The Star City

This perfectly square kingdom has seven walls surrounding it, each a differnt color. Reknown for its Universities and for its enchanted blown glass, the Ibok of the Star City are happy to give council to outsiders. In fact, it is a matter of national pride that their leaders are known for their hospitality.

Early History
Often, it seems, there will be a group within a warlike, nomadic people who are slower to anger, more ready to make camp, and less likely to lead a change. That is not to say they are not capable, but that it is, rather, in their nature to be more peaceful and sedintary. Such people from the various tribes of the Ghobi Wastes, in the 3rd Century, built the Star City and locked its doors against warlike horsemen.

Staying still, however, made them an easy target for the raiding women of Nyaliri-Mikano, who sought husbands this way up until the 4th Century. Thus, the seven walls were built and, while this didn't save the outermost villages, many were protected.

Households and Jul
The villages between the outermost walls of the Star City are known as Jul, each named for the color of the wall that protects them. The elders from the families of each Jul are in charge when it comes to small matters, like local theives and marriage oaths. These elders meet in each corner of the Jul every morning to ready themselves to discuss matters of the day.

Dragons and Giants
While several creatures tend to menace the Star City, they have always been more than capable of holding their own, and own no small amount of thanks to the protective efforts of their neighbors.

The Giants of the Ghobi

The Giants of the Ghobi, of course, have a long tradition of peaceful coexistance with the Star City
