Seker was not the first world to be Terra-Formed by the Technologists,Úbut it may be their most ambitious project. They started with a world muchÚlike Mercury in temprature, atmosphere and geology. They were disrupted byÚthe Revolt, and the planet was not complete in its changes. Thus, it isÚslowly reverting back. Never again will it be the boiling hell it once was,Úbut the creatures on this world will eventually have to evolve to existÚwith little or no water. (Perhaps this is how "Dune" began is futureÚadventures? Hm..)

In the days of the high wizzards it was became possible to travel toÚthe outer planets and colonize those planets. In those days was SekerÚinhabited. Not that the colonists were the first life on the globe; itÚalready had a varity of plant and animal species. However the colonistsÚwere the first intellegent life.

It took 800 years of magical and technological work to make this dryÚhusk of a planet and make it into a planet that was fit for humanÚhabitation. At first it was only criminals and members of the TechnologistsÚLeague who populated the world, but after 300 years, the planet was openedÚto general emigration. At first the world flourished under the control ofÚthe League. But they grew greedy and thus began the unrest that led to theÚnear destruction of life on the globe.

After the spitefull destruction of the Air Machines (Terra-FormingÚequipment), the atmosphere and water so carefully horded over the yearsÚbegan to leak away, until after 50 years, there were only a few areasÚinhabitable.

At the equator, there are many ruins of what were once cities. AtÚleast 15 major cities (>4000 people) are known to exist. The people whoÚroam the deserts, plundering the remains of civilizations are calledÚ"Skalvers" and are not respectable.

The ramainder of the details for Seker are directly from theÚdifinitive works on the Mars series of books by E. R. Boroughs. The time isÚset 50+ years before the events in the books take place. Any technicalÚdevices related in the stories are left over equipment of the TechnologistsÚand share descriptions with those on Greld, sometimes with modifications.
