When Governor Heh Shan-Bao took office in Willowshore, he ordered several new warehouses and a trade office to be built here, hoping to expand the town's industry and connection with the coastal fortress of Karahai. On Granny Hu's advice, Shan-Bao handpicked the local Kofusachi priest, Kim Gu-won, to take the post of Exchange Manager. Gu-won reluctantly accepted the job, knowing that with what Granny Hu has on him, he wouldn't be able to refuse.
