Tonclif IV was a planet with two major continents, each of which was native to a sentient species. The western continent of Gorman had birthed a six-legged mammaloid race, while the eastern continent of Azusa sired a bipedial reptiloid species. As neither race had any technology beyond that of Ancient Greece, the star-faring races would normally have no interest in the planet, but for one fact. The Hidden Folk had visited the planet in their heyday, and left behind an artificial floating island with the Erthumoi often called Laputa.[1]
