Hello Folks!

- Is there anything of official source, that prohibits Harlequin of having stayed in China
for a while somewhere
around 100 BC to 400 AD?
- When did Tibet's Borders exactly go down? Is there any material about it?
- Why did China split up? Was it still "Communistic" at that time? How long did
it take? Is there any grave
damage mentioned somewhere (esp. destruction of cultural heritage)?

Thx,


Drachir

Not AFAIK.

I don't think that's ever mentioned; the only thing you can really say is that
the country closed down sometime before Dunkelzahn's will was published :)

Again, I have no real information, except that my reasoning would be that the
Communist Party's rule must have collapsed somehow, giving people with more
local power a chance to exercise that more.

Target: Wastelands mentions that the Xinjiang province was one of the, if not the, first
provinces to break away from China in the twenty-teens, some time between 2013 and 2019.
Hope that helps some.
