As recounted in the [[Iyagi-seda]], the central text of [[Chulcheo]], [[Yang-jo]] was the first man, born to [[Byeol]], demigod of the stars, and [[Dalrae]], the first woman. Through them all people are supposedly descended from the Gods, but as the firstborn of their 111 children Yang received special treatment as the maker of the law and leader of the people of [[Meseda-jo]]. As decreed by Yang, the title of Emperor was passed down from parent to child over the generations. Arranged marriages between cadet branches of the Imperial family and high-ranking foreigners has always been an important part of Metzettan diplomacy. The early emperors are today accepted by most of the world to be legendary figures who may or may not be based on leaders from around the time they were said to have lived, however for most of recorded history their existence was taken by the natives as fact. Emperors often marry within the Imperial family in an effort to preserve their heavenly bloodline. | As recounted in the [[Iyagi-seda]], the central text of [[Chulcheo]], [[Yang-jo]] was the first man, born to [[Byeol]], demigod of the stars, and [[Dalrae]], the first woman.
