Since ancient times, the dragon has been a symbol of the emperor and imperial power.
Wearing the Dragon Robe, donning the Dragon Crown, the high seat above is called the Dragon Chair...
There are a few theories circulating on why the Empire is named after the Divine Beast Phoenix.
One is because the map of the Phoenix Empire resembles a large bird; Phoenix being the king of birds, both powerful and prestigious, hence the name.
Another theory is that Chen Bing, the founder of the Zhong Family, heard the cry of a phoenix while half asleep on Mountain Qi; upon investigating, a colorful great bird descended from the sky.
There is also a belief that the Empire was born out of chaos, hard-earned. Naming it Phoenix signifies the beautiful vision of rebirth from ashes, striving towards a wonderful new life.
However, Tang Fei privately thought, the King as the Dragon and the nation as the Phoenix, Dragon and Phoenix together bring auspice—is there a better omen than this?
