The Termagent forest was old, very old. Jeseth had spoke of people aeons ago founding the Iron Citadel and planting the great forest to encompass and shroud them from the outside world. Indeed, it provided cover for the Krath and kept their presence on this planet unknown to most. With each of the trees growing to such heights as was rarely seen else where, it is hardly difficult to imagine that the Citadel could go unnoticed.
Or perhaps it was noticed.
Perhaps, one day a traveller chanced to see it, glinting on the horizon; a fleck of onyx amidst the sea of thick green and brown. Of course, mynock and vynock swept the skies of Koros Major day and night in an eternal guard of the planet. For this reason ships found it curiously difficult to pass over Cinnager.
This left only one option to who so ever should see the Citadel – to pass through the forest. Salem and the others had done this, under the watchful guide of Jeseth and Jehova. With Sith Masters spearheading their party, there was little to worry about, however an average rambler had much to be concerned over. One wrong step and he could quite literally be swallowed up by the forest…
Salem knelt, in the shadow, cradling something in his hand. A seed, a seed to grow life with. It was small, round and hard and it reflected the light from the moon as Salem passed it from hand to hand.
It truly was precious, a unique thing that could not be found elsewhere on this planet. The vampire himself had purchased it, whilst on Coruscant trawling through libraries through information. Now he intended to plant it.

"Gardening, Salem? I suppose you're going to plant a row of pretty petunias to add some color to our home?"
Coincidentally, that's exactly what's Sorreessa's doing back at his village home.
"Or does this serve a more practical purpose than decoration?"

“You’re so easy to get going.” He added. He hadn’t spoken much before, choosing more to watch and learn of his peers than to really interact with them. Jeseth had led him here and left him here and to some degree, he harbored a grudge for business being left unfinished.
But now that he had had this time to learn from them, his training with Cold coming along at a satisfactory pace, he was beginning to come out of his shell a bit, willing to reach out as he had not been before.

Sebastian nodded a bit at Inu’s last remark.
“Ive heard of such things happening…” He responded, his gaze catching Inu’s for a moment. He didn’t know him well at all, but realized there was probably a thing or two (or more) that he could learn from him. And perhaps would put in the effort to get to know him.
“With so many of us around it so often, do you think theres a risk of over exposure?” He asked, looking back to Salem, the all knowing planter of Baffor tree seeds.

Sebastian nodded.
"Sounds like you have this pretty much thought out..." He replied, moving from where he had been bent to study the seed and raising to his full height.
He stuffed his hands in the pockets of his coat.
"How will you get them to multiply? Does it grow some sort of fruit with seeds?"

The Termagent forest was old, very old. Jeseth had spoke of people aeons ago founding the Iron Citadel and planting the great forest to encompass and shroud them from the outside world. Indeed, it provided cover for the Krath and kept their presence on this planet unknown to most. With each of the trees growing to such heights as was rarely seen else where, it is hardly difficult to imagine that the Citadel could go unnoticed.
Or perhaps it was noticed.
Perhaps, one day a traveller chanced to see it, glinting on the horizon; a fleck of onyx amidst the sea of thick green and brown. Of course, mynock and vynock swept the skies of Koros Major day and night in an eternal guard of the planet. For this reason ships found it curiously difficult to pass over Cinnager.
This left only one option to who so ever should see the Citadel – to pass through the forest. Salem and the others had done this, under the watchful guide of Jeseth and Jehova. With Sith Masters spearheading their party, there was little to worry about, however an average rambler had much to be concerned over. One wrong step and he could quite literally be swallowed up by the forest…
Salem knelt, in the shadow, cradling something in his hand. A seed, a seed to grow life with. It was small, round and hard and it reflected the light from the moon as Salem passed it from hand to hand.
It truly was precious, a unique thing that could not be found elsewhere on this planet. The vampire himself had purchased it, whilst on Coruscant trawling through libraries through information. Now he intended to plant it.

Sebastian nodded a bit at Inu’s last remark.
“Ive heard of such things happening…” He responded, his gaze catching Inu’s for a moment. He didn’t know him well at all, but realized there was probably a thing or two (or more) that he could learn from him. And perhaps would put in the effort to get to know him.
“With so many of us around it so often, do you think theres a risk of over exposure?” He asked, looking back to Salem, the all knowing planter of Baffor tree seeds.

Sebastian nodded.
"Sounds like you have this pretty much thought out..." He replied, moving from where he had been bent to study the seed and raising to his full height.
He stuffed his hands in the pockets of his coat.
"How will you get them to multiply? Does it grow some sort of fruit with seeds?"
