The great border city of 840 CE
In the game, the player will be introduced to the present timeline first. Set around 840CE, in a great border city sandwiched between Gokturk Khaganate and Tibetan empire, during the epilogue of China’s Tang dynasty. Its architectural landmark is the summer palace of a vassal king built in 730CE. The border city is in close proximity with a great river that allows the flows of commerce between distant lands. The great river itself is the center of some almost magical events, which in the span of a hundred years, helped to transform the border city from a shanty town to a prosperous hub between lands. The time when the protagonist arrives, he is greeted by a lazy sort of haze looming above the city. The weather only becomes gloomier and hangs for days, as if expecting a long week of rain and thunderstorm.
A portion of the border city is built upon water, therefore it should be a city with many bridges. The roof of some buildings should resemble sails.
