- Emerald Hall: A grand underground city crafted and connected to the ancient temples and area's that were created by the Go Nagai and their servants. Its massive statues are carved showing the elders and guardians who fought long ago against creatures like the Ren and the Taung.
Tribal Capitals: The nine continents of the world, seven across the planet and one at each of the poles. The different tribes have made their homes on them and created a wonderfully diverse world and culture from temples expanding continents to entire fortresses and unbreachable walls.
- Blue: The opulent and large temple of the Blue tribe expands their entire continent with tunnels leading down into lower wards and super blocks reaching up with tens of thousands of apartments and rooms for the pious members. Cascading waterfalls and mountains of steel and stone that shows the richness of the highly religious.
- Red: The volcanic temples of the red trible are overseen by floating cities. Given the dangerous magma streams below powerful repulsor and heat shielding is present to protect their homes. The hardy and strict people of the red mountains are great fighters who believe is total destruction of their enemies over surrender or peace. Carved channels lead the lava to the ocean while the city moves around the continent above. Their population is smaller but they live in comfort and luxury above.
- Indigo: The Metropolis and city centers of industry, the Indigo tribe has adopted many things from the galaxy but none more important then the need for commerce with large buildings for selling wares, factories pumping out supplies to meet the demands of the other tribes and people visiting the world.
- Violet: Wide fields and hige forests of trees, the Violet tribe live in large communal turts close to the ground while the forest and grass around them grows tall stretching to the sky. Their footprint on the world aside from small farmed patches of land is minimal.
- Orange: A strange place, from the outside to others it appears a sealed fortress that is never opened. Trade comes from its moon and communications from the main temples but as far as the people of the orange tribe they have taken a vow of silence working together to create this fortress with walls that tower into the sky, a rail system between the mountains and walls then into the larger section of the city with its walls and monolithic statures. The singular ruler of the tribe immortalized with stone and metal statues, his image on the flags and murals depicting his great deeds.
- Yellow: A dangerous continent, the capital is deep in the deserts among the shifting sands and divided into two sections. The rich and prestine Tel-Verda and the dank, dangerous and grimy Baz-eri. The leadership of the Yellow tribe roam the deserts going to the different oasis.
- Green: The lush jungles and vine covered temples, home to the spirit forest a place where the memories and presence of force echoes is strong. The force isn't strong creating a nexus but empaths and ones attuned to psychometry would feel the actions taken within. The ancient temples are home to the tree dwelling green tribe who are skilled craftsmen.
- White: The Northern tribe that live in a world where it is almost always bright and sunny. Charged with the safekeeping of the ancient shrine to the No-Zo within the Aesir shrine.
Necropolis: A frozen continent of the dead, with carved ice and marble temples depicting grotesques and and other murals of destruction. The Go Nagai built it long ago to house the tales of the worlds they fought across but it is still unclear if they destroyed the worlds or grafted themselves to the ancient legends.
- Black Tribe: A dangerous tribe who live in the south beyond the wastelands. The Shadow Citadel is where the tainted pool is kept and is filled with the Vu-la the leaders of the Black Tribe and the glaciers that make them so dangerous.
Spirit Forest:

- Aesir Shrine: The ancient site of the Go Nagai's leaders. The legendary ones who fought back against the Ren and slowly changed them from something weak and peaceful into the destructors of legend. Their greatest secret is within the shrine or said to be and the bones of defeated enemies were said to be in the mortor.

- The Silent Grove: A section of the jungle where a massacre took place with the taung and Tal. Their echoes in the force remain able to be felt and heard like a wound throughout the ages and can overwhelm ones sensitive like Kiffar.
- Image Credits: http://laama-harakas...e-Sea-133445730
- The Walking Sea: A massive cave system created when glaciers were covering the planet. Formed by the Go Nagai with large vaulted ceilings to harvest the ice and water with carved stone braces and enough space it could hold the ocean under ground. Then something happened as the ocean melted and swallowed the caverns it wasn't fully contained spilling out several feet on the surface of the planet.... Leaving behind something beautiful. Shallow sections where large monolithic statues look over deep pits leading into the ancient city and towards some of the deeper secrets of the world. The walk ways giving it the name the walking sea as caravans and speeders can travel over it avoiding the darker sections where it plunges down deep with some having barricades and railing to protect others.
