The Youzhou Forest Clan is a local power in the Northern Border and one of the oldest Noble Clans in the Great Tang Dynasty.
The Jiangzhou Lin Clan was originally a branch that split off from the Youzhou Forest Clan and established itself after migrating south.
For the past few hundred years, the Youzhou Forest Clan has had constant friction with Prince Zhao's Mansion, whose fiefdom is also in the Northern Border. This has made them appear more subdued than before. However, their latent power has always been substantial, and their deep-seated influence extends beyond Youzhou.
Throughout the Great Tang's Northern Border, their presence is profoundly felt.
Despite sharing the same ancestral roots, the relationship between the Jiangzhou Lin Clan and the Youzhou Forest Clan is not harmonious.
Expecting the Youzhou Forest Clan to go out of its way to help the Jiangzhou Lin Clan is unrealistic. At best, not hindering them is already doing Lin Che and the others a great service.
