Lungmen is an autonomous region of Yan, located between Kazdel and Ursus. A prosperous, advanced nomadic city, it is governed by the Yan imperial family member Wei Yenwu and acts as a "special economic zone" with greater autonomy such as a largely independent government and economy, making it more progressive and open to foreign influences than Yan. Lungmen's prosperity and economic prowess is shown by their currency, Lungmen dollar (LMD), which is widely used in international transactions across Terra. In adition, Lungmen is also the youngest administrative district within Yan —under the administrative code 0019.[1]
Lungmen's urban planning is based surrounding the Central Business District (CBD) located on the city's downtown area, above the artificial river that spans across the city. A series of expressways encircling the downtown area connect various nodes within Lungmen.[2] On the other hand, Lungmen's treatment towards the Infected is known to be harsh, though not to the same degree as the neighboring Ursus; prior to Reunion's invasion, the majority of the Infected Lungmenites were confined into slums where they live in lower standards than the rest of the Lungmenites. The situation has improved since with the slums now developed and integrated to Lungmen's downtown.
Description
A nomadic city under the rule of Wei Yenwu. A place of towering skyscrapers and bustling public transit, it is one of the most important economic centers of Yan.[3]
Background[edit]
The Black Snake's Scheme[edit]
A city destroyed for an innocent girl.
For a long time, Lungmen was controlled from the shadows by the Duke of Kashchey of Ursus, as part of his wild imperialistic ambition. However, he would be expelled from the city thanks to teh joint efforts of Wei Yenwu, the Rat King, and Edward Artorius.[4] However, the Phidian duke wouldn't leave without retaliation. As part of a scheme between Kashchey and the Unicorn, the leaked details about Edward and Wei's sister's marriage enraged the True Lung and ordered Wei to either kill his still-pregnant sister or Edward. Wei chose the later, but details about Edward's death were kept in secret for over a decade.[5]
Twenty years ago, in the year 1077, Lungmen suffered a devastating attack by the Ursus infiltrators led by Kashchey. With all its security forces, Lungmen was able to resist forceful annexation by the Ursus Empire. However, it came with the cost of the destruction of half of Lungmen and young Talulah was kidnapped by Kaschey during the crisis. Fearing that the city would be totally wiped out, Wei was forced to give up Talulah in exchange for Kashchey's retreat.[5][6] The tragedy continued to haunt Wei's mind, forcing him to form the Lungmen Guard Department to prevent the city from future invasions.