- Violet Orchards: In the equator of the planet, extending for several kilometers, giant plantations of trees exist. After the first explorers found the place, they named it the Violet Orchards, after the violet, purple, and magenta leaves, barks and fruits of the trees. The blue tribe has always claimed that the first tree was a gift from the gods upon them, after a long drought, saving the lives of the tribes. However, to this day, it is not known how the Orchards came to be. Several theories have been raised, but no one has been accepted as truth between the scholars or the tribes. What is true about the trees is that they have medicinal purposes. It's fruits, leaves, and bark all have a compound by the name of Vetaspilin, that besides being a powerful antibiotic, is also a pain reliever. After the properties of the trees where found, Cazador soon became a major exporter of medicines, to all the expanse of the galaxy. The Violet Orchards are also a major tourist attraction on the planet, and many people come each year to observe the colorful trees on the planet.

Loa-Un: The City of the sea and built as a religious city. THe church here controls much while also allowing offworlders to join and become eventually citizens. The raging sea comes into a bay filled with ancient style ships for traveling across the sea and transporting equipment or fishing some of the larger and more dangerous fish of the sea.
Culture:
The Eight Tribes:
- Blue: The blue tribe on the planet has always been centered around the worship and adoration of several gods:
-Vel-mer: The main god for the blue tribe, and is also the god of the sun, and the fire.
-Tal-al: The god of the water, the rain, the rivers, the ocean, and the lakes.
-Ri-ol: The god of the earth, and nature.
-Ile-rei: The godess of love, comapassion, happiness, and hope.
-Geri-il: The godess of air, and fertility.
-Quir-nol: The god of death, suffering, war, anger and cruelty.
Each god, except for Quir-nol, which is feared and hated among the tribe as a harbinger of the apocalypse, has a shrine on the capital city, and a festival, in where all the tribe dances and rejoices for the god or goddess, offering them their harvest and other products.
The blue tribe is vegetarian, as they believe that eating meat is a step to become tainted by the influences of Quir-nol, and thus, leading to the destruction of the entire tribe. However they grow and feed others around the world taking an altruistic and charitable approach. They might not eat the meat but they know not everyone in the world world is like them.They also despise war, and their populace is known for being practical they prefer not to fight, they would rather find a peaceful solution but understand the danger that is nature and maintain an army.
Rarely used an only lightly trained they do not keep it for conquest but as a show of their faith. They instead focus on the bettering of the tribe, and the study of the world around them. Thanks to the blue tribe's efforts, many breakthroughs have been done, and some of Cazador's most renowed schools are located in the capital.
Though at first the territory and knowledge was limited to the blue tribe only, after the death of the 400 the Grand Priest, this law was overruled by the populace, which wanted to have contact with the other tribes, and share with them their religion and knowledge. In the present day, the blue tribe is ruled by the 739th Grand Priestess, and is in an era of peace with the rest of the tribes, except, of course, with the black tribe, which is regarded by the black tribe as worshipers of the god of death. They are also open to outsiders, who wish to study or work with them, and of course, to their religion.
The political system is based on the Grand Priest or Priestess, who is regarded as a leader, and is the one which has direct communion with the gods, and interprets their will. The Grand Priest also handles all affairs regarding politics with the help of a council, that also act as embassadors when needed. Their part in the blackest night which saw the exile and banishment of the darkside supporters and heretics was from a religious standpoint. The heretics from the Church of the Darkside were dangerous and would see them exploited.
- Red: The war like red tribe vaunt and show their power, show their skills in battle with great displays of their prowess, the males are in charge but often time their leaders regard the females as far more dangerous looking to their wisdom. The killing of enemies and feasting on their hearts is considered a common sight as it is a show of honor to those they have fought against and a good death.
- Indigo: The tribe of the sea... mostly they are sea faring and while technology has advanced they have still maintained their roots. Large ships built to go across the oceans, boats for fishing and even just fishing for the creatures of the world. They regard the world with a peace, believing in the circle of life but preferring the idea of middle ground. They'll maintain and support their soldiers... keep them fed and ready to fight at a moment notice but they will do everything possible for peace. They will eat animals but will not torture and slaughter them needlessly... the deaths are humane same as with criminals. Some are just not worthy of the life they were given and some people should die.
- Violet: The capital of the Violet tribe is a powerfully floral place. The tone within the stone work tinges it as their name sake from the soil. Their yurts are communal with less emphasis on building large buildings and industry and more focused on being of the earth. They are steadfast in their refusal to wage war or participate in battle. They denounce and condemn the actions taken in the Blackest night incident and do not have a former social structure. Preferring free love and near anarchy while still maintaining some ugly ships for movement between their continent and the moons.
- Orange: The one is dangerous, unlike others he isn't some grand religious group, he isn't some war monger who can fight throughout the system and he is not a hippie preaching peace... No the sole member of the orange tribe is a mad hermit who uses the skills he learned from illusionists to create constructs and ones to talk with for all to see but they don't do anything aside from what he wants. He is the sole and only god, everyday is a holiday and at midday every day he takes a nap.
