Basic list of important places in Xin that will be added on to later and eventually made into a lore post in it's own right.

First Zhuan:

Zhuan is both a city and a autonomous state within Xin. It is the birth place of the Zhuishi religion and the eat of the Zhu (Think Dalai Lama)

The Forbidden Temple (Temple of Heaven):

A massive temple tower complex built within Zhengzhou and the center of religion in Xin. It is a large tower built around 3 smaller towers (Each dedicated to one of the lesser sanctioned religion) each emperor is crowned in this temple and every year during the start of winter and summer a ceremony is held.

The center tower is dedicated to the two things the ancestors and the divine emperors. At the very top of the tower is a large chamber dedicated to the original elvish gods (Only those of pure elvish blood can enter the chamber those of lower blood can pray outside the room near a veil)

Zhengzhou:

The capital of the Empire and by far the largest city in Xin and middle earth. It sprawls over many, many miles of land. The city is split into a series of 'rings' with each having a given purpose (The Rings being the Outer, First Inner wall, Second Inner wall, and the Red wall)

The outer wall is by far the strongest and has never been breached, ever.

Hong Cities/Colonies:

The Hong or red Cities are cities taken during the Xin-Umbar war they are like most Xin cities multi-cultural but not in the standard mix. They combine both the umbarian elements with the Xin creating a unique 'culture' although a culture dominated by Xin and one that has the umbarians as a second class. The Cities are as follows: Dalian, Ningbo, Kuo, Rizhao, and Anhui

Shuang Colonies:

The Shuang or frost Colonies are colonies within the forzen wastes of the north. They are mainly small ports or watch forts.

Yinhanghao:

The banking capital of Xin and it's second most important port city (The first being Zhengzhou) Yinhanghao is also the city from which the colonies and Rhunic trade are managed leading to this city being quite the target. A massive wall was built around the city and the port leading to the great 'Sea Wall' being constructed.

Laophao:

Laophao is the largest fortress in Xin to the point of being considered a city. It is the main fortress of the Southern border and watches over the only easily accessed land entrance into Xin (Through the Red desert)
