In principle, Grand Cathay is ruled by the Celestial Dragon Emperor and Moon Empress, who are revered by the populace. The rulers of Cathay are a family of immortal dragons who are powerful spellcasters, and can shapeshift into human form. Because of this isolation, Grand Cathay long ago constructed the Great Bastion, a huge fortification along their northern border which guards against incursions by Hobgoblins as well as marauding bands of Hung, Kurgan and other forces of Chaos.
Contact and trade with the High Elves and human nations of the Old World has increased in recent times, but travel between east and west is still dangerous. However, they are also located far from other order-aligned nations, and tend to be somewhat isolationist. Grand Cathay is a powerful nation of order that stands against Chaos. Grand Cathay itself is a huge and diverse country, with desert in the west, mighty rivers and farmland in the center, great coastal cities in the east, and forested mountain foothills in the south.
Southwest, across the Mountains of Heaven, lies the land of Ind. Located in the Far East, Grand Cathay is bordered to the west by the Mountains of Mourn, to the east by the Far Sea, to the south by Khuresh and to the north by the Eastern Steppes and Chaos Wastes. Grand Cathay is the largest empire in the Warhammer Fantasy setting.
