“	One of the sharpest minds I've ever had the pleasure to meet, Emperor Tengu's wit never ceases to amaze me during his visits...	”
–Luquin's forced message during his stay in Tengu's Vault

Emperor Tengu is the current leader of the United Cities. He is carrying the strongest Katana (Meitou grade) in the game.

Emperor Tengu resides in United Cities faction HQ in Heft, where he often spends time in his throne room. He is usually flanked by his diplomat, Koin. The building is dotted by his ever-vigilant personal Scorchlander retinue, composed of 5 Samurai Elites, 8 Samurai Captains, 2 Samurai Heavies, and 5 Jonin Elites if Heft is not malnourished (the numbers will decrease if it is).

Players wishing to completely destabilize UC in the desert area and spawn Samurai Rogues will have to take down him and Lady Sanda, Lord Nagata, Lord Inaba and Lord Yoshinaga.

Behind his glasses, Tengu has the distinctive glowing eyes of a Scorchlander, but he has dark hair and unusually light (by Scorchlander standards) skin, making it easy to confuse him for a Greenlander, although in a more subtle way than characters like Stubs Momuso that outright use the Greenlander skin texture.

He has Smart Personality.

Interactions

If you talk to Emperor Tengu, he will tell you that he needs you to defeat an ancient Grievewrath. He says that first you will need to find Clunknad Spanner, the skeleton wizard, so he can brew you the "Elixer of Godly Powers." He will then give you a sack which will contain Tengu's seal to give to Clunknad to prove that Tengu sent you.

Tengu's "seal" is in fact a chewed-up fruit pit, and none of the other items or characters he mentions exist at all. Upon handing the seal to the player character, he bursts into a fit of disturbing, uncontrollable laughter and mocking with his guards, ending with an abrupt declaration that it is time to return to work.

If the player is allied with United Cities (and not allied to Rebel Farmers, The Holy Nation, Shek Kingdom and Anti-Slavers) the player would be able to speak to Tengu about war and expansion to other nation, though the player will typically just be redirected to speak with Koin, a high-ranking diplomat of UC. You can then intimidate him by objecting to being called a servant, if you've managed to make a name for yourself by taking down strong characters like Bugmaster, Esata, Phoenix, Tinfist, or Cat-Lon.

History

After the Red Rebellion, a new leader was chosen: Emperor Tengu, a starkly more impulsive man with a lack of common sense in comparison to his predecessor. As is tradition, Tengu has an ‘Inner Circle’ of four equally cruel, powerful, high nobles handpicked by himself. The emperor and his nobles are massively feared, particularly by the lower working class, and there are a huge number of rumors that reinforce this image, in particular stories of Tengu’s mysterious ‘Vault’ where rebels and enemies are sent.

But despite his feared position, Tengu is only an average fighter, having merely above average stats and wearing almost no armour. The noble culture is one of imported luxuries, exotic novelties, and flamboyant fashion. Although most of the high nobles rely on their famed bodyguards for protection and can only swing a sword well enough to buy their guards time against a truly skilled assailant, they nonetheless tend to carry elaborate and expensive swords on them as a symbol of status.

“	Don’t EVER mess with the nobles, don’t look at them, don’t breathe near them… Unless you want to wind up in Tengu’s torture Vault with all the other rebels.	”
–Farmer Zu

World States

(Requires Tengu dead)

Primarily, if Tengu is killed while the nobles of each city (as well as their slave camp suppliers) are still alive then the capital of UC, Heft will be completely turned over to Empire Peasants control while the cities of Stoat and Heng will become half-destroyed and enter into a state of civil war with Rebel Swordsmen.

Several patrols of Samurais will also decrease frequency in The Great Desert (50%), Stormgap Coast (40%), Heng (23%), Bast (21%).

Noble Hunters (The Great Desert, Heng, Stormgap Coast, The Hook) will cease to spawn.

Rebel Farmers at northern areas (Sinkuun, Bast, The Great Desert, Heng, Skimsands, Grey Desert, Stormgap Coast) will cease to spawn. They will instead be replaced with Rebel Swordsmen (Sinkuun, The Great Desert, Heng, Skimsands). The Raider Camp will also change ownership to Rebel Swordsmen.

Cannibal Infestation will begin in The Great Desert.

• If Inaba is also killed:
  • UC will cease to spawn in Bast.
  • Drin goes to Holy Nation if Valtena is alive, or ruined otherwise.
  • Stoat goes to Tech Hunters, or to Yabuta Outlaws if Yabuta is alive.
  • Cannibals start spawning in The Great Desert, unless Yabuta is alive.
• If Nagata is also killed:
  • UC will cease to spawn in Heng.
  • Sho-Battai goes to Empire Peasants if Simion is alive, or Cannibals otherwise.
  • If Kana is also killed, Port North goes to Empire Peasants if Simion is alive, or ruined otherwise.
    • If only Kana is killed without Nagata, Sho-Battai will be half-destroyed and malnourished.
• If Sanda is also killed:
  • UC will cease to spawn in The Great Desert.
  • Bark goes to Empire Peasants.
• If Inaba, Nagata, Yoshinaga, Sanda are all killed:
  • Samurai Rogues will spawn in The Great Desert, Skimsands, Northern Coast, Sinkuun, Stormgap Coast, The Eye, The Outlands.
  • Additionally, if Lady Tsugi is killed, the United Cities Assault will no longer trigger.
• If Tsugi is also killed:
  • Okran's Shield will fall to Reavers if Valtena is dead while Valamon is alive.
• If Longen is also killed:
  • Heng goes to Empire Peasants.
  • Trader's Edge goes to Anti-Slavers if Tinfist is alive, or Empire Peasants otherwise.
    • The Free City would also be founded if Tinfist is alive.
  • If Wada is also killed, Port South goes to Empire Peasants.

If the player has an outpost and has killed/kidnapped Tengu, this will prompt an Eyegore Assault with Eyegore and a large number of Samurai in tow. If Eyegore is dead, it will be replaced with a large squad of Elite Hunters.

His death will collapse the entire governance of the United Cities' territories and the Drug Bust, Tax Collector, Tax Evasion Enforcement, Tax Man Visit events will no longer trigger.

(Requires Tengu alive)

• If Tinfist is killed while Longen is alive, Fishing Village goes to Slave Traders.

Trivia

• In Japanese, 「天狗」(tengu) are a type of supernatural being in Japanese folk religion similar to a goblin. They are known for having long noses, living in mountain caves, and having a mix of human, monkey, and avian characteristics. Tengu is also a euphemism in Japanese for a bragging or conceited person, which could be a reference to Emperor Tengu's ego.
• "Tengu" can also be found on some randomly named characters as it appears in the Random Names List.
• Although Tengu has an Advanced First Aid Kit he only seems to use it if his legs become crippled, and only on himself.
• As Tengu is a Noble, if either of his arms are lost in combat he will flee until knocked unconscious.
