Tuscalora were a Tsurani family with estates in Szetac. Their lands bordered the Acoma holdings to the south. They also had a small strip of land between the Acoma northern and southern needra fields, cut down the middle by the dry stream bed. There had been no ties of business between the two Ruling Lords. Because of a freak concentration of minerals in their soil, they were blessed with the most outstanding plantation of chocha-la.
