are there 4 main bosses - north (tentei), south (niao sun) east (Lan di) and west (ziming)
or
is tentei seperate from the compass direction bosses (5 overall bosses) leaving northern boss as complete mystery apart from the his silhouete in that one image released by dev team.
Apparently, Tentei, the Emperor of Heaven, is not one of the Four leaders. There seems to be some variations in Chinese mythology, but you can get a rough idea from this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Symbols_(China)Tentei is the Yellow Dragon of the Center. Remember the Yellow Head building in Kowloon is surrounded by the other four "compass direction" buildings.

thanks for the clarification kiyuu.
i have another question but again i don't want to start a new topic- maybe you could help me since you know japanese.
not sure whether its ever been discussed, its regarding the bad ending of shen 2
in the english subtitled version lan di says to shenhua ' i will take your power for the CHIYOUMEN'
but in the english spoken version land di says ' i will take your power for the CHIYOU'
wonder if it was a translation error.
i suppose chiyou makes more sense since we know that its a some kind of supernatural entity. but then again the chiyoumen leaders (at least some of them) might have minor supernatural powers.
some might see this as only minor importance, since to empower the chiyou is equivalent of empowering the chiyoumen. anyway a clarification would be great.