- Yellow: The desert dwelling people of the yellow tribe are diverse. Living in different regions their moods are like the earth... from shifting sands to hard stone and everything in between. Their cities are divided into two classes for those who can afford splendor and those who cannot which is simple enough but the general divide from the leaders is there. The rich pay more therefore they should have amenities, they should have running water and waste disposal. It has led to riots and dangerous class warfare that can become violent. Their police force is highly trained by different mercenary groups, their desert riches often exploited to pay for these skilled gun fighters.
- Green: The nature conscious members of the green tribe are strong willed and resilient, building at one time in the past grand cities within their jungles and forests that were slowly reclaimed by nature in the dark times. Seeing their sins of abandoning and being punshed instead they have began to live around the vines and trees adopting a more spiritual but at the same time.. they are willing to move some of the nature. Use it for firewood and heat or carve it into homes. Their dwellings in the jungles are different built into the vary trees themselves using what they can and praising the gods of the blue tribe as their own.
- White: The often mythological white tribe are isolationist being one of the few to only appear in darker time. The Gulag plague brought them out of their frozen continent often called a savage land as in the center sits a crater created in ancient times with lush lands from thermal vents and heat. They have sections untouched by the rest of the world and do not allow visitors inside to protect the most ancient buildings of the planets people. The gulag plague brought them into view of the other tribes and interacted only enough to seal away the surviving Vu while warning all to stay away from the North Pole where they resided.
The Black Tribe: The ancient Vu who lived along side the Go Nagai, their time on the planet predates those who were enslaved and brought by the taungs, predates those who found the system after intersteller travel. They live in the southern most continent and work to spread their influence outwards from the planet to the system to the galaxy at large.
- The Black Hand: The caretakers of the parasites, the ones who have worked hard to ensure they live finding hosts to convert to their ways. Then securing and caring for the young until they are mature enough to survive.
- The Resurrected: The converted and servants of the masters. They have been joined with the parasites in the necropolis and come out of it changed to spread forward and bring the glory to the galaxy.
The Darkest Night: A dark time in the history of the planet, the black tribe sought to take over the planet and the Asobi system, as they rose to power infiltrating and converting slowly. With their power coming into full the onset of the Gulag Plague aided in the other tribes fighting against them. It is a day celebrated by many for its ending as the Darkness that came, the Gulag plague that had come to the galaxy while despised by many is celebrated among the people of Cazedor.
Paper Mages: The primary order of force users on the planet, they are treated special. Able to go throughout the tribes and hold special privilege able to kill or order as needed. The governments acknowledge this and have named them ghosts at times.
Ni-Gan-No-Zo: The ancient secret of the Go Nagai... or something they never stated and the members of the white tribe do not speak of it to each other let alone outsiders. The fabled artifact was said to be carried and all who looked upon it that was unworthy (which in Go Nagai society is everyone other then their species) would be smote by the heavens.
The Gulag Plague: A celebrated time compared to the rest of the galaxy, it might have killed billions possibly trillions in the galaxy but it saved the people of Cazador allowing them to fight back against the converted and infected with the Vu. It is met with a week long celebration where floats, pastries and artwork are exchanged between the tribes.
Technology: Galactic Standard with emphasis on each of the nine tribes having something they are specialized in (one is skilled smiths another artisans, others religious ect ect)
History:
The history of Cazador is written in blood, mostly the ones its original inhabitants spilled in their campaign across the then stars going against everything they could find after facing the first threat. The Go Nagai were peaceful... arrogant, willful and opinionated but peaceful on their world. Discovering sciences and following the mysticism of the force.
They eventually learned how to travel through the stars first to their moons and then to the worlds within their system. The ones near them that could sustain life they made settlements on, the ones they couldn't they slowly began working to create settlements on. It was their divine destiny to spread out among the stars in a great golden age of their people.
They met the Del-Ya a strange species but no less a friendly one towards them, the two groups worked together to till the lands and feed their people having trust. With their hands they crafted the citadels and temples to house and contain the Vu a dangerous and older being on their homeworld that they felt charged with ensuring never escaped into the galaxy at large.
They worked to turn Cazador into a world within the Asobi system, a great shining jewel that glittered like the middle eye of their species with Sekirei and Shri-Tal to the side. Then in their moment of greatest glory when they were at their height of society for the time something came from the stars. Beings promising peace and visiting from worlds beyond their own.
The Ren enthralled them, bringing ships able to travel through the dark of space and enter into another dimension entirely, they brought food and drinks from another series of planets even and befriended these small creatures as they stood like giants. Then something happened, the Ren revealed their true intentions and began to wage war against them.
