Diasp

Diasp is the Arbran nickname for a world whose self‑designation is Tro, identified during a shielded session at Tredegarh by a visitor from Antarct. In current usage it denotes one of the four origin worlds behind the Geometers.

Naming and iconography

The name “Diasp” arose from a planet emblem read as showing many islands; this icon appears on the visitors’ craft and on labeled vials recovered at Orithena. “Diasp” remains a local handle, while “Tro” is the name given by those aligned with that world.

Alliances and role (reported)

According to the same Laterran source, Tro stands with Urnud (locally called Pangee) in an alliance known by them as the Pedestal. This bloc is opposed by the side associated with Fthos (locally, the Quators), while Laterre (Antarct) is internally divided.

Historical note (as told by the informant)

The first sustained encounter between Urnud and Tro—referred to as an Advent—spanned roughly a century and a half and left Tro in ruins. Thereafter, Urnudans and Troäns rebuilt the ship called Daban Urnud to carry both peoples and departed toward Laterre. These details are presented as the visitor’s account rather than direct observation from Arbre.

Status

• Identity: “Tro” is the reported self‑name for what Arbrans had been calling Diasp.
• Observation: Aside from iconography and testimony, no direct survey of the planet is available to Arbrans.
• Usage: “Diasp/Tro” serves as a practical label in ongoing dialogs about the four‑world presence now above Arbre.
