Tien's Landing is a port town that was named after the first Emperor Sagacious Tien who founded the Jade Empire. The original Tien's Landing village was one of the oldest in the Jade Empire, serving as a gateway to the Silkworm River trade route. It was even thought to be the initial stop of Sagacious Tien, the first Emperor, on his legendary journey from the uncharted east and was named as such. There are no records to prove this claim one way or another, however, and it did not protect the town from the plans of more recent leaders.
