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.

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. |

||
+ | 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. |
||
+ | |||
+ | During the reign of Huangdi Liangjiong, Huangdi Tanlan's personal diaries were discovered, 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 that Huangdi Tanlan used the affair to establish cause by falsely passing it off as his mother's affair, whom were no longer alive to dispute his claim, 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 dynasty that would endure to the end of its reign, though they were not made public until the Zhai dynasty. |

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 Jing dynasty. |

||
+ | | colspan="9" |Grandnephew of Huangdi Tanlan and the third ruler of the Jing 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 feeling between the clans resolved, Huangdi Liangjiong and Qingse Jing (posthumously name Hunaghou 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 Jing 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. |

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 inactive rulership also caused the government to descend into corruption and saw the formation of various factions, either supporting one of his brothers to succeed him or for someone else to replace the dynasty. |
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 hunaghou. |

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, Ji, Zao, Gao, Mo, 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 Mo 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)
- Rulers of the Arslan-ruled Lin dynasty were also titled "Khagan (可汗/ᠬᠠᠭᠠᠨ)"
- Such titles include old titles such as qiu and wang, but other titles used including:

Ji dynasty
The Ji dynasty is the namesake of the collective Jiti (集體) people, and in turn the more ethnic names of the empire, Jibang (集邦)/Jiyu (集宇). The Ji dynasty actually existed concurrently with four other tribes, but united the lands of its neighbors into a single unified state for the first time.

Qiang dynasty
The first imperial dynasty of Tianchao.
The Kingdom of Qiang was originally founded as a vassal of the Mo 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 (治)" clan.
During the Qiang dynasty's reign the empire was referred to as "Tianchao (天朝)" for diplomatic purposes, but with the dynasty's end the name fell out of use until the Zhai dynasty officially adopted it by law.

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 Mo 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. One of only a handful of recognized female monarchs of a unified period (aside for the Qin dynasty, which was ruled entirely by women), Huangdi Ziyuan was the longest-serving ruler of the Qiang dynasty. | ||||||||

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. | ||||||||

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. | ||||||||

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. 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. | ||||||||

Founder of the Jing dynasty. Gong of Jing 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. During the reign of Huangdi Liangjiong, Huangdi Tanlan's personal diaries were discovered, 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 that Huangdi Tanlan used the affair to establish cause by falsely passing it off as his mother's affair, whom were no longer alive to dispute his claim, 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 dynasty that would endure to the end of its reign, though they were not made public until the Zhai 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 Jing dynasty. He died of illness after only six years on the throne. | ||||||||

Grandnephew of Huangdi Tanlan and the third ruler of the Jing 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 feeling between the clans resolved, Huangdi Liangjiong and Qingse Jing (posthumously name Hunaghou 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 Jing 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. | ||||||||

Last huangdi of the Zhai dynasty. Youngest son of Huangdi Zhixu and younger brother of Huangdi Zhamen.
Dominated by regents for his entire reign, Huangdi Ang's reign saw the complete deterioration of central Zhai rule into the hands of regional warlords. Enthroned at the age of seven as a puppet monarch for the tyrannical Huai Gui, Chengxiang of Zhai until his assassination, and then kept in a ceremonial position under Qi Pin, self-titled Shahuang (沙皇) of Zhai. Following his defeat of Qi Pin, Huangdi Ang was under the thumb of Chengxiang Kong Song for most of the rest of his reign. He was forced to abdicate to Kong Hao, Kong Song's son and successor, ending the Zhai dynasty and beginning the Four Kingdoms period. Robbed of his throne, he was given the title Gong of Tian but spent his remaining days in self-exile. | ||||||||

Lin Lin was a female ruler, one of only a handful recognized in Tianzu history, aside for the women-ruled Qin 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 Qi Pin, then the self-titled Shahuang 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. | |||||||||

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 Lingjiao 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. 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.
Also, being of a race with great longevity (usually), the huangdi of the Hun dynasty 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 dynasties – the Hun dynasty was the last dynasty of the Classical Imperial Era.

First huangdi of the Hun dynasty. Before becoming huangdi, he was 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 to force Huangdi Mashu to abdicate to him, but Huangdi Mashu resisted. And so, rather than kill Huangdi Mashu, Huangdi Qishi placed him under house arrest, took control of the government, and declared himself huangdi of the Hun dynasty. Huangdi Qishi pressed Huangdi Mashu for his abdication for three years until he finally broke him and convinced him to abdicate, ending the Lai 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. |

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 – 2167ᴀꜰᴢ/2575 – 2588ᴛᴊʜ). Most historians believe and agree that Mihan Keyi provoked the wars between the twelve wangzi in a vain, foolish, and ill-fated attempt to establish supreme hegemony over the realm from behind the throne, or perhaps even usurp the throne herself. | ||||||||

Three of the Northern Dynasties were rule by ethnically Tukhii/Shengwai families. By this time the Tukhii had only been partially Jitized, and so they used both Jiti and Tukhii names for their kingdoms, the former for diplomatic purposes with Jiti kingdoms.

