The Red Lands

It is about time people saw the Red Lands because this is where much of the story takes place because this is where the spaceship Endeavour landed.

When the Endeavour was forced to land on The Vicious Planet it came to rest in the northern part of the Red Lands.  The Red Lands is a dry barren place.  There was once civilization here but it was abandoned long ago.  The Red Lands Guardian Martini took up residence in the remains of one such place.  The only humans who live in the Red Lands are a group of so called "wizards" men who seek to unlock the secrets of the Vicious Planet by understanding the ancient technologoy that maintains it.  The true dominant life forms of the Red Lands are the Red Rock Hunters.  These blind predatory animals use sonar to navigate and hunt.  There are certainly worse places the Endeavour could have landed, but still the Red Lands are not known for being pleasant.
