The Jade Court in Immortal Empires
Yuan Bo leads The Jade Court. In Immortal Empires his expedition begins in Lustria, while an early decision concerns the distant holding at Shang-Wu. Consider whether you can sustain both fronts before spreading the army and construction budget between them.
His compass campaign sends him to establish and defend relays. Treat the next objective as an expedition that needs a secure base and an army able to hold what it takes.
Warhammer Community’s June 2025 history names Yuan Bo, the Jade Dragon, among five children of the Celestial Dragon Emperor and the Moon Dragon who are active in the setting, beside Miao Ying, Zhao Ming, Yin-Yin and Li Dao. The Lustrian start is the Immortal Empires frame for that ruler.
Matters of State
Matters of State uses Steel and Stone for actions affecting characters, armies and settlements. Spending one alignment converts it toward the other after a delay. Plan the next action while choosing the current one, rather than treating either resource as an isolated stockpile.
Those powers give an alternative to solving every obstacle with another army. Before using an action, decide what it will make possible on the map and whether your forces are ready to exploit the opening.
Magic, dragon form and supporting troops
Yuan Bo brings Light, Yin and Heavens magic alongside his dragon transformation. Use the human caster when spells can influence several engagements; commit the dragon where a particular target needs direct pressure. Keep an escape route clear when enemy missiles or anti-large troops converge.
A supporting caster expands the spell options but shares the army's magical resources. Let Jade Warriors protect the damage units while Yuan Bo chooses a decisive engagement.
