobles, some who turned into devoted followers. Among them were her two lifelong friends: Tian Meili (甜美梨), styled Aifeng (爱風), a young noblegirl of high stature who was her oldest friend and sworn sister, whom also taught her to read and write; and Xiong Wu (熊舞), styled Jianshi (劍師), a fellow slave and her sworn brother. Another of Yuan Lan's close allies was her teacher, Po Han (迫含), styled Wushi (武師), the Abjaksan of the time and the greatest martial arts and zhishu (質術) master of the era, who trained her in everything he knew when he discovered she was a zhifu (質婦). Even after she became ruler of Tianchao, he continued to train her and her children.
When she was nineteen, Yuan Lan's mother was arrested and imprisoned on trumped up charges in an attempt to shut her down, but that was the final straw for her. With support from Tian Meili's family, she organized and led a slave revolt in Dongtan, the imperial capital of the time. Her uprising was repulsed from the city, but word of her cause spread far and wide and attracted followers from all corners of the empire, women and men, until they had grown into an army many-thousands-strong within just a few weeks. A slave no more, her cause then waged war against the Gun dynasty, a conflict known to history as the Jing–Gun War (3277 – 3284TJH).
Following the Battle of Tanxian a few months into the conflict, Yuan Lan and some of her retinue came across a small hidden temple that had been left derelict for a long time; the writings they found seemed to indicate it had been built during the Hun dynasty, but something about the temple felt much older. Enshrined in the temple was a locked puzzle box that nobody could budge. But when Yuan Lan touched it the pieces began to move, allowing her to solve it. Her solving the puzzle unlocked the lid which opened with a bright glow. To the awe of everyone, in the box was the Imperial Seal of Tianchao, long thought lost since the defeat of Lin Lin at the end of the Zhai dynasty seventeen centuries ago, and on the inside of the lid was an inscription: 只有天朝真正的統治者可以佔有璽。(Zhiyou Tianchao zhenzheng de tongzhi zhe keyi zhanyou xi./Only the true ruler of Tianchao may take possession of the Imperial Seal.).
The acquisition of the long-lost Imperial Seal proved a major propaganda and morale coup. At the urging of her most loyal retainers – who believed that the sudden growth and support of her rebellion, as well as her acquisition of the long-lost imperial seal, meant that the Gun dynasty had lost the Mandate of Heaven and it had been granted to her – Yuan Lan hesitantly declared a new dynasty, naming her dynasty "Jing (晶)," and coined the imperial title of "Niangdi (娘帝)." Her declaration was met with applause from her entire army and retinue. To solidify her position, she named Xiong Wu one of her first consorts, along with the sons of several other retainers, and decreed that her children would use her surname. Once the news spread across the empire, not only was there a tidal wave of support for the new Jing dynasty, but much of what little support remained for the Gun dynasty faded away in favor of the Jing.

Granddaughter of Niangdi Cuilu via her eldest son, Yuan Ping and his wife Qin Ren (琴忍). Before she was born, most assumed that either her father one of her uncles would be Niangdi Cuilu's heir. But the day of her birth Niangdi Cuilu shocked the nation when she decreed that successors of the Jing dynasty would only be women.
As her father and uncles held no ambition for the throne, this caused no friction between them. In fact, when she was old enough to understand her father openly told her how relieved he was that she had been born.
Niangdi Hongbao came into the throne at the age of seventeen upon the death of her grandmother.
Under her reign, the modern capital, Tangzhai, was founded. But the new imperial palace would not be occupied or completed until the reign of her successor, Yuan Ren (Taishang Niangdi Baolan).
One of the few niangdi whom married, she and her husband, Tu'an Weijin (圖案圍巾), gave birth to four children, three daughters and a son, over the course of her reign.

