Southwest of Chenli, northwest of Dachen, and east of the Taiyuan Mountains lies a vast plain known as the Northwest Great Wilderness.
Though called the Great Wilderness, it was vast only in its lack of human habitation rather than being truly barren. The wilderness was filled with towering trees and winding rivers, with hundred-meter-tall giants forming dense forests that provided prime material for the keels of large ships. For over a millennium, this region had served as an essential raw material production base for Dachen's Minhai Shipyard.
Chongyi Tower: a commercial association operating in the northwest frontier specializing in timber transport. Its main building was located in Huangzhou City, and its chief lord was a Martial Vein Grandmaster. Rumor had it that he was backed by other major factions, and that he himself was merely a figurehead.
