Q'umir

Q’umir is inhabited by the Amaru, an empire of yuan-ti ruling over the various residents of the planet. The Amaru are known for their flamboyance and love of luxury 
and spectacle, with their nobles competing to display the prosperity of their land and institutions. The culture of the Amaru is highly influenced by their patron god, the feathered serpent. As such they value artistry and knowledge in all its forms. The majority of those living under the Amaru are farmers and construction workers, but there's no doubt that the tradesmen and artisans that hail from the planet are among the most skilled of the coiled junction. The Amaru nobles are known for their frequent festivals and holidays, and most nobles are all too happy to entertain interesting diplomats and dignitaries.  Though often said to be haughty and vain, the Amaru actively invest in the quality of life of their people and strength of their infrastructure, seeing it as a symbol of status and skill. To amaru, boasting of your lavish dress while your land is in ruin is like showing off a ring with a fake gem, cheap and tacky. Gem dragons inhabit this planet and are respected by the empire, and coatls are sacred. 
== Government ==
The Amaru Government is an Imperial monarchy ruled by 8 noble houses, with one being the Imperial house, and the other seven ruling under them. Each house rules over its own sector, which is further divided into a series of provinces overseen by vassal lords. These provinces are further managed by locally appointed administrators. The Imperial family rules by divine right, and the 8 noble houses often come to council in order to form and review policy. The Emperor’s word is law, however, and they have the final say in what goes on in the empire. 
== THE EIGHT HOUSES ==
== Prejudices ==
Though the Amaru empire has many non Yuan-ti citizens, being an ethnically Amaru yuan-ti does afford someone higher status.  Additionally, the caste of yuan-ti you are tends to afford you higher social and cultural status, though currently there are no laws distinguishing them, and their legal status is the same. 
== Crime ==
Aside from a few empirical decrees, crime and sentencing is mostly carried out according to the methods of the noble house who rules the territory. Generally, pirates are prosecuted, tax evasion (only nobility pays taxes) is heavily frowned upon, and embezzlement of public funds is punishable by death. 
== Climate/Geography ==
The climate of Q’umir ranges from tropical to subtropical. The planet is covered in verdant expanses. Among the biomes found on Q’umir are mountains, jungles and wetlands.