Third daughter and child of Niangdi Hongbao, she superseded her elder sisters to the throne when they declared their intentions forgo any right to the throne in favor of personal pursuits.
Came into the throne at the age of seventeen upon the death of her mother.
The imperial palace of Tangzhai, the new (and modern) imperial capital founded during her mother's reign, was completed a few years after she ascended the throne. Thus Niangdi Baolan was the first monarch of Tianchao to occupy the modern capital. During her reign she gave birth to two daughters, Yuan Jin and Yuan Qing, sired by different men.
She later abdicated in favor of her chosen heir – passing over her elder daughter, Yuan Jin, the future Niangdi Huangjing, in favor of her younger daughter, Yuan Qing (Niangdi Lingxing) – but retained power as regent until she reached age of majority, transferring all powers to Yuan Qing when she turned seventeen before going into retirement.
She only briefly came out of retirement to be regent for her granddaughter, Yuan Chanjuan (Niangdi Jinyu), daughter of Yuan Qing, upon the death of Yuan Jin. She transferred full powers to her granddaughter upon her twentieth birthday before spending the remainder of her life in quiet retirement	Third daughter and child of Niangdi Hongbao, she superseded her elder sisters to the throne when they declared their intentions forgo any right to the throne in favor of personal pursuits.

First child and eldest daughter of Taishang Niangdi Baolan and elder sister of Niangdi Lingxing. Initially passed over to be heir to the throne by her mother. Tomboyish and adventurous, she held no grudge against her and instead opted to pursue a military career over a political one. Achieving an astounding record in the field, mainly against the Sinjok kingdoms in Guangdai, Yuan Jin was awarded the title of Taiwei – one of the offices of the Liugexia and the highest military rank in the Tianzu army – by her sister; one of Niangdi Lingxing's first acts when their mother fully turned power over to her.
When Niangdi Lingxing died in childbirth with her only daughter and heir, Yuan Chanjuan, a newborn infant, Yuan Jin was elected to take over as ruler. Despite being passed over for the throne initially, and she never held any desire for the throne, she proved herself a capable ruler.
Niangdi Huangjing was later killed in battle during a war of expansion.
By her will, she was succeeded by Yuan Chanjuan, upon her death; yet upon the death of her niece, who died from illness without any living children or naming an heir, her own daughter, Yuan Qiqi (Niangdi Kuihua), took over as ruler.

Yuan Jiang苑將 	Yunying熨英 	Niangdi Ciqian晶慈繾娘帝 	 	3444 – 3502TJH 	58yrs 	3462 – 3502TJH 	40yrs
Eldest daughter of Niangdi Chuju. She ascended the throne when her mother died unexpectedly.
During her reign, her twin brother, Yuan Huan, attempted to overthrow her in a coup. They were close, nigh inseparable, in their childhood, but grew apart as Yuan Jiang was being groomed to take the throne.
While she was briefly deposed, her loyalists proved greater than Yuan Huan's support and she was restored. Yuan Huan eventually came back with an army to retake the capital and the throne by force, but Niangdi Ciqian and her government managed to escape. She then, with great reluctance, waged a civil war against her brother to retake the throne.
After five years, she eventually defeated her brother and retook the capital, but, out of love and against the advice of her court, spared his life, merely throwing him in prison for the rest of his natural life. She became his only regular visitor for the remainder of their days. Her mercy, combined with her general gentle nature, earned her her posthumous name.	Eldest daughter of Niangdi Chuju.

Niece of Taishang Niangdi Kanka. Taking the throne at the age of seventeen with the abdication of her aunt, when Niangdi Zisi came to power her reign seemed right for prosperity. But… within a few years of her ascension, around the same time Niangdi Kanka finally died, her love of power and a lavish lifestyle caused her to descend into corruption, leading her down the path of tyranny.
The selfish actions of her reign started a decline of the Jing dynasty when she allowed certain ministers certain illegal activities in exchange for favors meant to increase her own influence and luxuries.
Her reign abruptly ended when he was reluctantly killed by her own sister, Yuan Meiying, the future Niangdi Bugan. They had been close in their youth, but Niangdi Zisi's tyranny led Yuan Meiying to make the heartbreaking decision to assassinate Niangdi Zisi.	Niece of Taishang Niangdi Kanka.

