"Kernelle is a small village of robots to the southwest of Mt. Gigabit.

The village is broken up into 8 families or “clans,” each with a predefined role in their society, such as engineering and breeding new creatures, gathering supplies, or artisanship. All the villagers practice The Tenets and observe The Histories, a set of religious ideals that they believe are meant as commandments for their lives and rules for the use of creatures and creature engineering.

The population enjoys relative peace and prosperity through inter-clan trade and collaboration. The marketplace at the northern end of the village sports goods from each clan, such as clothing, harvested and processed oils, newly engineered creatures, replacement parts for older creatures, rare feed, and even art. On occasion, one may even find products from Grand Cluster, though most market goers treat such goods with a healthy dose of suspicion."
