Daroskelar was the capital city of Daros IV, and an Orion Colony. The city was situated on the coast of a mountainous peninsula stretching north from the planet's main continent, lying on a slightly sloping plain between the base of the mountains and the sea. It was composed of a few hundred small buildings that sat close together by the coast, while the higher ground was given over to the estates of the Five Families, including Keravkar and Keroskar, which had extensively irrigated fields fed by their own water storage tanks.