Younger sister of Niangdi Zisi. Titled Kongling Ken Wangfei (空灵肯王妃/Princess Ken of Kongling) during the reign of her aunt and sister, Yuan Meiying reluctantly came to power at the age of twenty-six after killing Niangdi Zisi by stabbing her sister in the heart. They had been close in their youth, but, unable to bear seeing the tyrant that her sister had become, she made the decision to assassinate Niangdi Zisi. Her decision to kill her sister, whom she still loved, caused her endless heartbreak.
Despite never having sought the throne for herself, in fact she asked to be severely punished for the crime of regicide, she was elected niangdi by both her family and the imperial court. She initially declined the throne, instead advocating for some of her other female relatives. She only yielded to the government's decision to install her as monarch when it was suggested that her intention was to end the dynasty.
Depressed and initially unwilling and to take charge of her nation, for several years she left most affairs to her ministers and shut herself away in the palace, only coming to court as a formality, earning her the deserved nickname "Nage Yanwu Niangdi (那個厭惡娘帝/The Reluctant Empress)." Her unwillingness to rule in turn allowed some of the corrupt officials from Niangdi Zisi's reign to continue their illegal activities relatively unhindered.
Six years into her reign, Niangdi Bugan finally took charge of her empire when her own daughter, Yuan Tudi, the future Niangdi Liang, admonished her for letting her guilt blind her from what was truly important: her people. The reality check from her daughter snapped her out of her depression and she became a more active ruler, revitalizing the empire that had been in decline and ending the corruption of the officials that had been running rampant since her predecessor's reign.

Despite never having sought the throne for herself, in fact she asked to be severely punished for the crime of regicide, she was elected niangdi by both her family and the imperial court. She initially declined the throne, instead advocating for some of her other female relatives. She only yielded to the government's decision to install her as monarch when it was suggested that her intention was to end the dynasty.
Depressed and initially unwilling and to take charge of her nation, for several years she left most affairs to her ministers and shut herself away in the palace, only coming to court as a formality, earning her the deserved nickname "Nage Yanwu Niangdi (那個厭惡娘帝/The Reluctant Empress)." Her unwillingness to rule in turn allowed some of the corrupt officials from Niangdi Zisi's reign to continue their illegal activities relatively unhindered.
Six years into her reign, Niangdi Bugan finally took charge of her empire when her own daughter, Yuan Tudi, the future Niangdi Liang, admonished her for letting her guilt blind her from what was truly important: her people. The reality check from her daughter snapped her out of her depression and she became a more active ruler, revitalizing the empire that had been in decline and ending the corruption of the officials that had been running rampant since her predecessor's reign.

Twin brother of Niangdi Ciqian (Yuan Jiang). They were close, nigh inseparable, in their childhood, but grew apart as Yuan Jiang was being groomed to take the throne.
Six years into the reign of his sister, he attempted to orchestrate a coup to become huangdi. While he briefly deposed his sister and proclaimed himself huangdi, his coup failed when the loyalists of Niangdi Ciqian proved too great. But he amassed a great support from many opponents of the women-ruled dynasty. His following turned into an army that retook the capital, expelling the loyalist government. Niangdi Ciqian still managed to escape and Yuan Huan's followers waged a five-year civil war to hold the throne.
Yuan Huan was defeated but not executed. He remained in prison the rest of his life, visited solely by Niangdi Ciqian until their final days.	Twin brother of Niangdi Ciqian (Yuan Jiang).

==Jun Dynasty==
The Jun dynasty was a usurper dynasty whose founder overthrew the Jing dynasty for selfish reasons. Thus the gods denied him and his sons the Mandate of Heaven, and with the regime destabilized from forty years of civil war, the stage was set for the Seven Dynasties & Twelve Kingdoms period.

