Vaporians

= Vaporians =
The Vaporians (pronounced vay·por·ians) were an ancient race whose technological remnants can be seen under the grounds in Rathnir. Vaporians have an idiosyncrasy where they have trouble remembering anything that is below them. Above and to the side, no problem, but below… they forget about it. Being deep underground, the City of Vaporia posed a particular problem. They couldn’t mine any further in the fear that they would make the ground collapse on top of the city. The Vaporians tried to rectify this by expanding their city higher up and even above the surface, but the plans were placed in the basement of the Vault of Vaporia, so they got lost.
== Important Figures ==
=== The Vaporian King ===
The Vaporian King was the previous ruler of the Vaporians who had ruled over the underground City of Vaporia 10,000 years ago. During a battle, his elite Legion got trapped inside the Vault of Vaporia, leaving the King vulnerable. He was defeated by local natives, who afterwards removed the Golden Crown of Vaporia from the king's grasp. Upon their king's defeat, the Vaporian robots around Rathnir were shut down.
Rumours say that it is not entirely impossible that the Vaporian King was, at one point, (possibly even all the Vaporians) organic. This idea is furthered by the fact that the City of Vaporia has a bakery area (implying that Vaporians could eat at one point), which is stated to have fallen into disuse since robots don't eat.
=== Vaporian Legion ===
The Vaporian Legion was built as a security robots legion by the Vaporian King to ensure that none of the many miners, builders and scientists slacked off on their work or attempted to escape. Ever since Vaporian citizens found out that having the Golden Crown of Vaporia gave the King more power, there have been many attempts to steal it from the King. This is where the Legion proved its worth. Throughout the whole history of the City of Vaporia, not a single thief succeeded in stealing the King’s crown until the King himself was defeated.
