Yuan Bo starting off in Lustria?

[Lunatic Cultist]

The administrator of Cathay starts off in Lustria of all places, whats the logic? that seems more like something the Water Dragon should be doing and the Jade Dragon would of helped buffed Cathay from the invading druchii.

It means to have 2 settlements in Grand Cathay and Lustria, it could be a hint that the Water Dragon will be somewhere in Lustria as an allied faction.

Players have long demanded multiple start locations for factions, even if it does not make much sense, and CA generally tries to give the players what they want. Much to my chagrin.

Game reason: Likely race and starting location variety.

Lore reason: Seems to be that he is trying to highjack part of the lizardmen geomantic web (for whatever plan the dragon emperor has cooked up).

if you don't want him in lustria, just abandon your lustria holdings and move him back.

Only issue with that plan would be there likely is some campaign objectives tied to the lustria area, though you could just put them off till you've stabalised fully in lustria

He is looking for places for his dad there same has realms of chaos just different targets.

He is the golden boy of the kids even if he is jade colored and seems the most trusted of both mom and dad

from what we saw in the video, yes. A lot of his stuff is lizardman settlements he needs to take.

One thing I did like was that it seems like his campaign will have a climactic battle.

Its immortal empires so whatever. His start makes sense in Realms of Chaos so that is fine

Weill the start in immortal empires makes sense also considering what he is looking for and the type stuff the old one flunkies protect tor hang around. plus lets face the dragons likely want to put the boot the followers of the old one, given it was there world long before the old ones came. so the dragons of Cathay purging lizards makes sense.

I believe there is a bit lore after Yin Yin (Sea Dragons) failure to invade the southlands and apparently not knowing lustria even existed. Forces split, one went east and ended up in lustria and the other went west and got wiped out by the Slaan in the southlands.

Upon failure i believe she was scolded by her father and the emperor later discussed the failure with Yuan Bo. There is some great plan by the Dragon Emperor that nobody knows anything about apart from Yuan Bo apparently knowing some intentions of his fathers plan.

This is sort of the jist of it. I think Loremaster of Sotek covers this in his Yuan Bo lets play video.
