By the Bugis tradition the first lords of Luwu and the world of the La Galigo cycle belong to Ussu and Cerekang at the head of the Gulf of Bone.
The campaign board adds that the ground is sacred and, by local custom, cannot be dug, so there is no excavation to date it, and that the archaeology of Luwu shows a gap between roughly the eleventh and fourteenth centuries (we could not check this). So the record is a place held sacred by tradition, with no date, no priest, no building and no text. It may have been in ritual use on 1 January 1200; it cannot be shown.
The smelting at Lake Matano (Nuha) is works, not worship, and is in the Matano record.

Allies and rivals
Tradition ties the ground to the lords of Luwu; whether any lord exists in 1200 is open (see the Luwu record).
How things stand that morning
Not shown. A sacred ground that tradition holds old; its use in 1200 can be neither shown nor disproved.
Threats
- None recorded
Places of note
- Cerekang: Named in the Luwu tradition as an ancient centre; the campaign board's dot.
Where the sources disagree
- Ussu is named in the campaign board's note and in the tradition; no checked coordinate was found, so only Cerekang is placed.
- The Luwu tradition is not read back into 1200 as a polity; see the Luwu record.
Evidence: The campaign board and the tradition only; the ground cannot be excavated.
"The campaign board" is OMNIA's working map. These notes record where its earlier claims were checked against the sources.
On the map: A point only: no boundary of the sacred ground is known.
