Editing Do Chaka (section)

== Physical Geography ==

Do Chaka is a hilly province, most of which is covered by tropical forest. 

Its southern border is the sakbe road from [[Tumissa]] west to Kheiris, which follows a small tributray to the Tumissa river. All along this road lie small towns and villages in cleared agricultural land in a densely populated strip up to 80 tsan wide at the eastern end near Tumissa.

In the west the border with Mu'ugalavya is marked by the Barrier Range, a moderately sized range of hills and small mountains in the midst of the forest. There are several passes leading over into Mu'ugalavyani territory, each guarded by a small fortress. The civllian population of this area consists of mixed human and [[Pe Choi]] tribes of dubious loyalty to either state.

Along the upper valley of the Turina river lie numerous small agricultural villages, getting smaller and more isolated as you head upstream. Each has a patch of agricultural land round it rarely stretching more than 5-10 tsan into the forest. To the south of the valley there is another range of volcanic hills, the Nettu ridge, dotted with human forest villages. To the north of the valley lies the Seven Canyon Forest, a high limestone plateau cut by seven small rivers flowing south and north to the main river valleys, and the range of crags called the Inner Range. This area is rugged and covered in dense jungle and is the home of the wildest and most independent Pe Choi tribes, and the alleged site of the forest of Hh-kk-ssa.

Along the Chiktikan Valley which forms the northern border of the province settlement is denser with larger towns among the villages and a wider swathe of agricultural land has been established. Around this valley live the Kachor tribes, human tribesmen with their own variant culture. This area also has numerous silver mines.

The most densely populated part of the province lies to the east around the city of Paya Gupa. This is pleasant rolling hill country, with small patches of woodland on the highest hills, many of which hide the brooding black tombs of (possibly) departed [[Ito]] nobles.
