	Yanli was born in Zhongzhou during the [[Tang dynasty]] and grew up enthused with the prospect of travelling. At some point, she became a merchant and was granted passage on a trading boat.

	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.
