The Land of Tombs and Krypton (LOTAK) is Dirk Strider's planet in the Medium.

Concept and creation

The planet shares themes of burial and death with the rest of the Nobles' planets, and as such is also closely connected with one noble gas.

Geography

The Land of Tombs and Krypton is covered in tombs resembling the temples of the Khmer Empire. A statue of Yaldabaoth appears atop one, later seen destroyed after the events of GAME OVER.

The atmosphere of the planet is green and orange, with large arcs of plasma scattered around the surface.

Habitation

The planet is covered with a horde of skeletal underlings, ruled by the denizen Yaldabaoth.

History

The Land of Tombs and Krypton was revealed during [S] ACT 6 ACT 4, along with the Land of Pyramids and Neon and the Land of Mounds and Xenon. Dirk and Jake English used gas masks to breathe in the planet's thick krypton gas as they descended down the towers to the levels below; krypton gas sinks and causes symptoms similar to nitrogen narcosis thanks to its high density, acting as an asphyxiant when it becomes thick enough to replace oxygen.

The planet suffered serious damage in its collision with the Land of Mounds and Xenon in the battle between the Condesce and Aranea Serket, but it has been reverted to its former state after John Egbert's retcon powers undid the battle. A majority of the planet was later instantly obliterated in the explosion of the session's Jack Noir's head during the events of Collide, leaving behind only a crescent-shaped sliver.^{[citation needed]}
