Van's Highland Headquarters

After the rebellion, Van and Amadon established their highland headquarters in the Kopet Dag region east of the Caspian Sea. This remote mountain plateau served as the center of world ethics and the loyalist stronghold for over 150,000 years (~162,000 by calculation). The Tree of Life was transplanted here and sustained Van and Amadon across the millennia. Van organized 350 defensive groups from this base and maintained civilization's last outpost against the rebel Nodites until the arrival of Adam and Eve, when he transferred the Tree to the Garden of Eden.
