	As both Zhongzhou formed in 619 CE were abolished two hundred years before the events of the game, this leaves out the two Zhongzhou from the 630s. Of these two, the last one appears most likely. At the time, the main resident of the area was the Tangut Yeli (野利) clan. According to ~~the work~~ by linguists {{Wiki\|Wang Li}}<ref>~~the book used Wangli system.~~ Li Huazhen,Zhou Changji~~, ''~~Ancient and Modern Chinese ~~lanuage~~ pronunciation tablet~~'',~~ Zhonghua Book Company~~,1999~~. ~~李華珍，周長楫：《漢字古今音表》，中華書局1999年版。~~</ref> and {{Wiki\|Li Fang-Kuei}}<ref>Li Fang-Kuei~~, ''~~Studies on ~~ancient~~ Chinese ~~language prounciation'',~~ Beijing ~~commercial press 2015~~. ~~李方桂：《上古音研究》，商务印书馆2015年版。~~</ref> in translating {{Wiki\|Middle Chinese}}, Ye is presumed to be Jǐa, and Yan is presumed to be Jiän. Further, Yanli does not follow the typical Chinese naming conventions but is a separate surname or given name. Therefore, Yanli is likely to be a sound change of Yeli, and Zhongzhou is likely to refer to 种州 rather than China proper.
