Tekra

Beyond the Barricade range stretches a vast arid landscape of foothills and plains. Five huge rivers carve valleys and canyons in their lateral journey to the WEST ocean. The cliff faces of these gorges are absolutely pocked with tiny entrances to wide and comfortable burrows. These United Warrens, whose population exceeds 2 million (and steadily rises). The busy rodents mine, fish and grow tubers in the river basins. The entire region is dominated by the sheer numbers of the Tekrans. Rarely seen are the gigantic Horrors that once roamed the land.

The rumply Northeast Peninsula is an active super-volcanic rim, hence the aptly named Boiling Sea some ten miles off shore. There, and the nearby isles are a haven to fungi and bizarre insects. Among them is the Seeker Moth, which is domesticated for its ability to carry messages to well-lit beacons. The Seeker Larva produces a soft yet sturdy silk, which is responsible for the affluence of Silkport, Tekra’s capital.
