The Five Guards of the Northwest of Longzuo!

Centered on the Northwest Guard, the area is vast and yet its water resources are very scanty. The prominent families mostly rely on animal husbandry, mining, or growing some drought-resistant crops.

The famous heavyweight cart horses of the North are a local specialty of the Northwest Guards. Many prominent families in Longzuo County buy and raise these heavy cart horses to increase their family's transportation capacity.

The whole Northwest Five Guards, collectively, have eleven 7th-rank Aristocratic Families, with countless eight or nine Rank families scattered across the vast pastures. The majority of the family members belonging to these families never travel beyond the Northwest Guard City in their lifetime.