Younger brother of Huangdi Jinglao, coming to power by usurpation after poisoning his brother and father. 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. Midway through his reign he was faced rebellion and civil war to remove him from power, but the conflicts ended up deadlocked through the rest of his reign through to the end of the dynasty under his successor.
Died of a plague that swept through the empire and claimed the lives of half a million people near the end of his reign, an event seen by sages of the time and historians as harsh divine retribution. | ||||||||

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. | ||||||||
Claimants
Individuals who claimed the imperial title while fighting the civil war to remove Huangdi Qipian from power or simply take it for themselves. Many of these claimants endured for long after the extinction of the Zan dynasty until their final submission at the hands of the Qiu dynasty.

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-Yinghui 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). Mijingyu Linpian, 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 Xiuhuang (羞皇/Disgraced Emperor) as part of his posthumous 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.

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.
Huangdi Shui Bude Mingming, 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 Xiuhuang (羞皇/Disgraced 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. So infamous is he that during and since 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: Huangdi Shui Bude Mingming (皇帝誰不得命名/Emperor Who Shall Not be Named). 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 scratched from history to prevent anyone from finding him. Jiti 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. | ||||||||

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 Yinghui rule to Tianchao for the first time in almost two centuries.
Generally regarded as the sole true huangdi of the Jia dynasty. While lauded as a hero for ending the tyrannical rule of Huangdi Shui Bude Mingming and the Qiu dynasty, he was well known for his drunken temperament and general lack of interest in actually ruling the empire. 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 inactive rulership also caused the government to descend into corruption and saw the formation of various factions, either supporting one of his brothers to succeed him or for someone else to replace the dynasty. 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 hunaghou. | ||||||||
Claimants
Huangdi Zui is generally regarded as the only true huangdi of the Jia dynasty. The reign and conflict of his assumed son and brothers, 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, Pang Long, also known as Huangdi Xiong, 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. Huangdi Zui's huanghou, known to history as Jin Ting (尽挺), deceived him into thinking he was. The common belief among historians is that he was born of an affair between Jin Ting and her childhood friend from before her marriage.
He 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. He was known as a selfish tyrant whose policies made the common people suffer, though 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 executed his own mother, and kept his empire on the path of civil war. He was killed along with many of his nearest relatives in a palace coup initiated by Song De, who became the founder of the Gun dynasty, replacing the Jia. | ||||||||

Huangdi Zui's younger brother. Declared himself huangdi within days of Pang Wu's enthronement. Died in the Battle of Rongke against the armies of the breakaway San dynasty.
Huangdi Xiong was the last of the self-declared huangdi of the Jia dynasty to die. The Gun dynasty had been founded two years prior, and, with most of the imperial Pang clan dead or scattered, his death officially ended the Jia dynasty, though the wider aspects of War of the Seven Emperors would continue for another five years. Though a pretender, he was the last of the imperial Pang clan to hold the title, albeit illegally; and so, historians and scholars traditionally count Huangdi Xiong among the official list of huangdi as the final monarch of the Jia dynasty for conclusionary reasons. | ||||||||

Save for some serious border disputes with the other two breakaway kingdoms and the Pang clan claimants, Ren Jizhi mostly managed to stay out of the fighting between the other six huangdi. 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 kings" via proxy 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. Stripped of his titles, and quietly lived out the rest of his days in retirement, undisturbed and practically forgotten by the Gun government. | ||||||||

He learned the truth about Pang Wu's parentage by accident in the last days of Huangdi Zui's reign, but the latter died before he could tell him. Unable to stop Huangdi Hunwai from coming to power, and realizing that Huangdi Zui's brothers were going to contend for the throne themselves, Na Bin fled the capital and soon declared independence, with the eventual aim of conquering Tianchao once the four false huangdi of the Pang clan had killed each other off. Died of illness the same day his armies defeated Huangdi Xiong. His death is widely considered the beginning of the end for his self-proclaimed dynasty. | ||||||||

Founder of the Gun dynasty. Wang 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.
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. | ||||||||

