Klingon Home World

A single‑continent, storm‑lashed Klingon planet dominated by a fortress‑city and the towering Great Hall that scars the skyline. Wind rakes across granite ramparts; lightning punctures a charcoal sky while rain and ash sting exposed faces. Spartan, defensive architecture—bastions, yawning plazas, and ceremonial steps—frames public rituals and makes politics theatrical and dangerous. The atmosphere presses on skin and spirit: cold salt on stone, the tang of ozone, and the constant howl of weather that sharpens honor into risk and foreshadows humiliation and violence.
