Zhongdou

== Overview ==
Zhongdou (Yanshenese: 中豆), formally by 301 AG, Tanjin, (潭津), was the capital and largest city of the Kisayan country of Yavshen. Boasting a tremendous population, Zhongdou acted as the centrepiece of a dominating Yavshen, affording it an uncontrolled sprawl which contained at its centre grand temples precisely curated to house the powerful circle that ruled the territory. Prior to era beginning with the Great Restructure of 143 AG and throughout the duration of Yavshen's inclusion in the Horishi Empire, the city notably was housed in Horishi territory outside of Yavshen in order to exercise effective administration over such a strategically key city close to their own borders. Before this time, Zhongdou was the heart of the eponymous Zhong Dynasty and had been settled long before Yavshen's dynastic era, extending into prehistory. Following the return of the city back to the Yavsheni in the Great Restructure period, the ruling circle of the country sought to restyle the city as Tanjin, becoming the required mode of reference to the city on pain of death within the country. However, the city continued to be widely referred to as Zhongdou in the outside world. The infamous prison-city, the Walled City, lay within the city's confines, having being developed as such by Jīn Duleng and subsequently expanded by Chek Feng. By 303 AG, the mighty Dao Duleng Canal ran through the city.
