Cathay lore:
- Dragon Emperor did not welcome the Old Ones very well, not much to say about that though as it isn't a period that is fleshed out.
- Cathayan Dragons and Lizardmen would team up against major threats like Chaos but other than that they don't particularly have good relationships but it's not bad either.
- Last major undertaking of the Dragon Emperor was to define the duties of his children (Miao Ying defending the Great Bastion, Yuan Bo administrating Cathay, etc), after that he retired to Wei-Jin with the Moon Empress to start working on his big mysterious plan.
- Cathay interactions with the rest of the world and characters have yet to be revealed but he did hint at one event between Ku'Gath and some of the Dragon siblings
- Nagas of Khuresh are evil creatures and want to expand their lands
- Monkey Warriors are a "significant part" of Cathay's Legions so the Monkey King is tolerated by the Emperor even though he doesn't like him as he tried to usurp the throne
- No comment on the One-Horned Ogres working in the Cathayan army
- Human of the Old World may have established colonies in the Far East, he especially mentionned Khuresh. If those colonies were successful remains to be seen
- He's trying to avoid the fan project of Khuresh as he don't want to be influenced by it. Still he mentionned that he's seen a few pics and they were cool as ****
- The Monkey King depictions is hinted to be propaganda from an agent of Tzeentch, the way he worded it makes me think the Changeling could be behind it so yeah, Monkey King isn't chaotic
- No plans for Khuresh, Nippon, Ind in the immediate or long term future. Probably will never happen.
Kislev lore:
- Don't worry about Ungols and Gospodars they are still here and you'll be able to see it in Warhammer 3 from the lore tidbits in loadings, tech tree description and stuff like that
- Different depictions of Ursun, Ungols view him as a big bear with a crown of ice while the Gospodars see him as a brown bear
- In the new lore Boris died at the Lynsk in Troll Country just like in the old lore. Games Workshop made Katarina a bit older than the old lore when she ascended to the throne
- Boris wanted to codify the religion with the Great Orthodoxy, he feared the Cults were an open door for Chaos worshippers, he mentionned the Blood Rituals of the Hags deep in the wood in particular.
- With Kostaltyn leading the Great Orthodoxy the organisation went a bit "out of control". Kostaltyn could be perceived as evil, unhinged but he is not evil, he truly believes that he is doing what's best for the Motherland
- Katarin is the epitome of what the Great Orthodoxy sees as wrong, Kostaltyn sees the magic as something that would allow Chaos to corrupt Kislev and he quoted him from a soon to be released short story - "Magic is evil even if you cloak it in ice, that is why the Great Bear is silent. He despises this witch that claims the sovereignty upon the Motherland."
- Kislev religions have double standards, even if they hate the Ice Magic they will use it against greater threats. He's comparing Kostaltyn to a 40K inquisitor, that thinks is better than most and can use weapons of Chaos to fight Chaos (in this case replace Chaos with Ice Magic)
- There are still Cults following the Old Ways and not under the Great Orthodoxy. He mentionned stuff like Taal and Ursun cultists and there is one character to represent that but he won't talk about it today but she is in the lore quotes ingame and it isn't the Golden Knight. I believe he most likely meant Mother Ostyanka
- The Great Orthodoxy is one of the richest organisation of the Old World but Kostaltyn likes to portray himself as one of the common folk
- The Orthodoxy has retinues dedicated to each Gods lead by the Patriarchs
- Hag Witches are still in the cannon, he mentionned Mother Ostankya.
- The Orthodoxy views foreign Cults as heretical, even the Empire ones.
- The secret police of the Tzarina is the Akshina, they are also used as spies and assassins outside of Kislev
- The Golden Knight is the Champion of the current Tzar, anyone can become the Golden Knight, they wear a golden armour and it is rumoured to be enchanted. It is usually a male but the most recent one is a female which is Nastasia (not sure how the name is spelt), she is the daughter of the previous Golden Knight and she pretty much does what the Tzarina asks her to do.
