ANCIENT CITY OF UNUG

Unug is the greatest city on Tyamath and the most detailed city within the novels. Unug is the setting or focal point for some of the books, from Rebels of Tyamath. It stands as a symbol for the ideal Tyamathan city, a model for other cities to emulate. Only Koshok, in the southern hemisphere, comes close at matching the size and grandeur of Unug. Unug is also a city with a turbulent history, a place that has even attracted the specific attention of the mysterious Annu-kis. Hopefully, additional novels will be published to resolve this matter and answer the questions we have concerning the future of Unug.

Unug is situated in the northern hemisphere of Tyamath, in the lower temperate latitudes. Temperate means essentially that it has a mild climate. Thus, in the winter it will only have occasional snows and more often cold rains. The summer heat will generally not run to extremes either. The spring and fall will seem to be longer seasons than the summer and winter due to the mild weather.

On the southern border of Unug is a swamp forest, the home of the Swamp Spiders, also known as the Spider People. These are large, intelligent spiders who inhabit enormous, complex webs that stretch across the terrain. They are generally a peaceful race who refuse to harm other rational creatures, even in self-defense. Unfortunately for the Spider People, the people of Unug have no such compunctions. They hunt and slay the Spider People to obtain Kur-lon Fiber, apparently derived from their web material, similar to spider silk. The Fiber is used in the mills of Unug though its actual uses are not described.

Further south of Unug, after three days ride by vallak, forming its northern border, is the mighty Tufrasis River. The Tardos Mountains are a five day ride by tarn from Unug. The Tufrasis River, about forty hassan wide, is one of the largest rivers on Tyamath. You must cross the Tufrasis to travel to the northern cities such as Thentos and Basrah.