The last huangdi of the Gun dynasty, his reign saw the end of patriarchal rule to the matriarchal Qin dynasty for over six-and-a-half centuries.
When the capital fell at the end of the Cixing War, he committed suicide once he had heard Qin forces had breached the palace defenses rather than be executed or forced to abdicate. Out of respect for his resolve, Huangdi Cuilu, the founder of the Qin dynasty, decreed he be given a posthumous name, but not a temple name. | ||||||||
Qin 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 Qin dynasty was the only unity period dynasty ruled entirely by women, with the title passed mother to daughter matrilineally. Monarchs of the Qin dynasty used the title Niangdi (娘帝), and all children of the the niangdi took their mother's surname as well.
Enduring for over six-and-a-half centuries, it is longest imperial dynasty in the history of Tianchao, and is also famous for being the longest period of female-preference 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 Qin 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.

The founder of the Qin dynasty.
Her parents were named Sheng Jin (繩筋) and Yuan Lin (媛琳). Yuan Lan's mother, Yuan Lin, 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 Lin 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 stripping her nude in public, she kept her head high and never let herself be silenced. Influential and charismatic, she accumulated some sympathetic listeners, both freemen and fellow slaves, and even some sympathetic nobles, some who turned into devoted followers; among them was Tian Mili (甜蜜梨); styled Aifeng (爱蜂), a young noblegirl who was her oldest friend and sworn sister, and lover. When she was twenty-one, Yuan Lan's mother was arrested and imprisoned in an attempt to shut her down, but that was the final straw for her. With support from Tian Mili's family, led a slave revolt in Dongtan (東灘), 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, at the behest of her most loyal retainers – who believed that the sudden growth and support of her rebellion meant that the Gun dynasty had lost the Mandate of Heaven and had been granted to her – Yuan Lan declared a new dynasty, naming her dynasty "Qin (親)," and coined the imperial title of "Niangdi (娘帝)." Her declaration was met with applause from her entire army and retinue. Her cause then waged war against the Gun dynasty, a conflict known to history as the Cixing War (雌性戰爭) (3277 – 3284ᴛᴊʜ/2856 – 2863ᴀꜰᴢ). The final conquest of the capital seven years later saw the deposition of Huangdi Tanpan and the end of the Gun dynasty. Huangdi Tanpan committed suicide once he had heard Qin forces had breached the palace defenses 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. Deified as the goddess of Childbirth and Motherhood after her death. | ||||||||

Second child and eldest daughter of Niangdi Cuilu. Before she was born, most assumed that her elder brother, Yuan Ping (媛评), Niangdi Cuilu's eldest child, would be her mother's heir, but Niangdi Cuilu shocked the nation when she decreed that successors of the Qin dynasty would only be women.
Niangdi Hongbao came into the throne at the age of twenty five upon the death of her mother. Under her reign, the current 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). | ||||||||

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 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. 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 child and second daughter of Niangdi Baolan. Ascended to the throne at ten years old following the abdication of her mother. Her mother continued to rule as her regent until she turned seventeen. The following year, she died in childbirth giving birth to her daughter and only child, Yuan Chanjuan, the future Niangdi Jinyu, living long enough to name her and declare Yuan Chanjuan her heir. | ||||||||

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 Unghwa 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 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. | ||||||||

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 Ci 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. | ||||||||

Niece of 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 Qin 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. | ||||||||

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. | ||||||||

Granddaughter of Niangdi Xiangliao and the last ruler of the Qin dynasty. Her reign and the dynasty ended when she was tricked into abdicating to Luo Hao, the Gong of Mei. It was only when the Sisters of the Yellow Dragon rebelled against the Mei dynasty weeks later that she finally realized her mistake. But, she and the former imperial family were prevented from taking any action when Luo Hao had his agents assassinate her and many of her kin, preventing any resurgence of the Qin dynasty.
Several members of the Yuan clan, including Niangdi Chuai's son and her two daughters, were spared this fate and later fought against the Mei dynasty, but the remnants of the Qin dynasty were never able to return to power. | ||||||||

Twin brother of Niangdi Ci (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 Ci 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 Ci 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 Ci until their final days. | ||||||||

He was an alleged descendant of Xiangrikui Gongchan through his father, Luo Yao (蓏要).
The Gong of Mei and the last Chengxiang under the Qin dynasty, he came to power when he tricked Niangdi Chuai, the last monarch of the Qin dynasty, to abdicate in his favor. A conservative traditionalist educated in the pre-Qin ways, Huangdi Ganju became huangdi purposely to end the women-ruled Qin dynasty and reinstate male-preference primogeniture for the first time in centuries. However, his dynasty did not begin peacefully, as the Sisters of the Yellow Dragon – a women-only Jiti 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 Qin 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 Mei dynasty to a point it couldn't recover. It is for these reasons that he is remembered infamously. | ||||||||

