Editing Leng (section)

==History==
Leng was an isolated island for most of its history, as the [[Lengii]] did not welcome outsiders. Those who attempted to harvest the island's resources met a foul end, and it thus was avoided by mariners. Leng became known as a haunt of [[demon]]s and [[Magic|sorcerers]], a closed island.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Bones and Beyond: Leng}}

Merchants from the [[Golden Empire of Yi Ti]] periodically managed to open Leng to trade. However, according to the ''[[Jade Compendium]]'', the [[Old Ones]] who lived below the island's subterranean ruins instructed the Empress of Leng to kill the foreign merchants on at least four occasions. Leng was eventually conquered by [[Jar Har]], the sixth [[sea-green emperor]] of Yi Ti. He sealed the entrances to the underground cities and ordered them to be forgotten, after which there were no more massacres. The YiTish colonized most of the island, with the Lengii confined to the southern third.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Bones and Beyond: Leng}}

Leng overthrew YiTish rule four hundred years ago, and power returned to the god-empresses. [[Khiara|Khiara the Great]] established a tradition whereby the empress takes two husbands, one each of Lengii and YiTish descent, with one commanding the island's armies and the other its [[Watercraft|fleet]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Bones and Beyond: Leng}}

Some of the great wealth acquired by Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]] during his [[Great Voyages|nine voyages]] was from Leng.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} In {{Date|111}} or {{Date|112}}, Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] gifted his niece Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]] with a jade tiara said to have belonged to the Empress of Leng.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession.}}{{Ref|TRP}}
