## Planetary Map & Points of Interest

**Moons**

The moons of Dromund Kaas were christened by the then self-declared Sith Emperor. While many expected him to name the capital city or prominent landmarks after himself, Vitiate preferred a constant, looming reminder to his Empire that he had brought them to Dromund Kaas, and that he was always watching them. By 600 Imperial, it was widely accepted that the Emperor had installed a clandestine group, operating outside Imperial Intelligence, on both moons in order to keep even closer tabs on the Empire, though this was never proven.

**Points of Interest**

*x. Dzizroqad  (“Bringer of Ruin”)*

The continent of Shikat Sahlaj, originally called Zaijaratif (“green isle”), was renamed when this massive volcano erupted in 137 Imperial, wreaking havoc on the settlements on the main part of the continent, as well as on the coasts of Sedukaz and Jongaib.  To this day, Shikat Sahlaj is mainly settled on the lower part of the continent, around Botaj Aprom, and the sites of the first settlements are mainly avoided, often with references to Kegimqâshwokfimlak.

*z. Mognosk (“Seat of Knowledge”)*

The island across the Wailing, it is home to the Dark Temple and a massive abandoned quarry, never used by the Empire.  The dock is on a narrow spit of land at the bottom of a sheer cliff; one must navigate a treacherous switchback path cut into the face of the cliff itself in order to reach the wide, imposing stone stairs leading to the temple.  The shrieking of the wind through the Wailing can be heard everywhere on Mognosk, and it’s whispered in more susceptible corners that one can be driven mad from the sound alone, let alone the influence of the temple and its many restless spirits.  The quarry is also avoided, the scene of stories more often told by wild-eyed children trying to scare their classmates in the preparatory academies.  Instructors exchange looks even as they scoff at such “nonsense,” knowing that very often, such stories spring from reality and disturbances in the Force.
