Capital City.
As the sun and moon usher in a new sky, the old nation and its formal attire have faded, leaving behind only the "elegant politics of the new dynasty."
The hustle and bustle of Capital City's inhabitants has lost its solemn grandeur, now tinged with a touch of the Hu winds.
On the streets, the majority of well-dressed pedestrians are Barbarians, with a minority being servants of the Barbarians. In this place, Barbarians and Han People are separated; descendants of Barbarians are born in the most prosperous areas, while Han People can only reside in the more remote regions.
More and more carriages enter the city, including those of the Mongolian Prince and northwestern merchants, as well as centenarians from across the country arriving with their offspring.
With the Emperor's Birthday Celebration imminent, the city is adorned with festive lights and decorations, as preparations for the birthday banquet's necessities begin.
