In-Game Description[edit | edit source]

The "Red Mountain", Ulaankhad, or Chifeng. The birthplace of Khitan Liao dynasty had been a prosperous and populous place for centuries, thanks to the migrants from Northern China who cultivated its land. But opium occupied a large fraction of its fertile soil, and its grain output was always insufficient. Under the coercion or deception of Manchukuo, more farmers abandoned food cultivation and switched to opium. The arable land was seized for opium production, while the food crops were relegated to the barren slopes. This caused the collapse of the agricultural economy, the displacement of the farmers, and widespread famine. Ulaankhad is now a realm of opium fields, a haven for opium addicts. In opium dens, smoke veils swirl and twist, obscuring the norms and ethics that unravel within them.
