OOC: okay, there is no hive city or cities on Borok, there never were. Borok is (or was) a planet that for the most part was a lot like European countryside. True it did have several mountain ranges that passed here and there, but it isn't until you get out closer to the edges of the continent that you find a different type of climate. Basically, the further in with Borok you go, the colder the climate. To compare it with earth standards, the outer part is like Spain or Italy in some places, then as you get in further, it becomes more like France or Germany, until you reach the parts going from Britain into Norway and eventually at the centre the equivilant of far north Greenland. So the continent is actually cantered around the top of the planet, with the centre part covered in snow, and with a lot more mountains, and the warmer areas are around the edges, as we draw nearer the equater. Below this line, there isn't much except for the occasional scattered islands, the largest ones only about the size of Papua New Guinea.

Human civilisation there is pretty much just rural, with the only exceptions being the smaller towns and cities, which are found closer to the centre. It is here that the PDF has its highest concentrations, and probably where chaos has its as well.

IC: Xerex has been congratulated for his success, but his report of his, 'emotional' experiences give his superiors much to think about. Dagorekh with draws into a council with his overlords.

(D) "So, if what Xerex says is true, then the stories about the shards just might be as well."

(C) "Yes, but, well. How does that help us? Our race gave up their souls a long time ago, Xerex can only have been experiencing what little it is that the C'tan did not devour."

(F) "that is where you must be wrong Cortekh. The C'tan didn't believe in 'leftovers'; they gorged themselves on the lot!"

(D) "We cannot act hastily in this matter, it would be unwise to raise false hopes. But, this is not the first I have heard of similar experiences. All have taken place whilst in close proximity to objects from the dynasty's golden age, in the time of flesh. Even then these events are rare, an usually ridden off as faults in the programming. Faults which quickly expelled."

Dagorekh stares at his hand; skeletal, metal and lifeless.

(C) "Sometimes I find it hard to picture a time before this."

(F) "I believe we are wasting time on this matter. It can be investigated further at a later time. For now, the planet Xenalor, or Borok as the humans call it, should be our main target. We need to secure the next piece if the artefact, and this time it will not be so easy to reach the nearby vicinity unnoticed. The taints of the Immatrium are everywhere, it would be impossible to proceed without detection once we are within the deeper parts of their realm. I request to lead the expedition myself."

(D) "Granted. But take caution. I would hate loose such a skilled general as yourself. We have few, if any to replace you."

(F) "Understood."

OOC: in case you didn't know:

(D): Dagorekh

(C): Cortekh

(F): Forenekh