Luo Hao蓏豪 	Dangao蛋糕 	Huangdi Ganju菌柑橘皇帝 	Xinzu新祖 	3897 – 3991TJH	94yrs 	3939 – 3991TJH	52yrs
He was an alleged descendant of Xiangrikui Gongchan through his father, Luo Yao (蓏要).
The Gongjue of Jun and the last Chengxiang under the Jing dynasty, he came to power when he overthrew Niangdi Chuai, the last monarch of the Jing dynasty, in a palace coup and uprising known by two names: during the Jun dynasty it was referred to by law as the Nanxing Huifu (男性恢復/Masculine Restoration), but following the dynasty's end, Luo Hao's crime made clear, it was forevermore known as Luo Hao de Yuchun (蓏豪的愚蠢/Luo Hao's Folly).
A conservative masculist of the Zhuangshi (壯士/Strong Men) Society, Huangdi Ganju overthrew the Jing dynasty and became huangdi solely to end women-rule and reinstate male-only primogeniture for the first time in centuries. He even moved the capital back to Dongtan and ordered Tangzhai abandoned, forbidding anyone to live there on pain of death, believing the city to be a sickening reminder of women-rule. He originally planned to raze Tangzhai to the ground altogether, but subsequent events prevented him from carrying out the destruction of the city.
His dynasty did not begin peacefully, as the Sisters of the Yellow Dragon – a women-only Wan military order founded during the Western, Central & Northern Dynasties period that had served as the personal army of the Niangdi since the founding of the Jing dynasty – rebelled and began the forty-year Yellow Dragon Rebellion (黃龍叛亂/Huanglong Panluan), a civil war so devastating that it destabilized the Jun dynasty to a point it couldn't recover.
It is for these reasons that he is remembered infamously.
Along with the fact that Huangdi Ganju lived and reigned for a long time, his four sons struggled with infertility. Each of them only had one child each but produced nothing but daughters, and their daughters never had children. As Huangdi Ganju's usurpation of the Jing dynasty was meant to restore patriarchal rule, he forbade women from claiming the throne as soon as he took it, and it was for this reason that the throne passed between his four sons following very brief reigns until the end of the dynasty. Most religious scholars believe that the inability of Huangdi Ganju's sons' and granddaughters' to produce male heirs was a karmic curse cast upon them by the gods, as punishment for his selfish usurpation of the Jing dynasty, thus denying him the Mandate of Heaven.
As most of his other male relatives were long-deceased or scattered, with no man to assume the throne with the end of his youngest son's reign nearing, and with the empire still unstable following the Yellow Dragon Rebellion, the empire fell apart into the chaos of the Seven Dynasties & Twelve Kingdoms Period until the conquest of Tianchao by the Gergazartan Khaganate and the establishment of the Lin dynasty.

The Gongjue of Jun and the last Chengxiang under the Jing dynasty, he came to power when he overthrew Niangdi Chuai, the last monarch of the Jing dynasty, in a palace coup and uprising known by two names: during the Jun dynasty it was referred to by law as the Nanxing Huifu (男性恢復/Masculine Restoration), but following the dynasty's end, Luo Hao's crime made clear, it was forevermore known as Luo Hao de Yuchun (蓏豪的愚蠢/Luo Hao's Folly).
A conservative masculist of the Zhuangshi (壯士/Strong Men) Society, Huangdi Ganju overthrew the Jing dynasty and became huangdi solely to end women-rule and reinstate male-only primogeniture for the first time in centuries. He even moved the capital back to Dongtan and ordered Tangzhai abandoned, forbidding anyone to live there on pain of death, believing the city to be a sickening reminder of women-rule. He originally planned to raze Tangzhai to the ground altogether, but subsequent events prevented him from carrying out the destruction of the city.
His dynasty did not begin peacefully, as the Sisters of the Yellow Dragon – a women-only Wan military order founded during the Western, Central & Northern Dynasties period that had served as the personal army of the Niangdi since the founding of the Jing dynasty – rebelled and began the forty-year Yellow Dragon Rebellion (黃龍叛亂/Huanglong Panluan), a civil war so devastating that it destabilized the Jun dynasty to a point it couldn't recover.
It is for these reasons that he is remembered infamously.
Along with the fact that Huangdi Ganju lived and reigned for a long time, his four sons struggled with infertility. Each of them only had one child each but produced nothing but daughters, and their daughters never had children. As Huangdi Ganju's usurpation of the Jing dynasty was meant to restore patriarchal rule, he forbade women from claiming the throne as soon as he took it, and it was for this reason that the throne passed between his four sons following very brief reigns until the end of the dynasty. Most religious scholars believe that the inability of Huangdi Ganju's sons' and granddaughters' to produce male heirs was a karmic curse cast upon them by the gods, as punishment for his selfish usurpation of the Jing dynasty, thus denying him the Mandate of Heaven.

