Vulcan (planet)/Provinces of Na'nam: Difference between revisions

Da'kum'Ulcha used to be called Devlarm, and was a city that had a population of just over one million. According to legend, it was also where the first ship capable of space flight was built, and for that reason the city was destroyed. Being the first to reach space was seen by many of the warlords as the ultimate way to gain status and advantage over the others. When his rivals learned that Warlord Dvir's technicians were close to completing a ship, all the neighboring lords from as far as Xial jockeyed for influence and power either by sabotage or negotiation. While the other houses attempted to negotiate with Dvir, the warlord Nu'val decided to stop the project at all costs. So without warning Nu'val's sky force leveled Devlarm - archaeologists theorize that Nu'val used an overwhelming strike of neutron warheads. Within a matter of seconds, nearly ninety percent of the population of Devlarm was vaporized along with the launch facility, although the city remained surprisingly intact. The historical records for the area break off abruptly at that point. Some of the people that have visited the city swear they have heard the sounds of the dying in the howling winds.

This small commune is devoted to teaching the ways of healing and preserving life, such as the Path of ''Shan''. Located about ten kilometers east of ShirKahr, it is one of the few monateries that accepts outsiders - even non-Vulcans. Many visit the commune for its combination of peacefulness and accessibility, and some even learn different healing techniques. The commune also teaches several methods of meditation and trance-inducing techniques.
