Asylum

The entire planet is covered with the ruins of ancient buildings. The Order created this winding, crumbling structure for the purposes of the needs of those who would live there. The people who come to live here often occupy the few unruined buildings that remain. Their style of living is one of great comfort and wealth. Asylum has its own inherent rewards for its inhabitants. Those who come to Asylum seem to enjoy great luck with their ventures. Any dwellings they set up seems to repair themselves and abound with wealth overnight. Soon all of the rooms have become filled with beautiful art treasures and all manner of comforts. Any of the riches created on the planet that are taken off-world become worthless in just a few moments. This has created many an embarrassing situation for people who wear the fine, priceless clothing that they find in their wardrobes and then leave the planet. Often, the garments do not survive the transition from richness to ruin.

The only other life that exists on Asylum is a race of almost nonintelligent humans. They are dirty, unorganized, and uncivilized. Their actions are those of insane, mindless people, and their activities are, in some cases, not good subject matter for conversation. The existence of these creatures is a mystery, but their apparent purpose is not. They are slaves and victims of the inhabitants of Asylum.

Underneath the city, there lie literally endless miles of grisly, twisting sewers. It is assumed, but not proven, that the mindless humanoids(called "grunts" by Asylum's inhabitants) are the sole indigenous lifeform on the planet. The noises that come from these sewers when Asylum's dull gray sun sets are ghastly and unspeakable.
