Define Your Settlement

What is the name of your settlement?

Choose or create a name that reflects your community's character. Duskaran settlements often reference wind patterns, temperature zones, or founding ideals:

• Wind names: Galehold, Breezehaven, Stormwatch, Whisperkeep
• Temperature names: Warmhearth, Coolreach, Emberstone, Frostbreak
• Ideal names: Harmony Station, New Landing, Hope's Edge, Bridgepoint
• Hybrid names: Windharmony, Stormhearth, Emberbridge

What kind of twilight belt settlement are you?

Choose one that establishes your settlement's fundamental character:

• Agricultural Hub — Vertical farms and hydroponics; you feed surrounding settlements and pride yourselves on making things grow despite Duskara's harshness
• Trading Crossroads — Located where multiple Deep Road tunnels meet the surface; you're cosmopolitan, dealing with both twilight and cave dwellers
• Research Outpost — Founded by those seeking to understand Duskara's mysteries; you maintain ancient Earth equipment and study native phenomena
• Refugee Gathering — Recently formed by those displaced by catastrophic storms; diverse traditions clash and blend
• Frontier Watch — On the edge of the habitable zone; you push boundaries, test limits, venture where others won't
• Elder City — One of the first settlements; you carry deep memory but struggle with ossified traditions

Where along the twilight belt?

Your position affects daily life:

• Night-ward edge (cooler, calmer, closer to cave networks)
• Mid-belt (temperate, most stable, most crowded)
• Day-ward edge (warmer, harsher winds, closer to mining operations)

What defines your settlement's culture?

Choose 1-2 cultural touchstones:

• Earth Rememberers — You carefully preserve customs, languages, and traditions from the homeworld
• Duskara-Born — You embrace full adaptation, seeing yourselves as native to this world
• Psychic Traditions — Weather workers, thermal sensors, and bonded ones hold formal status and training
• Techno-Preservationists — You maintain and revere the old Earth technology
• Wind Singers — Your culture centers on music, poetry, and oral traditions shaped by the constant wind
• Collective Governance — Decisions made through consensus and careful deliberation
• Guild Structure — Specialized roles (weather workers, engineers, farmers) organized into formal guilds
