 **Katal** is the largest [[:Nayabaru]] settlement on [[planet:nekenalos:Asheenagiji]] (on [[planet:Nekenalos]]). It sits roughly at the halfway point between the coastline and the nearest pronounced mountain range, putting it a few hundred kilometres away from the coast.
+The name 'Katal' is derived from the [[:Kendane͡ivash]] word //[[:Kendane͡ivash:katale]]//, which translates to //ash//.
 In regards to the efforts of the Nayabaru to capture [[:kavkem|kavkema]], it's considered the most notorious location, more feared than its equatorial complement, [[planet:nekenalos:asheenagiji:Tain]]. In //[[:A Thread Between The Stars]]//, [[character:Valcen]] cites Katal as one of the //"focal points of [[character:Evenatra]]'s efforts"//((See //A Thread Between The Stars//, the //Satellites// chapter.)), though he warns about searching only there, since [[character:Terenyira|the weapon]] would share that same focus.

+Katal is the most populous city on Nekenalos by a large margin, although it does **not** consist of the largest community of Nayabaru (which is a title that goes to the //[[:planet:Nekenalos:Vatenas:Nuhur]]// community). The discrepancy stems from that Katal is one of only very few Nayabaru settlements consisting of several Nayabaru communities. While these live in parallel to each other without any problems, they don't generally cross-pollinate, nor have any urge to do so.
+The communities differentiate each other visually by highlighting the initial syllable of their tattoos by giving it a thin border of a certain colour (and referring to each other as Circles). This allows the hierarchies within the respective communities to remain separate without having to split the city into territories.
+To better refer to each other in speech, the communities have named themselves after Katal’s virtues:
+  * fe͡ilginidol (Gini'-, e.g. Gini'Hesh, Gini'Ganhesh, ...), using a **<color #ac6246>rust</color>** colour
+  * fe͡ilshairol (Shar'-, e.g. Shar'Hesh, Shar'Ganhesh, ...), using **<color #2927d8>indigo</color>**
+  * fe͡ilhine͡il (Ne͡il'-, e.g. Ne͡il'Hesh, Ne͡il'Ganhesh, ...), using a **<color #78a81d>soft green</color>**
+  * fe͡ilmelob (Mel'-, e.g. Mel'Hesh, Mel'Ganhesh, ...), using a **<color #38761d>dark green</color>**