==Lin Dynasty==
An Arslan-ruled conquest dynasty, established through taking advantage of the chaos of the Seven Dynasties & Twelve Kingdoms period. While non-Gao ethnicities had ruled Tianchao before, the Lin dynasty was the first non-Wan dynasty to rule Tianchao. The first three monarchs of the Lin dynasty were also rulers of the Gergazartan Khaganate, as Lin was founded as a division of the Khaganate (sort of like dual monarchy: two mostly autonomous states ruled by a single monarch); said three were also elected by a body known as the kurultai (), as were the six Khagans before them. The kurultai are were council of senior khans whose job it was to choose the next khagan from a series of candidates from the ruling family or another powerful clan.
The first six rulers of the Gergazartan Khaganate were never huangdi in their lifetime, but were posthumously declared so following the foundation of the Lin dynasty.
Following the death of Khundet Khagan in a far-away land, a coup by a rival clan forced the Altanzul clan out of power in Gergazar, resulting in the complete separation of the Lin dynasty from Khaganate, as well as the general collapse of Gergazartan hegemony throughout much of the continent. Beginning with Baatar Khagan, the use of the kurultai to choose a ruler was also ceased by the rulers of Lin dynasty, who began passing the throne by right of blood or seniority rather than let a council choose.
Even before independence from Gergazar, the ruling family made efforts at Cathization for ease of rule, but retained most of their traditional ways.

Sixth Khagan of the Gergazartan Khaganate. Posthumously honored as Huangdi of Tianchao by Möngtai Khagan in 4080TJH.
Though not the founder of the Lin dynasty, he was given a temple name that implied he was as he laid the foundation for the conquest of Tianchao.
During his lifetime, even before his reign, he set his sights on conquering Tianchao – known as Ömnöd Khaant (/Southern Kingdom) to the Arslan – torn asunder by the Seven Dynasties & Twelve Kingdoms period since the fall of the Jun dynasty.
Elected Khagan by the kurultai at the age of twenty-two, as soon as his ascension was affirmed he took advantage of the ongoing conflicts to invade what was then acknowledged as the borders of Tianchao and secured the whole of the Pianpilu (called Övöggazar () by the Arslan), including what remained of the Bogino Khanate at the time. His aspirations included the conquest of the lands to the south across the sea and made plans for a naval invasion of Zanghuan (called Zöölgazar () by the Arslan); however, he did not live do see his ambitions fulfilled. His reign and conquests were cut short when he was slain by an assassin on the eve of his planned invasion of the south; credit for the assassination was never claimed by anyone, but most believe it was carried out by the Huangjing Cike.

Elected Khagan by the kurultai at the age of twenty-two, as soon as his ascension was affirmed he took advantage of the ongoing conflicts to invade what was then acknowledged as the borders of Tianchao and secured the whole of the Pianpilu (called Övöggazar () by the Arslan), including what remained of the Bogino Khanate at the time. His aspirations included the conquest of the lands to the south across the sea and made plans for a naval invasion of Zanghuan (called Zöölgazar () by the Arslan); however, he did not live do see his ambitions fulfilled. His reign and conquests were cut short when he was slain by an assassin on the eve of his planned invasion of the south; credit for the assassination was never claimed by anyone, but most believe it was carried out by the Huangjing Cike.	Sixth Khagan of the Gergazartan Khaganate. Posthumously honored as Huangdi of Tianchao by Möngtai Khagan in 4080TJH.

