Tyrn-Cha

Prompt:2 A seat of power of any kind

Located in the arctic Tyrn Kua Toh valley of Jhoutai.

Though cold and desolate, the terrestrial bedrock of this valley and thin crust of its ice makes it prime Subnivean farming estate. Small towns and cities dot the Subnivean, with towers reaching up from below the earth and to the surface to tend after crops in the sunny months.
