Warlord Son Lóng

Chief of Clan Son Lóng Son (a.k.a. "The Dragon Lord")

Born in the very fringes of the North to Chief Gōng of Clan Son, Son Lóng was destined for greatness from day one. The name Lóng is the greatest honour any Ling Wei can have, with it literally translating to dragon. And thus far Son Lóng has not forsaken that honour. After the death of his father, Lóng began a great conquest of the other Ling Wei clans. In just 7 years the entirety of the frozen fields were his, and he was crowned Warlord of the Ling Wei, a title not granted since the conquests of Yo Cho nearly 400 years prior. As soon as the crown of foxgloves were laid upon his head, Warlord Lóng took the Ling Wei south into the Marcher Kingdoms. It was not long before he broke through the borders of Coraxia. In his first battle against the army of Coraxia, the Warlord slew Emperor Lothar and routed his army. For 16 years he fought his way through the Empire, raising cities and brutalising armies. But all men must meet their end, and Warlord Lóng met his at the hands of Emperor Pipin, son of Lothar. With his death, the Ling Wei routed and ran back to the northern steppe.

Personal history

For hundreds of year Clan Son had been slowly declining in prestige, they had once been a great and well-respected clan, with the long deceased Chief Son Hú being chief advisor to Warlord Zhu Zhióng. But that would all change upon the birth of Chief Son Gōng's first child. As the Chieftain waited outside his wife's birthing tent, he noticed a great shadow lingering in the sky. As the shadow grew ever closer he noticed its slender, scaly body, bat-like wings and the plumes of smoke that poured from it's nostrils. An ancient red dragon! As the beast finally made its way over the camp, Gōng's wife's handmaiden appeared from the tent, a babe in her arms. With a face filled with both terror and elation, Gōng took his son his arms and proudly declared his name. Son Lóng, the Dragon of the Son! A name so rare and prestigious it was thought to be reserved only for the god's chosen.   Being born a child of the Chieftain, Lóng was given the best education in tactics and warfare, his prestigious name only furthered this. Every second of every day was spent training for the position of commander and Chieftain, something he was most gracious for. He took part in his first battle at age 12 - taking a girl named Héhuā as his wife the night before - and lead his first warband at age 15. His tactical genius meant he won all but one battle. He even pioneered stratagems; since time immemorial the Ling Wei had focused primarily on mounted archers and hit-and-run tactics, Son Lóng invested heavily in crossbow technology and mercenary mages with the vast riches his people had acquired from raids. However, the horse archer still remained a vital part of his armies structure.   As the years rolled on, Chief Gōng grew more ill as his age and years of hard-fought warfare slowly caught up to him. Until on the day of Son Lóng's 20th year, he collapsed on the floor, his heart had ruptured. After a long week of mourning, Son Lóng was appointed Chief of Clan Son by the clan shamans. As soon as his appointment ceremony, Chief Lóng began his long campaign of conquest. With Clan Son in toe, Chief Lóng swept across the North defeating army after army, only returning to the clan camp each time he killed a thousand men all by himself. His conquest was so terrible and swift that he garnered a glorious epithet - something only the greatest of conqueror's (those that will be Warlord) achieve - he was to be named the "Dragon Lord". Even now, after six long year, the Dragon Lord takes his army across the North absorbing all the clans he conquerors. It is said that on the Hépíng Zhōu (Week of Peace), the Ling Wei shamans are to crown him Warlord of all the Ling Wei, something that strikes fear in the heart's of the people of the Radiant Nexus!
