Pan-ni-Rikam-Po
The Hundaei were not well known as city-builders, but here in the middle of the endless steppelands, the Great Khan Jaganga built a permanent settlement of stone where he and his people could live, and where the other clans could come to meet and trade. In those days it was called Kolo-ba-thun, which means “Home of the Great Ones” in Kirkut. This capital city thrived for many generations, outlasting Jaganga himself. Completely destroyed in the Hundaei civil war of 681–683 I.R., the place was renamed Pan-ni-Rikam-Po (Cursed Ruin of Stone) and now exists as an abandoned ruin inhabited only by wild beasts and the restless dead.
The wreckage of the capital remains taboo to all Shattered Folk tribes, and none will enter its borders on pain of death. Only once was this taboo broken, by the young warrior Tahtona when he followed the guidance of the soothsayers and condemned himself to death by entering the ruins. He returned to lead his people to victory over their foes, but perished in the battle, thus fulfilling his destiny and maintaining the sacred taboo.
