12/30/11(Fri)18:04 No.17379713Have a description of Kaon, hopefully making it more of a location than just a name:
Kaon is the largest city on Cybertron, a metropolis three times the size of Iacon, it has always been the Industrial capitol of the world.
Split into two parts, the upper citadel of Kolkular, rising above the rest of the city state like a colossal metallic tree. Inside this inner city the administrative facilities of Kaon are housed, including Trypticon Prison, the Kaon Militia HQ, and the Grand Forum (where great Cybertronian leaders are immortilized in statue form).
Because of the great height of Kolkular compared to the rest of Kaon, the only way to reach the citadel is via the great bridges that stretch for miles, or by flight. It this for this reason that many who visit Kolkular do not realise that it is only part of the great city of Kaon.
Beneath Kolkular lies the main part of Kaon. At the dawn of history, it was much like other cybertronian city states, but over the vorns, the area was heavily mined and excavated for the underlying metals and rare alloys.
As a result, the city of Kaon has become little more than a colossal pit, filled with hastily erected scrap metal shelters, where the miners, workers, and other drones seek shelter from the periodic acid storms.
The mining work continues, stretching further and deeper each cycle, so much so that it is rumoured that the lowest set of tunnels have reached layers of construction from a time before cybertronian civilization, and that strange creatures well in these underworld realms.
Kaon proper is dark, the only illumination coming from energon-tools, the optics of the workers, and the great smelting pools which dominate the landscape around the Kolkular.
These pools of molten metal are where the metal provender of Kaon is taken, smelted, reduced to its raw components, and sent up into Kolkular for processing. Over the ages, they have also been used for disposing of the bodies of undesirables. |
