Glamohranian

**Glamohranians** were a sentient species native to the planet Glamohran, located within the Central Expanse region of the Cassiopeia Galaxy. They once dominated the Former Glamohranian Territories under the autocratic rule of the Glamohranian Empire.

## Biology and Appearance

Glamohranians were similar to humans in their general build, in regards to being bipedal, but with several clear distinctions. The Glamohranians, on average, stood at around 6'8" or 2.05 meters by adulthood, making them slightly taller than most other humanoid species. They had dark, greyish-colored skin and generally gaunt appearances. Their eyes could be either black, white, red, or blue in color. Some Glamohranians had white pupils while others had black pupils. They retained body heat rather well, as an adaptation to their arctic environment and climate of their homeworld.

All Glamohranians had large, fin-like membranes that grew on the sides of their heads. These fin membranes could be found in the same colors as a Glamohranian's eyes. It was believed that these fins were adaptations from when the Glamohranians still lived in the seas, when the oceans of their home planet were not yet frozen over.

The Glamohranians had four, long fingers (thumbs included) on each hand. They did not have the capability to reproduce with humans and most other sentient humanoid species.

## Society and Culture

A majority of Glamohranians born and raised in the Former Glamohranian Territories were raised with the idea of special supremacy over other sentient species throughout the galaxy. They saw the worlds around them as places to be conquered and controlled, only fueled by the imperial propaganda fed to the masses by the Glamohranian Empire. In correspondence to their hostility towards other worlds, the Glamohranians decorated their homeworld with the remnants and spoils taken from their enemies in battle and massacre. Many Glamohranians particularly prized the horns of the giant Neschastians of the tundra moon Neschast'ye.

The Glamohranians were known to use deadly, illness-inducing magic. Their most infamous use of magic was the spread of a deadly virus across the entire moon of Neschast’ye, starting the Withering and killing off most of the moon’s population.

Of course, not all Glamohranians agreed with this supremacist and imperial mindset. There existed Glamohranians who actively tried to dismantle the foundations of oppression imposed upon the subjugated peoples of Glamohranian colonies and territories.

## History

### An Imperial Force

For thousands of years, the Glamohranians ruled a sizable portion of the northwestern Central Expanse region of the galaxy with hostility and brutality. They spread their dominion over hundreds if not thousands of worlds throughout their domain in the cosmos. People feared to enter or even near imperial Glamohranian space because of their dangerous reputation.

### The Withering

Around the year 5850 ASA, in an attempt to wipe out their Neschastian prey once and for all, the Glamohranian Empire casted a powerful spell over the entire moon of Neschast'ye, infecting most of the moon's population with a deadly virus that reduced the numbers of the Neschastians to an endangered status. This massive genocide forced the close allies of the Neschastian Kingdom, the Etelans of the Lumin Crown, to take offensive action against the Glamohranian Empire. And thus began the Withering.

The fighting between the Lumin Crown and the Glamohranian Empire lasted for only a few months. Fearing that the Etelan Worlds would be dominated by the imperial Glamohranians should one misstep be taken, King South of Lumin used his collective powers as Sentinel of the Eletan homeworld Luminetela to decimate the capital of Glamohran with an unprecedentedly powerful ice spell. Glamohran, along with its inhabitants, were eternally frozen in an unbreakable magic ice, thus putting an end to the war and subsequently dismantling the Glamohranian Empire.

### Aftermath

As the Glamohranian Empire had no longer existed, the Glamohranians who lived on former imperial territories and colonies were left incredibly divided. Some powerful colonial Glamohranians either seized power as warlords and tyrants or rescinded their powers in hopes of building brighter futures with the worlds they had long held control over as mere colonies.
