Jiangnan, Nanjing City
Once, the Great Chu was wealthy and vast, a hegemon that rivaled Xiling as one of the world's twin powers. Now, like Xiling, it was relegated to a corner of the land. It seemed Xiling and Great Chu truly shared a common destiny. Originating from the same source, they were established around the same time, grew powerful, became adversaries, and then declined almost synchronously due to the same people and reasons. After a great war a few years ago, more than half the territories of Xiling and Great Chu had fallen under the control of Prince Ding's Mansion. Despite the lord of Prince Ding's Mansion repeatedly refusing to ascend the throne, and even he himself had eventually disappeared without a trace, this still could not prevent the increasing power of Prince Ding's Mansion. The people under its rule lived and worked in peace, displaying an atmosphere suggesting the allegiance of the realm.
