Yarwin is a small village of several hundred people, all humanoid biomechanoids, covering about one square mile, that sits at the very eastern edge of the fifth hextant and is the very first to greet racers going west. It sits about a quarter mile or so from the gateway that marks the start of the fifth hextant, and is the first in a long line of every increasingly bigger cities designed to intercept those entering this hextant and trap them there using a series of luxuries, delicacies, and even lustful pleasures designed to addict the people entering this land and make willing slaves out of them by creating such a strong addiction to these luxuries that they choose never to leave, nor disobey their masters, for fear of losing access to them. The village's capture rate is rather low, around 15%, compared to the other cities later on in the hextant. However, it does well in setting the groundwork for later cities to use to effectively trap anyone who enters their borders.
