Legacy:Takagras

This page was written for an earlier draft of the setting. It is no longer accurate or canon, but kept around to scavenge for ideas.

Takagras (pronounced TAH-kah-grahs) is the base of operations of the Takagras Conservers, in the far northern reaches of the world well past the Northern Wall.

Takagras is an underground complex built into a mountainside, only accessible through glacial tunnels. In this remote, frigid location, large vaults store categorized seeds in sub-zero environments. The entire facility is magically warded to ensure the vaults remain sealed unless new seeds or plant cuttings are being added to the collection. A small number of the Conservers live in austere quarters in Takagras, watching over their accumulated material.

Besides the living quarters, parts of Takagras are heated and lit to allow plants to grow within. These underground, hemispherical greenhouses contrast greatly with the cold and dark of the rest of the complex, and are filled with living, thriving plants from around the world. The Conservers use these sections of Takagras to ensure plants they have deemed important do not go extinct.

Takagras is quite far from any other communities in the frozen north. Those that wish to travel to Takagras must either make the treacherous journey overland, or else teleport through the Anchor Site located a few miles away. This Anchor Site is buried deep under the glaciers, with hand-carved tunnels connecting it to Takagras and to the surface. The Site only connects with a single other one, located near Nendran in Lakatan.
