The great forest plateau round the sacred Changbai mountain: Jurchen hunters and farmers of the upland valleys, outside the Jin routes and the Goryeo border.

How things stand that morning
Quiet; nothing recorded for the winter of 1199-1200 in what we could read.
Where the sources disagree

On the map: Rough outline; Jin prefecture boundaries are not fixed on any map we could use.
