In the Khan region filled with mountains and forests, Domon, Leavemealone, and their two cat-folk escorts came out of a forest and into a valley. The walls of the valley had structures built on them. They were like small houses built on top of one another along the cliffs. These structures went as far as they could see. The valleys and hills were packed with them as if these hills had been artificially constructed landscapes.
The only place untouched was the tall and steep mountain at the center. That mountain was Mount Tigra. The large and unusual dwellings around it were the Popoki Village, where the cat folks resided.
Two cat-folk guards watched from atop the hills at the entrance to the valley. They recognized these four who approached. One of these guards blew a strange-looking horn that produced a strange-sounding toot. Some commotion could be heard in the direction of the Popoki Village after the sound of the horn.
