It floats around a great yellow star along with two tiny planets in the same orbit and a small greenish sun in and irregular orbit. The Two tiny planets are called the Twins Cesa and Irik. The Green sun is called Wanderer. The green sun orbits on a complicated path that brings it by the two tiny worlds in the system every 60 years and near Calrabon every 400 years. The passage of the Wanderer causes wild growth in plants and animals. Some of the extreme growth can be stable enough to allow the enlarged plants and animals to reproduce normally in the enlarged size. | |

Technologically this place is a bit more advanced than Amber, having embraced electronics after Patternfall. The infusion of high tech is being warmly and enthusiastically greeted. Otherwise all the same technologies, cosmologies, and magic forms match Amber, but Magery and warlockery work too. | Technologically this place is a bit more advanced than Amber, having embraced electronics after Patternfall.

+ | '''Government and the Golden Circle.''' | ||
− | + | The government of Calrabon is republican with each Tower providing a Senator to the Senate of Calrabon. Each Tower administrates the Chamber establishments in their region. The Senator is responsible for military defense in their region and may be called on by other Towers incase of extra heavy animal activity. While warfare between Towers in well-known, it is rarely on a large scale. Also, when groups of large animals attack a Tower feuding is set aside for the common good. | |

During the time of trials, when Oberon and the boys were stomping nasties, the Calro, a particularly competent tribe of men, domesticated the Buffalo. These are not the common buffs one thinks of. These are massive, 16 foot tall meat-heavy buffalo. Docile creatures that live off the plentiful grasslands are herded and efficiently executed then rendered down to cuts. One of the most common magics is the preservation spell that wraps the cut meat and keeps it fresh. | During the time of trials, when Oberon and the boys were stomping nasties, the Calro, a particularly competent tribe of men, domesticated the Buffalo.

The galleries, halls, houses and shops are filled with huge slabs of delicious meat. The trump delivers you outside a southern entrance called Rilor Gate. The first Chamber on the left, is a single Restaurant. It is the shadow-famous eatery called Oberon's Fire. A never-failing barbecue cooks huge slabs of meat for easy eating. Potatoes, and a wide selection of vegies mix up a menu consisting of 4 or 5 different type of meats, dominated by Buff steak. A giant chicken-like bird called Fetrry is a close second to buffalo. Alligator, snake, and a collection of huge fish round out the meats of the menu. Snake is a common meat animal in Calrabon, being about 8 feet long and a foot wide. Snar snake tastes like chicken but really, really good chicken. | The galleries, halls, houses and shops are filled with huge slabs of delicious meat.
