				Near the equator of Takrin sits one of the most fertile grounds on the entire planet where the small patches of green&nbsp; dot the land and fields of sugar cane grow, tended by farmers and slaves as the second most common export. These fields were located at the bottom of the mountain range known as the scarred peaks with the cahlind river flowing outward across the land. <br><br>At the foot of the mountains holds massive mines that had been dug out for an age, always expanding deeper and deeper into the earth as metals of all kinds were taken out and used but in the last few years they had become the tribes most common export. At the foot of the mountains were small shanty towns where the slaves and elderly lived, forever tasked with mining and farming. Each town was little more then a city of tents but roving observation robots kept people honest and in line. As long as they worked hard and avoided crime they would be cared for, though small uprisings were common every few years and often resulted in mass executions<br><br>At the top of the scarred peaks sat the ancient city belonging to the Val'urk tribe: Char. While most tribes on Takrin lived in relative poverty Char stood as a testament of what could have been. It was a technological marvel but small with a population of only around a thousand. The roads were paved with smooth stone and its buildings made of sandstone, each one having intricate designs carved into the smooth blocks. The outer wall was made of granite and upon each guard tower sat a massive orbital laser, able to melt the hull of the largest enemy craft. At night the city would light up and become a beacon that defied the normal tribal societies of Takrin and the effects of night. <br><br>Though Char was not a city of warriors, it was a city of scientists and learning. Home to one of the few Universities devoted to higher learning on the entire planet and with the combined focus of the tribe and its small numbers small conveniences like indoor plumbing were common. <br><br>Yet the city in the peaks was only the city people could see. Underneath in facilities dug out ages ago nearly two dozen laboratories and a half dozen hangers existed, accessible only from the palace. In them the tribe focused on all manner of scientific pursuit but these labortories had done much for the planet already, curing diseases, finding new ways to grow crops, and Char's renewable energy supply came from the first piece of technology ever developed in them. <br><br>Yet the greatest structure in all of char was easily the crystal palace. A massive structure made of an artificially created crystal by a technology developed centuries ago and lost to time. Every inch of the palace was made of a thin white crystal that was as hard as steel but also absorbed solar energy, powering nearly every building in the city. Within the palace was the crystal throne, where the leader of the Val'urk tribe resided. <br><br><br><br>