Eldest son of Zorigtoi Khagan, seventh Khagan of the Gergazartan Khaganate and founder of the Lin dynasty. Elected to the Gergazartan throne by the kurultai at the age of seventeen, he intended to take over where his father left off and invade Zanghuan, but securing his place as the rightful khagan to succeed his father, in competition with his uncles, his father's brothers, proved to be a daunting endeavor that took him two decades to achieve despite his election.
With his place secure, he finally launched the invasion of Zanghuan in 4074TJH. Within two years he conquered two Wanzu splinter kingdoms and the imperial capital of the Man dynasty, the last of the Seven Dynasties. With the capital under control and the imperial seal in his hands, he proclaimed the establishment of the Lin dynasty as a division of the Khaganate, declared himself huangdi of Tianchao and claimed the Mandate of Heaven. Within another year he crushed the last remnants of the Man dynasty, ending the Seven Dynasties. He made plans conquer the rest of Tianchao, but a need to rest the army and rebuild the infrastructure of his conquered lands forced him to pause his campaign for several years.
Fascinated by Wan culture and traditions from a young age, under him the Altanzul clan began the slow process of Cathization, becoming more and more like the people they had conquered.
By the end of the first decade of Möngtai Khagan's reign as huangdi, the entirety of Zanghuan was secured – save for the Hang and Sang kingdoms to the far south, whose successor states would later go on to form Dongbalian.
Möngtai Khagan intended to invade and conquer Guangdai (known as Örgönörnöd () to the Arslan), but by the time Zanghuan was secured he and his armies were again militarily exhausted and required many more years to rebuild, along with the infrastructure of his newly conquered territories. other issues halted any and all invasion plans as well. Economic and logistic problems, along with cross-channel attacks by the Xiyi to the east (which led to the conquest of the Xiyi-ruled splinter kingdom and Qiulu itself), further delayed Möngtai Khagan's planned invasion of Guangdai. A rebellion by a loyalist holdout of the Man dynasty also kept him from pushing forward with the invasion. His invasion of Guangdai never came to fruition before the end of his reign and he died with the ambition of his father still only partially fulfilled.

Third son of Möngtai Khagan, second ruler of the Lin dynasty and eighth Khagan of Gergazar. Elected Khagan at the age of thirty-six after the death of his father, superseding his elder brothers mainly by popularity.
He was the first huangdi of the Lin dynasty to actually rule it from a place in Zanghuan, choosing the newly-founded Tovguren (托夫格伦/) – now known as Waiyang (外央) – as his capital. His reasoning for moving the capital to Zanghuan rather than keeping it in the Arslan homeland was to assert dominance over the Wan world. Little did he realize that this would work against his clan in regards to Gergazartan politics later.
Within two years into his reign he set out to conquer the splinter kingdoms in Guangdai for the the Lin dynasty, finishing the job started by Zorigtoi Khagan and Möngtai Khagan. By the twenty year mark of his reign, the entirety of what was then acknowledged as Tianchao in Guangdai was secured, ending the Twelve Kingdoms and finally ending the Seven Dynasties & Twelve Kingdoms period, and fulfilling the ambitions of his father and grandfather.

He was the first huangdi of the Lin dynasty to actually rule it from a place in Zanghuan, choosing the newly-founded Tovguren (托夫格伦/) – now known as Waiyang (外央) – as his capital. His reasoning for moving the capital to Zanghuan rather than keeping it in the Arslan homeland was to assert dominance over the Wan world.

Third ruler of the Lin dynasty, and ninth and last Khagan of Gergazar from Altanzul clan.

Khundet Khagan died during the Siege of Hansei (繁星の包囲) against the defending forces of both the Yamato Empire and local daimyo, slain in a duel with Shintoki-tenno himself. His empire in Fuso was recaptured by Yamatai within the following year. His corpse was never returned to Tianchao and was believed to be lost forever; even today his final resting place in unknown, yet it is believed to be somewhere in the vicinity of Hansei, the site of his defeat.
His sudden death so far from home without naming an heir – and worse the kurultai was unable to come to a consensus on the election of a new khagan, in part because Khundet Khagan's branch of the Altanzul clan had mostly gone native with the Wan – resulted in a succession dispute that saw the Altanzul clan being ousted from their position position as Khagan of Gergazar, and the fragmentation of the Khaganate into five separate states.

