Geddy is from Toram, an ancient city of locally intelligent people of about 300,000. There are twelve schools in Toram and there is a University. Most people in Toram are peasants. Almost every family has a farm. They are good farmers and they are famous for Coffee production. Many farmers are also involved in food production.
