"Klomin is the most powerful city of the Sunlo Canyons, but Tanlon is its heart."

Tanlon is a city state that exists on the planet Nlia which exists in my AU Star Trek ‘New Start’ verse.

It is the home of the Nlians who are members of the United Federation of Planets.

THE SUNLO CANYONS REGION

The Sunlo Canyons are located in the southwestern region of the Western Continent.
This region is comprised of striking canyons, mesas, plateaus and stand alone rock formations.
The economy is heavily based on agriculture due to irrigation.
The Nlians of this region are among the most skilled on the planet in both geology and stonework.
The region is rich in minerals
Mining takes place but is carefully managed in order to preserve the environment
and done exclusively underground.

The city states of this region are regarded as architectural marvels.
Most buildings are built/carved from the walls of cliffs and canyons.
Many natural caverns have been hallowed out and have dwellings built in them.

Many areas with rock towers have rooms carved within them or tall structures
built so as to mimic rock towers.
In either case this in an area where one can see Nlian ‘skyscrapers’.

Nomadic tribes have lived in the canyons for thousands of years.
Brands of them can always be found camping near the cities

TANLON
Tanlon is in the northeastern part of the Sunlo Canyons, near where the region meets the Golden Sands
It is southeast of Talee and southwest of Nilara (Golden Sands)

It is the 2nd largest city state of the Sunlo Canyons.
The area in and around Tanlon has hundreds of rock towers, pinnacles and formations,
some over 300 meters high.
Over the millennia dwellings have been carved into them.

Tanlon prides itself on the fact that this is where Nlia's tallest buildings are and yet
not a single structure is man-made.
Every single room and dwelling has been carved out of natural structures over thousands of years.

Inside the structures, technology has become ever more advanced over the centuries.
Outside the structures stand virtually unchanged from as they were when tiny nomadic
bands first settled there.
To the Nlians this is a testimony to their attempts to live in harmony with their world.

The city is also famous for its elaborate hydraulics and gardens
The city is also famous for its art and music.
Because of its beauty and musical tradition the city is called the City of Rock Song

Because the entire city was carved inside rock towers, it is also called the City of Rock Towers
It is also called the Heart of the Canyons