Khundet Khagan's tenth son and fourteenth overall child via various concubines Baatar Khagan was the fourth ruler of the Lin dynasty, but was the first not to be elected by the kurultai, and the first to be independent of the Gergazartan Khaganate.
Because Khundet Khagan died in Fuso without naming an heir, a succession dispute erupted between Baatar Khagan, his brothers and rival clans. The primary origin of the dispute was that the kurultai was unable to come to a consensus on a new Khagan, nor were the majority of it willing to elect a candidate who's family had both gone native with the Wan and had never set foot in the Arslan homelands. Furthermore, six of his elder brothers, most of whom were born to Khundet's legal wife, believed him unworthy of the throne. While Baatar didn't have the backing of his nearest blood relatives, he still had his own supporters, and after weeks of intense nonviolent infighting within the imperial palace, Baatar and six of his elder brothers declared themselves khagan & huangdi, setting the stage for civil war.
In the end, within a year after Khundet Khagan's death, the Khaganate fragmented into five states: 
* Gergazar itself fell under the reign of the Tunadas () clan under Tuimer Khagan ().
* Baatar Khagan won succession of the Lin dynasty as undisputed huangdi after defeating four of his brothers in battle – killing three of them, one by his own hand in a fierce duel – while the other two gave up their claim.
* The northern sector became split between the resurgent Boginotan Khanate & the Shengwai-ruled Shuang (雙) dynasty.
* The territories in Guangdai became the Sinjok-ruled Gwan (관/棺) dynasty.
* The Island of Qiulu broke away into the Xiyi-ruled Pan (磐) dynasty.
Baatar Khagan and his successors continued to rule the Lin dynasty independently as hereditary monarchs unbound by the kurultai, while still retaining the title of Khagan for themselves.

Daughter of Taitan Khagan and the first female ruler of the Lin dynasty.
An admirer of the Jing dynasty, she ordered the restoration and refurbishment of the dynasty's old capital, Tangzhai, including the Jing imperial palace (晶皇宮), though she never ordered the capital moved there, she did have a separate palace built as a personal residence for the imperial family. Tangzhai had been repopulating itself slowly as more and more people had been moving there since the fall of the Jun dynasty, which had forbade any civilian occupation of the city when it overthrew the Jing dynasty. She also granted the former dynasty's ruling family, the since-destitute Yuan clan, the hereditary title Wanghou of Jing (晶王后/Jing Wanghou) and allowed them to reoccupy the old Jing Imperial Palace.

Tangzhai had been repopulating itself slowly as more and more people had been moving there since the fall of the Jun dynasty, which had forbade any civilian occupation of the city when it overthrew the Jing dynasty. She also granted the former dynasty's ruling family, the since-destitute Yuan clan, the hereditary title Wanghou of Jing (晶王后/Jing Wanghou) and allowed them to reoccupy the old Jing Imperial Palace.

Initiated the Second Arslan Invasion of Fuso; another failure.
An ambitious and militaristic ruler, he sought to reassert Tianchao's dominance through the conquest and subjugation of a once apparently inconquerable foe. He was desperate to show strength given that, while the Lin dynasty had been independent since the Khaganate's fragmentation, he and his family remained an initially foreign ethnic group. While the Altanzul clan had since fully Cathized since Möngtai Khagan's reign, while keeping many Arslan traditions alive, many pro-Wan traditionalists and religious figures remained unable to reconcile the notion that they remained under the rule of foreigners, and thus the imperial family struggled to maintain its authority over a nation mostly comprised of many different (mostly Wanzu) ethnic groups.
The hotheaded and militaristic Sarsorvi Khagan had never been popular to begin with, and many believed that his invasion of Yamatai was a foolhardy endeavor. This opinion reversed somewhat following the invasion's initial success, but the initial view was renewed when the tide turned against Tianchao in Fuso, in particular in the aftermath of the betrayal and defection of the Lin dynasty's best general, Altanzul Shonkor (), aka Shonkor Khan (), Sarsorvi Khagan's half-brother.
The defeat of his invasion after much initial success weakened his position and Lin dynasty considerably, and the authority of the non-Wan imperial family was once again called into question. In shame, Sarsorvi Khagan abdicated while the peace treaty was being negotiated, believing that the empire would collapse following such a humiliating defeat and did not want to be the sitting ruler when it happened. However, his abdication turned out to be what saved the Lin dynasty, as his nephew and successor, Zaltsus Khagan, turned out to be a much more temperate and diplomatic ruler.
Even more ashamed that his nephew succeeded where he failed at restoring the Imperial House of Altanzul's authority and the faith of the public, Sarsorvi Khagan spent the rest of his life in self-exile.	Initiated the Second Arslan Invasion of Fuso; another failure.

