Dao Duleng Canal

== Overview ==
The Dao Duleng canal was a gargantuan waterway in north-western Yavshen which permitted direct passage from the North Concord Sea straight to the Hundred Island Sea. An economic powerhouse for Yavshen, slightly under half of the canal was made-made, with the rest relying on pre-existing river courses. Nonetheless, when it was completed in 303 AG, the city of Zhongdou, Yavshen's capital, experienced an explosion in trade and profit from ships paying deference to the canal in currency to move through thanks to the canal running through it. The project was conceived by its namesake and Supreme Premier of Yavshen, Dao Duleng, and implemented by his Director of Cohesion, Chek Feng. The project began construction on Lavender Day 301 AG to coincide with the country's invasion of nearby Horishi. Once the invasion was complete, any surplus labour force absorbed by the conquest was put to use in the construction of the canal, accounting for the project's remarkable completion time. Indeed, the completion of the project was, in part, one such salient prompt for Yavshen to finally actualise their long-held desire to invade Horishi. The Lavender Extension was to be the canal's successor; minor alterations were made in the existing Duleng canal in order to begin an intersection where the extension would carry on.
