Alterf IVa
(Also Temalbar) The large inhabited moon orbiting the gas giant Tarthak (also known to Earth-based wizards as Alterf IV, the fourth planet out from the star Alterf / λ (lambda) Leonis).
The three most intelligent Temal species became expert in worldgating technology over the course of their history, and were among the founders of the first version of the intragalactic Interconnect Project, dedicated to the rafting of threatened species from their doomed worlds to others which could safely accomodate the refugees. The Temalti later found themselves beneficiaries of their own technological expertise when Alterf's core became unstable and the star's unexpected loss of luminosity caused the catastrophic cooling of Temalbar's atmosphere. The Temalti were forced to abandon their moon, and their species were rafted out-system prior to Alterf's collapse.
Many Temalti later settled in the neighborhood of Rirhath B, where their technology was adapted, improved, and incorporated into the Crossings, now the headquarters of the Interconnect Project management redistribution team. (AWOM)
