Not necessary to add this to the lore, but just putting it here for reference:

[hider=Polaris | Beidou Qixing][h3]Polaris[/h3][indent]Also known by its Chinese name [i]Běidǒu Qīxīng[/i] (北斗七星) or [i]Hokuto Shichisei[/i] in Japan, Polaris is a secretive organization based in Asia, dating as far back as the Chinese Civil War period. Originated from Suilan, its influence has spread beyond China, with followers from all over Asia. The cult is headed by seven leaders, called Spirits: at the very top, Yin and Yang, followed by [i]Wu Xing[/i], or the Five Elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth). While records about this shadowy group are scarce, there are numerous rumors about them, such as some of the top Chinese government officials may be descendants of the cult, suspected of performing 'rituals' or 'dark magic' (inhuman experiments) to create a powerful Metahuman army of their own, even having absolute control over the Asian underworld. They may also have some connections with the Founding Family...[/indent][/hider]
[hider=Suilan (updated)][h3]Suilan (隋岚)[/h3][indent]If Shanghai and Xiamen are compared to New York City and Los Angeles respectively, then Suilan is like a bastard child of Sans Francisco. Originally a port city, it grew in size after the merger of nearby rural regions into bigger towns and relocation of the people in these areas into the city after the Cultural Revolution in the late 1970s; rapid development has completely transformed Suilan into the second largest city in the Fujian Province after Xiamen, and it's also the largest Metahuman hotspot in China. Situated along the borders of Fujian to its north and Guangzhou to the south, and facing the sea to the east with the south of Taiwan just across the waters - the climate here has similar four-seasonal changes, but not cold enough to get any snow (on the other hand, typhoon is a common occurrence). Population primarily consists of Han Chinese - specifically Metahuman Chinese, making it the "Asian Black Fall". Besides the official common language Mandarin, Min (Hokkien) and Cantonese are the two most common dialects spoken here, then followed by Teochew and Hakka. Fujian was also the starting point of Cheng Ho's sea voyage across the world during the Ming Dynasty, hence the myth that most Asian Metahumans may be descendants of the Suilan people (this legend was never proven).
 
Suilan is no different from most metropolitan cities in the world: it's split into several districts, each with a specific purpose such as a business district, a shopping district, an industrial district, etc; the old port is even rebuilt into a seaside amusement park (the entrance fee is extremely pricey though). There's even a ferry service to go across the straits to Taiwan, a much cheaper alternative than flying by air. Most of its economic wealth comes from overseas investors (mainly the Southeast Asian countries) and from tourism - it's well-known for its exotic Southern Chinese cuisine, a harmonic combination of Fujian/Taiwan and Guangdong/Hong Kong style.

Oh yes.) It's also a haven of top-quality Chinese tea such as oolong, pu'er, and many more, which are perfect to bring home as souvenirs.
 
It's where the headquarters of MAP is currently located, and also where the mysterious underground cult "Polaris" (北斗七星, [i]Beidou Qixing[/i]) is originated from.[/indent][/hider]