Lin dynasty
A Arslan-ruled conquest dynasty, established in the wake of the Seven Dynasties & Twelve Kingdoms period, and the first non-Jiti dynasty to rule Tianchao. The first three monarchs of the Lin dynasty were also rulers of the Gergazard Khaganate, as Lin was founded as a division of the Khaganate (sort of like dual monarchy: two separate states ruled by a single monarch). The first six rulers of the Gergazard Khaganate were never huangdi in their lifetime, but were posthumously declared so following the foundation of the Lin dynasty.
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.
Upon separation from Gergazar, the ruling family made efforts at Jitization for ease of rule, but retained most of their traditional ways.

Though not the founder of the Lin dynasty, he was given a temple name to imply 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 Tenger (ᠲᠩᠷᠢ) to the Arslan), torn asunder by the Seven Dynasties & Twelve Kingdoms period since the fall of the Mei dynasty. As soon as he became Khagan, 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 Delkhiin (ᠳᠡᠯᠡᠬᠡᠢ ᠶᠢᠨ) by the Arslan), including Antikülke. 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 Zanghuan (called Zangkhuan (ᠵᠠᠩ ᠢᠬᠤᠠ ᠶᠢᠨ) by the Arslan). | ||||||||

Eldest son of Zaluu Khan, seventh Khagan of the Gergazard Khaganate and founder of the Lin dynasty.
Coming to the Gergazard throne 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 brothers, proved to be a daunting endeavor that took him two decades to achieve. With his place secure, he finally launched the invasion of Zanghuan in 4074ᴛᴊʜ (3653ᴀꜰᴢ). Within two years he conquered two Jiti 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 a few more months 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 Jiti culture and traditions from a young age, under him the Altanzul clan began the slow process of Jitization, becoming more and more like the people they had conquered. By the end of the first decade of Nait Khan's reign as huangdi, the entirety of Zanghuan was secured – save for the Hang and Sang kingdoms, whose successor states would later go on to form Dongbalian. Nait Khan intended to invade and conquer Guangdai, 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. He died with the ambition of his father still unfulfilled. | ||||||||

He was the first huangdi of the Lin dynasty to actually rule it from a place in Zanghuan, choosing the newly-founded Tovguren (ᠲᠥᠪᠭᠦᠷᠡᠨ) – now known as Waiyang (外央) – as his capital. Khundet Khan also led his army and navy in the Arslan Invasion of Fuso, conquering a large chunk of the empire before he was killed in battle. Khundet Khan died during the Siege of Hansei (繁星の包囲) against the defending forces of the Yamato, which his forces eventually defeated, without naming an heir. His sudden death so far from home 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 Khan's third son, fourth ruler of the Lin dynasty, and the first to be independent of the Gergazard Khaganate.
Because Khundet Khan died in Fuso without naming an heir, a succession dispute erupted between Baatar Khan, his brothers and rival clans. In the end, within a year after Khundet Khan's death, the Khaganate fragmented into five states: Gergazar fell under the reign of the Tsetsgiin (ᠴᠡᠴᠡᠭ ᠦᠨ) clan under Tuimer Khan (ᠲᠦᠢᠮᠡᠷᠬᠠᠭᠠᠨ); Baatar Khan won succession of the Lin dynasty as undisputed huangdi after defeating his brothers; the northern sector became split between the resurgent Antikülke and the Shengwai-ruled Shuang (霜) dynasty; the territories in Guangdai became the Unghwa-ruled Gwan (관/棺) dynasty; the Island of Qiu broke away into the Xiyi-ruled Pan (磐) dynasty. Baatar Khan and his successors continued to rule the Lin dynasty independently. | ||||||||

Founder of the Ang dynasty, Huangdi Zhanshi is a mixed figure in Tianchao history. He's lauded as a liberator by those who disdained foreign rule over their country and restored Yinghui rule, but denounced as an opportunistic usurper who took overthrew and killed a peaceful monarch by others.
The same year he toppled Kunziin Khan and the Lin dynasty, he was forced to deal with the invasion of the Yamato Empire to the west, preventing him from restoring to Tianchao the way he envisioned. | ||||||||

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. 0ᴛᴊʜ = 421ʙꜰᴢ.
- The Jiti characters of the posthumous names of rulers, if applicable, are the name of the dynasty, the name, and their title, in that order.
- For huangdi whose reigns ended before they died, this is an indicator that they abdicated or were somehow deposed without being executed.
