Yarwin

Yarwin is a small village of several hundred people covering about a quarter of a square mile, that sits at the eastern edge of the fifth hextant and is the very first city 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 that are designed to intercept those entering this hextant and trap them there using a wide variety of luxuries, delicacies, and even lustful pleasures designed to addict the people entering this land and make willing slaves out of them all 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, or being stripped of everything they have. 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.

The village is staffed by a mixture of humanoid biomechanoids, as well as a number of previous racers (and their families) who were trapped by the boundless luxuries and pleasures of the fifth hextant, and later on forced to become willing servants of the controllers in order to maintain their life of luxury, working diligently to trap others in exactly the same way as they themselves were trapped. Refusing to do so risks them being stripped of everything they possess, and have come to enjoy. The village itself, like so many other towns and cities within the fifth hextant, employs the three primary elements of sin that so easily and readily ensnare people in a web of deception and addiction that they can't readily get out of. These are the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Using just these three elements alone, the traps of the fifth hextant have had a nearly 95% success rate. The other 5% who were not trapped either subsequently died in the sixth hextant, or were forced to give up and return to the fifth hextant. Yarwin is just one of the many cities of the fifth hextant that is key in forever ensuring that the race will never be won.
