Message: <blockquote data-quote="Emperor Valerian" data-source="post: 2132027" data-attributes="member: 15043">Two maps I finished relating to this section of the story hour.  The first is a loose map of the city of Xianfung, where the party is currently plotting their assassination of the governor of Dai...<a href="https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/wtinder2/story images/xianfungmap copy.jpg" target="_blank">Map of Xianfung</a> The city is over 800 years old, purposefully constructed in ancient times to serve as the northern capital of the Empire of Ak Konylu.  As such, it was built with a purposefully rectangular shape, with all roads leading to the seat of power and harmony, the palace.  Once of the home of Emperors, the palace of Xianfung now houses the governor of Dai since the Imperial family has long since left Xianfung in favor of the current capital, Liaoxiang.  With over 230,000 inhabitants, Xianfung remains the crown jewel of the north, sitting astride the important roads that connect the current capital with the far northwestern provinces.The second is a map of the Governor's Palace Complex:<a href="https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/wtinder2/story images/palace complex copy.jpg" target="_blank">Map of the Governor's Palace Complex</a> I'm working on the next update... sadly it won't be posted until next week at the earliest (papers, presentations, Illini basketball, next gaming session).  As a teaser though, I will relay the title of the section:Of Harems and Ambushes   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
