Vives-Eaux, also known by its Huranian name of Chenshui or by its ancient name of Primevoire d'Aix is the capital city of Shang Fa and its most populated city. Originally a simple fishermen town, the agglomeration' location near the mouth of the Queen River, the largest and longest waterway of Hurania, made it the focus of attention from Auressian, and more importantly Blaykish, traders in the 16th century, quickly developing the town into a trade port and the hub between the Lin Dynasty and Auressia.
After the establishment of the Tan Dynasty and the colonial wars in the Sea of Qes, Chenshui became a de-facto Blaykish and Principean city, with many factories exporting lacquerware, silk, and manufactured products to the rest of the Blaykish Empire, in exchange for spices, luxury goods, and precious metals from the new world.
As such, after the creation of the Great Covenant, Vives-Eaux was naturally chosen as the location of the Megodoquole, the council of representatives from every Principean colony and factory in northern Huran. The Megodoquole would continue to amass power until the Social War (1861 - 1870) which led to the establishment of the Fa Dynasty. Vives-Eaux remained the capital of the new regime, securing its position as the new heart of the region for the centuries to come.
