===The Eight Spears=== The entrance to Kardakouk is safeguarded by 8 structures, the only place where people or ships can pass from the oceans under the mantle to the barren surface of the planet and the harsh vacuum of space. Whilst many of the ancient structures are viewed with suspicion, fear or disgust due to their clear and obvious relation to the Jailors and the centuries of imprisonment the Spears are noticeably different.They are instead viewed with respect and even reverence due to their both connecting the planet to the rest of the sector and also safeguarding the planet from them. Having clear, distinctive and most importantly controlled entrances affords the Concord a level of protection completely unavailable to the planets of the sector with normal atmospheres. Even more importantly the Spears are noticeably different from Jailor architecture. Whilst most Jailor constructs are spartan blacks and greys, with brutalist and spartan construction the Spears are very different. They are graceful and elegant constructions of white with shining blue finishes and accents. Even more importantly the language used in these structures is very different from what little remains of Jailor texts.
There are two languages present in the Spears. One a technical language, the code used to control the computer controls of these Spears which the Concord have gradually cracked and worked around to open 5 of the Spears over time. With the 2 Spears open before the Concord’s creation leaves only 1 of the Spears still sealed shut. The other is the language inscribed on the walls of the Spears themselves. Whilst the coding language has had much success in being translated and utilised the language on the Spear walls has proven much more difficult to translate. In fact there are only 8 words that the Concord have successfully translated, and each of the Spears is named after the word translated at each location, the word emblazoned above each Spears entrance on either side of the mantle of Kardakouk.
