Key locations that can be found on the planet Kanetsu, home of Desert Class Dragons, the Squama, and the Lidaes.
Other Races Present: Squama, Lidae
Temperatures: 100-25 degrees F
Kanetsu is home to Desert Class Dragons. Kanetsu is a desert planet, all you can find is sand, desert plants, desert creatures, a few pyramids, and villages. Because there is very little vegetation to hide in, dragons and Squama have adapted to burying themselves in the sand to ambush their prey or in the case of Desert Dragons, use sandstorms to kill their prey.
Because of the lack of moisture like on Earth with their deserts, temperatures get as hot as 100 and cold as 25. Typical weather is sandstorms, and the occasional random storm that Anubis Dragons can summon up.
The Squama City. The stone structures of Tol’Raka City provide shade from the intense heat of Kanetsu for the numerous Squama that inhabit the city. Its box-like layout helps channel water throughout the city and helps any nearby villages with artificial rivers that flowed from the city that sat upon a mesa.
The Squama Village. The village sits at the base of the Tol’Raka mesa and is even built within the mesa itself. Using bridges to connect the two halves of Mak’dal that had been split with one of the largest rivers that flowed from Tol’Raka. The Squama dubbed this river: Mak’raka River.
The Desert Squama Village. Z’karal sits within a lone oasis in Kanetsu. The sandstone buildings encircle the small pond that sits below a lone palm tree. Its location serves as a safe haven for travelers who move through Kanetsu’s massive desert.
The Desert Axol Village. This village is located within an oasis which is used for the Astromantas of Kanetsu. The buildings are made of sandstone and at times clay that had been dried in the hot sun. Desert Axols are quite skilled with their building tactics.
The Lidae city. Sandhoof Basin acts as an oasis for weary travelers as well as a bazaar for traveling merchants. Many of the Lidaes found here have shops that they set up routinely to sell their wares before moving on between the various villages, outposts, and Tol’Raka City. The structure of the city is a variety of shop stalls and a few sandstone buildings for the elders of the city who no longer travel around.
The Lidae village. Dunesong, much like Sandhoof Basin, is an oasis for weary travelers. Many of the resident Lidaes here are either elders who no longer travel or families with young children that aren't able to travel yet. The few stands that are present here are for travelers to restock on supplies as well as some stands that sell a variety of packs to fit any traveler passing through.
The Desert Lidae village. Similarly to Sandhoof Basin and Dunesong Village, Heatcrest Landing is a resupply oasis village for travelers. Heatcrest is also a pretty successful farm village. The Desert Lidaes managed to grow a variety of crops and they raise livestock for their wool, meat, and leather, much like how they had once been used in ancient times themselves. They take far less barbaric measures when processing their livestock however, making sure the animals don't feel fear or pain. The Desert Lidaes take pride in their methods to the point they have taught other livestock raising races their methods to ensure better quality meat free of any signs of stress.
The Guardian Lidae village. A livestock village that raises animals for a variety of their resources. Because the Guardian Lidaes were so efficient at protecting livestock for the Forgeclimbers in ancient times, they took their skills and turned their village into a livestock town. Guardian Lidaes that travel around always make stops in El Barranco to collect the livestock products to sell across Kanetsu. Guardian Lidaes use the same methods as the Desert Lidaes when it comes to slaughtering their animals. Guardian Lidaes also have their wool sheared regularly to sell as is or made into clothing to sell off planet.
The Wooly Lidae village. Not a commonly visited village, Suristone is also a livestock village, though their choice of livestock is just an additional means of product they can sell. Wooly Lidaes still get their own wool sheared and sell it, but they also shear their livestock and sell the fiber they produce as well. Travelling merchants are the only visitors they typically get to trade the wool and clothing they produce in the village. The majority of their products are taken off planet to sell.
An outpost run by the Battoise. Thanks to their advanced skills in weaponry, they train anyone interested in various disciplines. Alongside this they also forge weapons for their students and sell weapons for anyone in need of skilled craftsmanship.
A research outpost run by the Desert Tenkkoa. The sandstorms of Kanetsu appear to be unpredictable and random. The Desert Tenkkoa have taken the liberty of researching these storms and trying to figure out a pattern to them.
A trading outpost run by the Trolls. The Trolls primarily rely on shipments from Engimanis to create the potions and brews they sell. At times they will use what little vegetation is on Kanetsu for their mixes, sometimes even using the fauna as well.
A security outpost run by the Skeletons. Their appearance alone is enough to scare some people and they tend to thrive in any environment, so the Skeletons offer security services.
An outpost run by the Dymaleons. The inhabitants of this outpost are Dymaleons who lived within the desert of Centiperon, allowing them to thrive and be able to identify any insects they find. They also sell various interesting potions using ingredients from Centiperon.
A trading outpost run by the Desert Vulcyon. With the amount of trade the Desert Vulcyon do with the Lidaes, they decided to set up an outpost to always be close to the Lidaes to trade their wares. While this is considered a Desert Vulcyon outpost, there is usually a large number of Lidaes found at Sandyfur.
The Kanetsu Temple. A temple surrounded by sand dunes to keep it hidden in a way. The temple is a gift to the Venom Dragon Goddess Spantex.
Kanetsu Sandstone Caverns
The depths of Kanetsu. Living up to its name, the Kanetsu depths are a vast amount of caverns made of sandstone. There appears to be a magical element to the sandstone as well. Cavern Orcs regularly harvest the sandstone, only for the stone to replenish itself days after harvest. Nobody has been able to figure out how the sandstone does this, but it has been considered a renewable resource that never runs out.
The Spitting Squama village. While considered a village, Bleakscale consists of using the natural structures of the Sandstone Caverns as their means of shelter and rely on camouflage to keep their village safe. They have no land markers to actually signify where their village is located, relying primarily on their excellent sense of smell to find it. Very few outsiders can actually locate Bleakscale.
The Horned Lidae village. Unlike Bleakscale Grotto, Dryhorn Village is pretty simple to locate and much like the other Lidae villages also acts as a resupply oasis for weary travelers who visit the Sandstone Caverns. Horned Lidaes sell their cut horns in their village and trade other various resources with traveling merchants.
The Cavern Orc outpost. Due to their proficiency in harvesting stone, the Cavern Orcs use this outpost in the Kanetsu depths to harvest sandstone for various buildings within the villages and cities on the surface of Kanetsu. The Cavern Orcs have adapted to the strange lifeforms found on Kanetsu and are able to easily live off the resources found on the planet.
