Runzheng Zhou

Runzheng Zhou, Baron of Star Rising, was a Harchongese nobleman and officer in the Imperial Hachongese Army.

Zhou had an unusually sympathetic and responsible attitude toward his serfs.

He held the rank of Lord of Foot in the IHA.

In the Year of God 903, following the serf rebellion in the provinces of North Harchong, he was among those who attempted to restore order in the provinces of Boisseau and Cheshire. The Emperor's refusal to acknowledge those efforts and their resulting legitimacy led to the proclamation of the United Provinces, an independent nation in West Harchong.
