Galeras (archive)

Exile-controlled Galeras is a lush, temperate region with good soil and a climate conducive to farming and ranching. The Exiles have established many farms in the area to help feed their growing population, and also made an amazing discovery - an ancient but largely intact Osun city called Thayd. With Thayd as their de facto military headquarters, the forces of FCON defend the Exile civilians trying to make a new life here, and take the fight to the Dominion whenever and wherever they can.

Thayd dominates the western part of the region, which is bisected by Gale Canyon, a huge, windswept crevice occupied by a tribe of air-worshipping Pell. In the east, the Exile outpost known as Skywatch keeps a lookout over the Exile settlers who cannot be easily defended from Thayd.

Tempest Refuge
The Exile town of Tempest Refuge sits in the hills of Galeras, where denizens endure frequent windstorms while working the rich, fertile land to grow crops, raise livestock, and harvest unique food sources like buzzbing honey and ravenok steaks. Like many such communities on the planet Nexus, Tempest Refuge has found itself caught up in the ongoing war between the Exiles and the Dominion, and mercs can now often be found standing guard over civilians and visitors.

Thayd
The ancient partially ruined city of Thayd is believed to have been built not by the Eldan, but by the giant Osun race, many of whom now inhabit the area around it. Though the history of the city is known only through fragments of ancient inscriptions, it is believed that THayd was a capital of sorts for the giants, and was nearly destroyed in a massive cataclysm that led the Osun to abandon the place. Currently, the Exiles have taken over, and use Thayd as a well-fortified headquarters for FCON's efforts in the Galeras region.
