Places

Linan TownLinan Town (临安镇), Da Yin. Snow settles on crowded western lanes, the Fan family’s modest home and the neighboring Zhao carpenter’s house. Butcher stalls and small shops line the market; upstairs at the Zhao home, a borrowed room shelters a wounded traveler. Timber doors, tiled roofs and charcoal warmth frame a life measured in food, medicine and copper coins.
Wartime Road and CampA shifting stretch of muddy roads, temporary shelters, and guarded camps where supplies run short and civilians must make dangerous journeys.
Imperial CourtThe imperial capital of Da Yin. Guarded halls and administrative offices surround quiet courtyards; petitioners wait beneath tiled eaves while clerks sort sealed dispatches and old records. Beyond the formal courtesies, rival loyalties shape who is admitted, whose testimony is heard and what the archives reveal.
