Domecap

Domecaps are an aggressive invasive species of people that live in the Fungal kingdom and exhibit traits similar to fungi and social insects, specifically bees.

Like bees, their royal class is defined by their diet, in this case a special crown that accelerates growth and hormone growth.

Like fungi, the Domecaps create and spread a fungal network in order to further their influence and communication networks.

This double influence creates a truly unique and alien species.

Their main objective is to establish a strong kingdom at the expense of the other races in the area, as the other races tend to see them as abominations and pests to be eradicated.

## Queen abduction

The reason kidnapping the queen of the Domecaps is so essential to the military occupation of their land is that if the queen is gone too long, she loses her royal prerogatives and is considered an outcast, to be killed on sight. This causes internal power struggles as the other noble houses will strive to present their own queen to the throne, ending in wide scale civil wars within Domecap society. The conflict between the noble houses is mostly to create the appropriate fungi that will turn their candidate into a queen. This means that the other houses will go around the kingdom seeking artifacts belonging to the former queen to extract her essence, vital to the creation of the royal fungus.

To placate the arms race to present a replacement queen, the noble house the queen belongs to can create a personal force led by her chosen champion in order to rescue her from her captors.

The Levigarians know this and often kidnap the queen, and take advantage of the political chaos to occupy the kingdom while it is powerless to react against the invading army. They further their domination by actively seeking out and securing/ destroying the royalty bestowing items. These come in several forms, orbs, staves, swords, shrouds, scrolls as well as other miscellanea belonging to the former queen.

Naturally, the Levigarians use considerable resources to capture these artifacts for safekeeping, as they have powerful sway over the citizens.

## Military

The Domecap military uses an interesting mix of magical and technologies to defend their borders.

Domecap shields can parry fireballs

The Domecaps maintain impressive power up production to support frontline soldiers.

The Domecaps make use of flightsuit leaf tree for aerial landing assaults via cannon deployment.

Advance fort construction is also a specialty of the Domecap military, with impressive advance fort construction times.

The Saurid Cavalry is the domecaps shock trooper corps, using semi intelligent bipedal saurids.

## Notes on Domecaps

The Domecap people use mushrooms as a food source.

They evolved into the mushroom people by adapting a humanoid form.

The mushrooms create clones with the same memories when eaten.

The levigarians fight against the fungi and hide in dry and hot places where mushrooms cannot survive to fight the mushrooms and frequently invade their kingdoms.

The fungi people have chitinous armored skin.

The levigarian people attempt to kidnap the queens very often, as the fungi tend to replace their queens every once in a while, despite the queens tending to eat their competition and hoard the queen jelly.

The fungus reproduces by forcing the host to a lonely place, either wide open spaces or dank caves.

The people of these lands are known as the Estnuts, who are refugees in their own land, working for the levigarians to survive. the land is corrupted from the fungal network, the mushrooms when dead can grow bricks. the levigarians want to turn the fungi people into constructions. the levigarians also use special plants that are natural fungicides.

The levigarians do all this to curb the influx of Estnut refugees, and of mushroom proliferation. however the levigarian king is thwarted by the queens consort.
