Vahan

Vahan was an exploited town in The Republic of Xenosia used mainly for harvesting ores and turning them into iron.

## History

Vahan is an ancient kingdom, marked by its revolutions and revolts. It was founded by a Wyrm whose name has been lost to time, but as far as we know he was extremely tyrannical. It's said that his corpse decayed to become the sands of the desert.

The Wyrm ruled with a iron fist, his servants were slaves to his eyes, he forced them to work all the time. It was during this time the Citadel was built, Vahan's capital, which stands to this day.

But normal Vahan fashion, a revolution happened led by a figure know as "The Deserter" which helped the Vahanese people exile the Wyrm, and this created a power vacuum from which Vahan never recovered. It was dictator after dictator, each worse than the other.

The many dictators were weirdly into slave trade and they used to snatch people from Theocracy of Guham to sell.

Nowadays the Vahanese people await a prophecy, that one day both the Wyrm and The Deserter will come back and start the last war for rulership, but until then, they await patiently.

A proof of that is the Mold, a organism said to have been released by the Wyrm itself as revenge for its exile.

Now their new dictator is The Xenosian Republic, and as usual, the Vahanese don't like them.

Vahanese people are forever sceptical and a lot suffer from some sort of insanity, for their nature is like that.

## Fauna

* Sandworms - Giant behemoths that swim through the sand.
* Scareener - Moderately powerful critter.
* Phorficula - Intelligent predators.

## Areas

* Titan Mining Station: Enormous mining station built by Xenosia and with an equally huge drill inside. The operation of this drill created the Great Fall.

* Sandworm Hunting Grounds: The place sandworms go to hunt. There's a failed mining site there because the vibrations of the attempt of building it caused the sandworms to go ape shit and murder everyone.

* Vahan: the main town, people there are over exploited by Xenosia and are indocrinated to never leave their region, mostly through religion. They also live in extreme poverty.

* The Depleted Wastelands: Completely overexploited lands, it is full of a toxic liquid thanks to all the mining waste and air so distasteful it might cause one to belch.

* The Mine: the main entrance to the cavern system, used to be mainly a mining place but later became more of a passage while the main mining operations were moved somewhere else.

* Exhausted Ore Deposit: completely overexploited ore deposit, got some incredibly bad poisonous gas problems, so bad in fact, that it's entrance had to be blocked by a fake wall.

* Sand Fortress: Fortress restored by some Vahanese people to stop the sandworms from spreading through the whole territory, legends say it used to be a temple used by the old Vahan kingdom to worship the sandworms.

* Sandworm Basin: An extremely dangerous place, whenever the sandworms are not hunting or laying eggs, they will be there. If you can't fight them you're pretty much dead. The place is also agonizingly dark.

* Citadel: The old capital of Ancient Vahan, used to be a pretty nice place, now it's mainly inhabited by workers of Vahan, the place is literally miserable, smells like moldy wet trash and the people there are infamous for being completely nuts.

* The Nest: Basically the place where the sandworms are born. Very dangerous, not only because of the sandworms, but also because the air there is very toxic with the Mold that infant sandworms feed on.

* Moldy Sewers: Basically the Waterways of the Citadel, it's now overrun with mold, completely impossible to enter without some proper equipment.

* Farm Facility: Some sort of garden that stores and grows food for the whole Citadel and the rest of the regions. As you may notice, it's very close to the mold, and in fact, everything there is moldy, but as people don't see it they assume everything is fine.

* Forgotten Caverns (not affiliated with the current RP name): Completely mold filled caverns, literally uninhabitable and even strong equipment may not withstand the sheer amount of mold. Filled with walking corpses and generally speaking, an area that you would not want to be in, it's also the main responsible for spreading the mold to the whole cave system.

* Distorted Oasis: A completely moldy place. It earned its name because its basically a rainforest in the middle of the desert but instead of tree it's ugly mold, nothing can survive there for much time even with state of the art equipment. Sandworms, Vessels, insects, stags, Tiktiks everything that enters that place is dead meat, mainly because the place is so overfilled with mold that your whole body would get covered in it seconds after you enter
