Taten is the roaming tent-city that serves as the capital for the Pékyu of the Lyucu people in their homeland of Ukyu-Gondé. It is the center of Lyucu military and political power.
Geography
As a nomadic city, Taten's location is not fixed. It moves across the vast scrublands of Ukyu-Gondé, following the needs of the pékyu's herds and armies.[TVT-1]
Culture
Taten is the heart of the Lyucu's harsh, martial culture. Life in the tent-city is organized around the pékyu and the needs of the military. It is a place of warriors, garinafin riders, and complex clan politics.
History
Center of the Invasion
Taten was the center from which Pékyu Tenryo planned and launched his invasion of Dara. Years later, after his death, his son Pékyu Cudyu prepared a massive reinforcement fleet there. However, the city became the site of his downfall when Théra's rebels infiltrated the city, sparked a garinafin uprising, and assassinated Cudyu with a booby-trapped coffin, destroying his invasion fleet before it could set sail.[TVT-1][SB-16]
