Tagonique
Tagonique was a primitive backwater planet home to the Tagoniqui, (PROSE: Alchemy [+]Loading...["Alchemy (short story)"]) who were human descendants. (PROSE: A Hundred Words from a Civil War [+]Loading...["A Hundred Words from a Civil War (short story)"]) Gandling River was located on Tagonique.
During the War in Heaven, House Arpexia noticed that Tagonique would develop into the hub of a vast Tagoniqui empire allied with the Enemy. Dephresis, Anhedra, and Jarks were sent to Tagonique to prevent the Tagoniqui from scientific advancement, first by distributing technology resembling magic. Superstition quickly abounded and the government of Tagonique became a "Wizards' Parliament" led by Kephas. Arpexia's agents focussed their attentions on Mesquividas, Tagonique's last rationalist, and used his hatred of Kephas to convince him to believe in magic. Powered by the belief of the entirety of the planet's population, Arpexia's agents reversed the anchoring of the thread in the space-time around Tagonique and left it in a magical pre-Anchoring state. Tagonique never became technologically advanced and was naturally rejected by the Spiral Politic and erased from existence 73 years later. (PROSE: Alchemy [+]Loading...["Alchemy (short story)"])