Nephew of Sarsorvi Khagan. He ascended to the throne following his uncle's abdication during the negotiations for the peace treaty that ended hostilities with Yamatai. A much more temperate and diplomatic ruler, his ascension turned out to be what saved the Lin dynasty.
His first acts as huangdi were issuing a series of reforms meant to help the empire recover, both from decades of war and the economic cost of the treaty. He even gave favorable terms to the Yamato in an attempt to foster future peaceful relations. Later in his reign he tried to broker a mutually-beneficial trade treaty with Yamatai, yet Yamato distrust of the Tianzu prevented anything from coming to fruition. Regardless, his efforts won him popularity with the people of Tianchao. A change in leadership saved the Lin dynasty from collapse, at least for the foreseeable future.	Nephew of Sarsorvi Khagan.

Only daughter of Zaltsus Khagan.
From the age of eight she was raised in Yamatai as a hostage as part of the peace agreement that ended hostilities following the Second Arlsan Invasion of Fuso. There she became a close friend, and rumored lover, of Orihime-tenno.
At the age of twenty-three Sumiyaa was returned to Tianchao as part of an attempt at normalization of relations. Once back in the Lin court for the first time in years, she used what she had learned in the imperial court of Yamatai to earn her place in the politics of the empire, which not only earned her the favor of her father, and her status as his heir, but popularity of the people. When her father died five years later, she became the second, and last, female ruler of the Lin dynasty.	Only daughter of Zaltsus Khagan.

==Shuang Dynasty==
A Shengwai-ruled splinter dynasty, centered in the Bianjing region of Pianpilu, that seceded into independence with the fragmentation the Gergazartan Khaganate following the death of Khundet Khagan, within months of the Altanzul clan's ousting from rulership of Gergazar.
Uniquely from any other dynasty of Tianchao, the Shuang dynasty always had two co-rulers at a time, ruled by two families descended from the two rulers who founded the dynasty, twin brothers Hanleng Sansun & Hanleng Dongmu, sons of revolutionary leader Henleng Fengfu. 
Following the untimely death of the father in battle, both brothers stepped up to lead the cause in his place. They adopted a different stance though; instead they had the rebel army temporarily disband until it was time to gather again. Immediately after hearing the news of the death of Khundet Khagan, the brothers sounded the call, the army regrouped within days, and within months carved out their empire in northern Marlakcor.
Unlike the Gwan and Pan dynasties, which endured for over a century but were eventually reconquered by the Lin dynasty, the Shuang dynasty endured for the better part of five centuries, contemporaneously with the Lin, Hang, Tun, and early-Lei dynasties, enduring many wars with Tianchao, Gergazar and Bogino until it was finally conquered by the Lei dynasty. It is for this reason that is considered a true dynasty of Tianchao rather than a simple breakaway state, even though it never ruled any part of Zanghuan, the cradle of Wanzu civilization.
The rulers also used two different titles, Chihuang (赤皇) and Baihuang (白皇) respectively, not only to differentiate their offices but to differentiate themselves from Tianchao, still under Arslan-Lin rule at the time of the dynasty's inception.

==Hang Dynasty==
The Hang dynasty was a usurper dynasty that overthrew the Arslan-ruled Lin dynasty. The founding of the dynasty is met with mixed views, as some laud the return of native rule to Tianchao while others condemn the disposition of a peaceful monarch. Either way, the dynasty didn't endure for even a century and was never able to achieve prosperity. It's entire tenure was dedicated to fighting the Yamato Empire, which invaded the western mainland the same year the dynasty was inaugurated. Economic collapse following nearly a century of fighting led to a peasant revolt, resulting in the collapse of the Hang and the establishment of the Xiyi-ruled Tun dynasty, a transition known as the Hang–Tun War (航–吞戰/Hang–Tun Zhan).

==Notes & Trivia==
*The lifetime and reign years use the Luan calendar years. There is a 421-year difference between the Luan calendar and the Solramese calendar. I.e. 0TJH = 421ACZ. To get the equivalent year to the Solramese calendar, subtract 421 from the year. Note: negative Solramese years, years before year 0, are suffixed ACZ, while years 0 and after are suffixed PCZ.
*The Wan characters of the posthumous names of rulers, if applicable, are the name of the dynasty, the name, and their title, in that order.
*For rulers whose reigns ended before they died, this is an indicator that they abdicated or were somehow deposed without being executed.
