Kismet

Kismet is a planet of the Virasana Empire, the ancestral home to House Ndewane. Kismet is a desert planet best know for the sprawling Ukhoko Necropolis, though it is also a centre of high-tech research and development.

Most of Kismet's music is shaped by ancient tradition - chants, chimes and bells feature heavily in every sanctioned piece. 
Despite its desert climate, Kismet is the source of much of the empire's most sought-after fruits. Kismet's spices are pungent and yet delicate, and local curries are renowned for good reason. The Kismeti Chantara ceremony, serving the popular local beverage Chan'ta, is considered the height of good manners. 
Monumental statues are such a mainstay of Kismeti culture that every citizen of the empire could probably draw one of them from memory. Giant, stern faces, odd chimeras and immense statues can be found everywhere on the planet, though nowhere as densely piled as within the Necropolis. 
Only few plants grow in the Kismeti deserts, but those make for precious incense. Along the rivesbeds of the southern Tpoti plain grows Lokuma - a hard-shelled fruit that contains one of the core ingredients of MiracleMend. 
With the only abundant material on the planet being sand, it is not surprising that glass-working has become a particularly cherished art from on Kismet. 
Less obvious but just as consequential the mesmerizing art of designing gardens and fountains in the local palaces - stunning places that rival the legendary Medina gardens of old, only never open to the public. 
The wide, empty swathes of desert have given rise to break-neck glider races, while the most popular sports are all sorts of endurance-focussed athletics. Kismet also has a relatively successful hoverball team - the Kismeti Izilwane

* The K'loma desert of Kismet is renowned for its fulgurite forests - remnants of ancient lightning strikes that turned the sand into finely branching sculptures of glass, laid bare by centuries of wind erosion.
