"It will be marked with a fire that streaks the skies. It will be marked with a might roar of the giants in the mountains, so loud even the squat men will hear it's cry. The day of reckoning, the day of vengeance. The porcelain skins will be slaughtered to the last and our homeland reclaimed."

- Ancient Tong-Yi prophecy.

The Tong-Yi are an ancient people one's who's history is obscure and forgotten. Some legends say they are a vile race of orc-men bred by Morgoth, others state they are the descendants of giants. Of what is known is that they are the original inhabitants of the mountains of wind and much of modern day Xin and far into the lands of Rhun. As you can guess they were long ago driven out by the Xinese and pushed into the foot hills of the red mountains and past the last desert. Since that day they swore to one day retake their homes from the 'Porcelain Skins', or at least some have.

They are of a large build and stand slightly taller then the average man. They are of sallow skin (Referred to as bronze skins in Xin). They are known for two things their great martial strength and the raids they commit upon all their neighbors.

Tong-Yi are organized into a series a clans all that war amongest each other. Each clan is lead by a Khan and is it's own separate political entity. Tong-Yi are also slavers who capture both their own kind and other peoples and species and sell them to both the Porcelain Skins and the Swarthy Men (Haradrim)

At times they fall under the banner of another. Some clans have sworn fealty to the Celestial Emperor and reside in the border lands of Xin (Forming buffer states of sorts) others join the warlords of Khand looking for glory, and others fight for the dark lord, cause they can.
