Tor was a settlement situated on the world of Polyneus, serving as the origin point for Polynean aviator Stam Groundling. Groundling departed Polyneus as a member of the Hundred and Twenty. Following the conflict at the Circus of Mortal Appetites, Wyl Lark, another Polynean who had been among the Hundred and Twenty, expressed his longing to return to their home planet to Elder Zephyr. In response, the Elder told Lark that Groundling had made his way back to Tor just one rotation prior.