At first the Go Nagai fought but they were outclassed, they had battled against each other in the past sure but never with giants. They didn't know how to fight in space, they didn't use nuclear weapons to destroy cities. The Go Nagai fought back as best they could but war is costly and soon they began to change. Their anger, their rage and their hatred turning them into something else.
They began killing the Ren, turning the tide as it were but slowly it changed, from simple victories emerged massacres and eventually they pushed back their destructors from the world, eventually the system and chased them beyond leaving for the dark space to follow them. On Cazador the people remaining were working to recover as they began to rebuild.
Then years later the Go nagai returned having enslaved the Ren, forcing them to serve as their slaves and rebuild the world, to build statures and temples to them as they continued to set out among the stars. Taking what they wanted and learning the lessons taught to them possibly more dangerously then intended. The world recovered flourishing as riches were discovered.
It was calmer as well, the war and destruction oriented Go Nagai were not gone they would return for tribute and more soldiers, They would demand their temples be bigger and more opulent. They continued to rule the system with an iron fist as more species came, the Gree whose technology dwarfed their own and established on Shri-Tal a hypergate later destroyed by the Go Nagai.
Other species came and were eventually forced back, their technology, their cultures either destroyed from the system, or case aside, from exploration they returned with riches from worlds few could ever think of and stories of creatures, or species no one had seen before. The planet of Cazador seemed to benefit from all of it in the end as well. Then the hypergate opened.
It had been felt at first, something happened in the unknown regions of space, soemthing that sent and reached the system itself. It wasn't known if the Go nagai would return but the hypergate opened and the fearsome Taung the Warriors of Shadow an ancient sisterhood took and established a foothold on Shri-Tal. Their slaves working to ensure their place.
The Go Nagai returned and the two planets waged war on each other, with the Taung abale to match the Ren slaves in terms of brutality in combat with weapons and ships, the Go nagai's force presence could drown them out but it slowly took its toll with sections of the world once against being scarred and the Taung emerging in triumph. They forced the Go nagai off the world into dark space.
The Taungs were notmuch different destroying the temples and relics of the previous species, separating the slaves across the world and waging war against the species of the planet. They massacred one such in the silent grove creating something of an echo, their brutality and their power having them in control of the world for a long time until slowly their died out.
The lack of genetic diversity plagued them and they retreated to Shri-Tal leaving the slaves, the survivors and species of Cazador to fend for themselves. Eventually the different tribes believing for the longest time they were the only ones left grew to adapt within their continents and explore. They knew there was more and worked to discover and grow.
They slowly rediscovered each other coming out of a dark ages of sorts with limited technology and communications, as the Asobi system recovered so did they eventually reestablishing communications with the other planets, with each other and the tribes were born. With the white tribe being something most believed in and had heard from once or twice but they were elusive.
As time ticked away, more beings came, different ones who were met with resistance or friendship, reestablishing ties with the outside world, with the galaxy at large as some of their cities dedicated to science and technology flourished. They joined the galactic community at times to the detriment as wars within the outer rim of the galaxy came to their doorstep.
The memories and hidden temples of the Old Ones, the Go Nagai, the Taungs, the Ren, the Vu were hidden away, lost, sealed, forgotten but preserved as deep in the earth the cities, the tunnels established were excavated to be used once again. By the time the Empire showed up claiming to have replaced the Republic the people of Cazador were safer, able to move through their world better.
The Empire sought to exploit them and creatures but they endangered everything, digging to far, too deep and into something the people of the southern continent had sought to hide from the galaxy. The temple of the Vu and their desire to not only be free but also to overtake the world once again. Ancient being and memories from a time before the Go nagai.
The empire awoke them, allowed them to start slowly infecting and converting others to their cause. So that by the time of the Gulag Plague (well before it) when they rose up in every tribe, taking leadership and seeking to take over the world. The onset of the plague aided the army in defeating them. Billions died but many more of them were infected the ancient parasites no more immune then humans.
The blackest night as it was called that went into the dark times was seen as a blessing, the gods were cruel but possibly ironic. There was something to be said when an ancient evil of your world arises that a galactic plague wipes everything out... No one really questioned the series of events or convenience. They just began to celebrate the grand day the Gulag plague saved the world.
The Dark Times brought the tribes back to their roots, to establishing connections and helping each other become better, to grow and bond. Their wars, their petty differences and beliefs were not as important as the grand scheme of things as new people came a sith empire, the Republic reemerged and visited, the Order of the Silver Jedi came to the system.
All were strange to see and all were welcome, they didn't bring hostile intent and would receive none as the tribes settled back into a life of existing and guarding their secrets, guarding their past until the Silver Jedi re-awoke the taung spirits and the hammers. The force ripple going across the world and making things react strangely. The reports that ancient ships were seen heading to Shri-Tal came as a surprise.
