Revision 1

Beyond the Abyssal Dragon, Dinghai: The Ocean Pillar draws several figures from the mythology of the Classic of Mountains and Seas into its story. Only their roles within the game are described below.

Yi

Yi is the godson of the flood-taming hero Yu. In the game's opening, the surviving soul of the Abyssal Dragon seizes Yi's body in the moments before death, giving the fallen general a new vessel in the mortal world.

Emperor Yan

Emperor Yan is the liege the Abyssal Dragon once served as a general, before he was disgraced and exiled. His court frames the Abyssal Dragon's fall from grace.

Yu

Yu is the flood-taming hero and Yi's godfather. Uncovering what became of Yu is described as part of the Abyssal Dragon's journey.

These figures originate in classical mythology. Only the details confirmed for this game are treated as part of its story.
