Zhong Valley lies nestled in between two small mountains. The town rose up around the abundant presence of precious metals and everyone who lives in the grown up settlement contributes to the mining effort to some degree. The people are kind and welcoming to passers through due to a small population and not exactly being an envied destination for sight seers and the wealthy. The city scatters in a strange set of rings, as houses and business are built in circles around the great smelting houses taking advantage of the heat they output. Minecart tracks ride through the town their riders making stops at each smelting house before looping back around to be refilled by the miners beneath Shanshan Mountain.
