| ::I agree. I was certain that Xian is the Grandfather (don't know why) but I've re-read ToJ and Laurence says the 'oldest fellow' (meaning Grandfather) goes back 4-5 generations. So it cannot be Xian who would be the 3rd generation, counting from Temeraire and Chuan. [[User:Natli|Natli]] 08:50, 16 August 2010 (PDT) | | ::I agree.

− | == Ask Naomi - Should We Ask About The Family Tree? ==
| |

| |
− | Well, that new website function seems to be for odd little questions. Should one of us use the Ask Naomi feature to see if she has a family tree for the Celestials mapped out? It'd finally tell us exactly which dragons make up the four generations, and whether [[Xian]] is [[Grandfather]] or a deceased female. She might even have a list of which Dragons were paired with which Emperors, and whether we are right in assuming the previous Celestial Family fled with the Ming Dynasty. I'd ask her myself, but I've already sent two questions out this month, so someone else will need to do it.
| |
− | If nobody does, I'll send two questions next month asking about this, and to see whether succession to the Imperial Throne is a result of the youngest Celestial choosing one of the Emperor's children, as we've speculated on other pages.

− | == Family tree ==
| |
− |
| |
− | Just had a look at the latest incarnation of the family tree, and I note it's got Lung Tien Xian listed as being the son of an Imperial and a Celestial? This contradicts Throne of Jade, which says he was born of two Imperials. Course, we don't know if that's true or not, now that we have this new information about Kublai Khan stealing Celestials from Japan...how should we write this up?

| |
− | And for that matter, where does that leave the Yellow Emperor? Was he a Celestial after all? Or did the breed move from China to Japan and then back? [[User:Almaron|Almaron]] 19:34, 3 September 2013 (CDT)

− | Temeraire said about hovering that it was simply beating his wings the other way. This picture could explain that, look at the hummingbird in the lower right corner: http://9gag.com/gag/aBQ0RqO Pretty interesting! --[[User:Harmenator|Harmenator]] 10:10, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
