K'un-Lun

K'un-Lun is the stronghold of a colony of humanoid aliens, place of origion unknown, whose spaceship crashlanded upon a small extradimensional world, approximately a million years ago. The ships warp-drive engines somehow created a permanent oscillating rift between the pocket world and Earth's dimension, causing the settlement to shift into earthly space periodically on a site in the remote, Himilayan Mountain range in Tibet.

The K'un-Lunians built a city around their inverted spaceship, cannibalizing materials from its interior and using its basic design as their archetectural style. No citisens alive today are aware that the Central Hall of Ancestors was once the spaceship that bore them to their world. Not that the mystical emerald crystal that regulated the demensional matricles had been broken (by K'un-Lun's acopted champion Iron Fist). The duration of this period of K'un-Lun's interface with Earth is not known. Apocryphal stories about K'un-Lun told by travelers gave rise to the Chinease legend of the same name.
