SETTING INFORMATION
- Structure Name: Kasbah Ur Orek
- Classification: Fortified Temple
- Location: Tatooine
- Affiliation: A'Runda
- Accessibility: The Kasbah is quite isolated on the planet from everything else, which is saying something for Tatooine. It's rested on a small mountain near the Jundland Wastes.
- Description: The Kasbah offers a rare sight on Tatooine, vegetation. Though seemingly dead, the trees around the estate are some of the rarest species on the desert planet along with other rare vegatation on the planet.
The Keep - As an old fortified structure it has a keep to house its residents. Being the largest and in many way the most defensible area on the estate. This is where A'Runda and guests would spend most of their time as it has plenty of rooms and a great hall much like a medieval castle.
The Donjon - This is the tallest tower of the fort, offering a great view of the surrounding areas.
The Walls - Snugly hugging much of the estate are the walls that protect the fort on the top of the hill. With plenty of room to walk on. They have defensible "tooth like" patterns running along the edges of them for greater defense.

The original name of the structure has been lost in time for seemingly countless generations. Being built in the age of the old Hutt Empire, and when The Republic was getting still getting its feet off the ground with the outer rim not all were so lucky to learn the ways of the Force under a interstellar order. Some knew they had the gift of The Force but were unable to leave the confines of Hutt Space to the other galactic governments. Some however, banded together and made the best of their situation and formed a settlement on the harsh planet of Tatooine as some of the first to colonize the planet.
Together they formed a temple, one that was fortified in order to ward off the Tusken Raiders who had grown hostile over many centuries to outsiders. Yet rumor went around among the sand people that the settlement was cursed. A falsification brought about by their own ignorance. Thus those who built the temple could live in relative peace. They could even bring life to the desert around them with aid of The Force, and mountain water that would freeze at the top over night and melt in the day as runoff to help grow vegetation.
However, as the Jedi Order grew and showed more promise and better education on the mystery of The Force the temple and its residents slowly left it to be abandoned. Fortunately the dry environment has kept it relatively well preserved and the vegetation hasn't managed to overgrow over the many years. Thus A'Runda comes into the picture. Remembering old stories from fellow Tuskens of "The Green Dune" a cursed place there the dune never moves thanks to a green shell over it, and on top is an old fort left behind from outsiders. Knowing now that this was bogus, A'Runda came seek it out and saw potential. Managing to convince a group of Jawas to help refurbish the old Temple with the promise of credits and as much vegetables they can take with them. A'Runda turned the fortified temple into a full blown Kasbah, and his very own home.
