It is located in West Fengjiang on the Serican Peninsula, centered around the delta of the Toihoh River and possessing a coastline with the South Serica Sea lying to its west.

The city is one of the oldest cities on the Serican Peninsula, first established as a fishing village in 1073 by Fengese refugees fleeing the tyrannical policies of the contemporary Empire of Fengjiang. Popularly believed to be the oldest city on the peninsula, this is hotly disputed by various other peninsular cities, not to mention the various native Gaorong settlements displaced and eventually destroyed by the Fengese influx. It saw expansion during the peninsula's industrialization in the 1100s, emerging as one of the kingmakers of the nascent Serican Peninsular Commonwealth as it became the traditional home of the mercantile Tsau dynasty. It eventually rose to become the largest and most influential city on the peninsula as the Great Fragmentation broke out, becoming one of the three capitals of the Viceroyalty of Phwa-Kwok-Tsau and persisting as the economic heart of the Fengese west even after the Fragmentation's end. After a brief period of decline when it was struck by an atomic bomb during the Great Serrataran War, it became the center of the post-war reconstruction effort in Fengjiang, becoming the heart of the Fengjiang Ten conspiracy to depose the traditional constituent governments of Fengjiang in favor of Fengese corporatocracy. It would become one of the branch headquarters of the emergent Combinial Forum, cementing its position as the economic heart of the nation, only rivalled by Szuto in the south and Kaijing just across the inner sea.
