Shan Fan

Chinese warlords can count on one safe haven in the Maze: the port city of Shan Fan, located about 300 miles north of Lost Angels.

Government

Rather than an elected government, the city is run by the Shan Fan Triad —the most powerful in California. Leader T’Sang Po Tam—popularly known as Big Ears Tam —oversees all of Shan Fan. Every tong gang in the city pays tribute to him.

Industry & Trade

Shan Fan acts as a waypoint for ghost rock shipments heading south, as well as a convenient place for Maze pirates to fence their ill-gotten gains.

Infrastructure

Shan Fan boasts two railheads providing transcontinental service: the Iron Dragon and Denver-Pacific depots. The Iron Dragon line runs south through the Maze as far as Lost Angels, and north to Seattle and all points east. The Denver-Pacific line runs east across the Great Basin to the City o’ Gloom, which provides direct access to all manner of New Science imports.
