Planet
Karn-Tor IX
Centre of Cyborg power — a vertical factory-world where mechanical order has prevailed over the living.
Karn-Tor IX is the core of Cyborg power. It was once a lush planet: after the regicide of Oramor Vael’Oran, the fleeing Cyborgs remade it into a single gigantic factory. Its sky is most often dark, its lights red, its structures geometric — and its natural regions almost entirely swallowed by the machine.
Karn-Tor IX before the Cyborgs
Before the Cyborgs came, Karn-Tor IX was a planet covered in great forests. The Arazian archives keep the memory of its flora and fauna, almost entirely swallowed by the machine — only one fossilised fragment remains, beneath a cracked dome.
The flora of before
The golopt
The golopt was a tree with a blue trunk, whose square red and yellow leaves formed a chequered canopy unique in the Norya Belt.
The feuctre
The feuctre was a plant that granted the power of invincibility to whoever consumed it. Whether a single feuctre survived the machine is unknown — some believe the Cyborgs destroyed them all as a precaution.
The fauna of before
The javo
The javo was an animal black, blue, red, white and green, covered in fur and spots, bearing horns and dozens of eyes. No javo has been seen since the planet was transformed.

Karn-Tor IX is not merely a place. It is a standing demonstration that the Cyborgs count the transformation of a world as proof of superiority.
