ELDEST DRAGON CHILDREN

[Kagerou]

I just learned that SHIYAMA is originally the eldest child of the Dragon Emperor but unfortunately she was slain before the other dragon children s opened their eyes.. so my question is WHO KILLED SHIYAMA?

No one knows, this si very recent Lore, it has not been fleshed out, and likely never will, because GW already abandoned any plans for Cathay, in the Old World game they are releasing.

It did not increase popularity of the setting in China, and instead the way Cathay was handled grated on the actual playerbase and fanbase that actually does buy models.

The ultra respectful, super safe, high fantasy Cathay, contrasts too heavily with teh absolute darkness and despair of the setting, in a terrible way. It is too foreign and strange.

Cathay is hardly any of that, imo. What makes you think that? Cause according to lore, Cathay is shrouded in propaganda while the nation is threatened from all sides, no different to the nations of the Old World. On top of that, Cathay has fallen to civil war a fair few times between the dragon siblings which is how the Monkey King ended up taking the nation with ease which was the only thing whipping the siblings back into cooperative shape to take back the land.
On top of that, the Dragon Emperor seems to be an ever-absent presence, yet the people of Cathay are still indoctrinated into servitude and worship for a being that couldn't care any less of their well-being (as the peasants are very blatantly referred to as an expendable resource). Chaos Cultists also have a presence within Cathay as does Clan Eshin. They're cut off from the rest of the world by vast ocean or the extremely hostile Mountains of Mourn (which is a terrifying prospect imo, as it means they have no reliable, nearby allies to call upon nor anywhere to escape) where Ogres regularly raid or extort their caravans. And those lucky enough to outmaneuver the ogres still have to cross through the barren, polluted Dark Lands while avoiding Chaos Dwarfs and their Hobgoblin lackeys. Not sure what you mean by 'foreign and strange' though. They're Warhammer's East Asians. Of course it's 'foreign and strange'.

How anyone thinks this isn't suiting to the Warhammer world is kinda bizarre.

Whoever you want it to be. Cathay lore is semi fanfiction anyway.
