What brought the Xurnese to extend a tentacle up the Changor river? Was it to protect the realm somehow against the barbarians? The realm looks rather like one of those blancmanges from the planet Skaro :)

<p>Are you thinking of the Python sketch? (As opposed to, I guess, all the
other blancmange sketches out there...)
<p>The Changor and Xazen are the easiest way to get from Xurno to the
Plain, so they are an ancient trade route. Both civilizations had always
been content to leave the middle of the route to the barbarians, but
at its height Xurno decided to take control of the trading posts and
save itself some tolls. There was also the hope that the colony could
dominate the local barbarians and thus thwart invasions of Xurno.
