1. INTRO: Tullan, Past and Karl

The population of Tullan situated many people, some were kidnapped and some were lost but each had a story, it started with the eldest of the colony.

He was not kidnapped nor was he lost or taken he was offered immortality, in exchange for kidnapping, stealing and taking others from their family, home and universe, these people would share one thing, a single same genetic coding, this genetic coding held the knowledge a single group wanted to possess, this group were the ones who offered his immortality, in selfishness he agreed, his name was Karl.

As the years passed the population grew as did the fear the hate, the guards Karl employed, the slavery, others came and went, stories were told, lives were lost, hate was formed and yet the slaves Tullan.

The group provided food for their slaves indirectly as well as tools and shelter in the form of Haven, Haven was named directly for what it was, it sheltered the slaves from the heat of the twin suns that graced the forever purple sky, it sheltered them for the bleak coldness of night as one sun set allowing the chills and rain to beat upon the golden ground and pure red sea.

Haven was unique five towers woven into each other these towers resembled termite hills with large gothic windows gracing the dark golden exterior the Haven would hold up to ten thousand people though as luck would have it only two hundred as of yet lived there.

After six hundred years of depression, death, hate and fear Karl was approached the group the beings who granted him forever life, Karl in his selfishness listened to the seven allowing their knowledge to taint his soul further, he happily agreed to take one more soul to subject an innocent being to the slavery of Tullan, he did not frown when he was told it was a mere child, he did not shiver upon knowing said child would be ripped from their family and home, he did not look upon with horror as he heard this child would be trained to do the bidding of the group.

With a shiver of anticipation Karl set to work it had been a long time since he had taken another from their home, their family, their life, their very existence.
