“ The sun set behind the temple’s pinnacle, its golden rays beaming through the hundreds of rectangular openings patterning the massive pyramid.
The building was a fantastic feat of human engineering, as awesome as the mountains themselves, built over two millennia earlier...”
GEOGRAPHY
Biomes: Semi-arid desert, savanna, chaparral, high alpine, temperate broadleaf, wetland, tropical and temperate rainforests
History: Suqwas was occupied by six distinct indigenous peoples: the rainforest-dwelling Sypayos; the high-plateau and mountain-dwelling Tawanians; the wetland-fishing Dahosens (ancient territory includes southeast Baninchi); Kobandans (includes Hichizuns) in the tropical lowlands and savanna of northern Suqwas. The Tochans shared ancestral roots with the Tawanians but formed their own unique culture and language, one enmeshed in the dry desert and savanna of northwest Suqwas. The Macuns also shared heritage with the Tawans, but distinguished themselves with a savanna and temperate broadleaf lifestyle.
Over the course of a millennia, 7,000-6,000 YBP, the six empires of Suqwas were loosely established by culture, language, and geography. Following the First World War between the Republic and Imperium, Suqwas became an Imperial protectorate by 195 YBP.
