Vfeldnseim

Vfeldnseim is the homeworld of the Goldblut race. The earliest evidence of their presence on Colanexa traces back over a thousand years, however their arrival was never officially documented until the year 1296 GHC, when the imperial colony of Gacawy was established.

## Geography and Environment

Vfeldnseim is a hospitable planet not dissimilar from Earth or Colanexa. It has less forests, but more large valleys and plains, which may explain the equine nature of its native inhabitants. Information about Vfeldnseim's wild fauna is limited, though it is acknowledged that several less intelligent animals co-exist with the Goldbluts.

Vfeldnseim's atmosphere is higher in nitrogen and vanadium density than Colanexa. Its skies are more of a magenta-light indigo than blue. This also causes the majority of the planet's inhabitants to have golden or yellow blood, instead of red from oxygen-dominant planets.

## History

### Ancient History

Not much is revealed of Vfeldnseim's history, especially prior to its contact with Colanexa. They were significantly more advanced than humans of the time period. Some technologies, such as space travel, were more advanced than Colanexa's, but they tended to be less advanced in biological sciences. This mutually-beneficial relationship opened trade and diplomatic relations between the two worlds.

### Colanexian Integration

After the signing of several treaties, Vfeldnseim was granted a permanent territory on Colanexa known as Gacawy. Vfeldnseim would use this beachhead as a means to significantly expand their influence and access to the planet at large, including the northeast that was thought to be largely uninhabited. Unbeknownst to the Goldblut immigrants (and thought to have been deliberately omitted by the Kajin superpowers of the era), hundreds of thousands of Kalu tribes resided in the area. The unresolved issues between the Kajin and Kalu-bloods impacted relations with the Goldblut for the worse, as now the Kajin were not seen as wholly trustworthy. However, while relations were damaged, they still remained functioning and predominantly non-negative.

### Colanexian Reactions

Goldblut presence was met with diverse reactions across the globe. The Frãci Kajin were excited and eagerly sought to form alliance with the new arrivals. However, in doing so, the input of nearby Sovietese clans and Kalu tribes went largely ignored. The Skalvolk were also eager to pursue further relations to further their space-faring visions. As of the Goldblut arrival, the Skalvolk had managed to launch satellites, but not occupied craft. Within two hundred years, the groups (along with assistance from Dragonia astronomers and scientists) managed to land a piloted mission to Kocmy'yskhómwöb, one of Colanexa's seven moons.

For their part, the Dragonia were initially reluctant to accept the Goldblut. After their cooperation in astronomical and other scientific fields though, the Dragonia came to greatly respect the Goldblut. Relations with Jalfxia intensely soured during Gacawy's expansion period, however good relations were consistent with the Buwaguzan Empire, rivals to Jalfxia.

The eastern Kalu were largely unaware of the Goldblut presence before the Gacawys expedition through present-day Schremn. As such, they were largely indifferent. Especially following the secession of Kalubio from the Gacawy Empire and the Luvvar reign, many Kalu-bloods in the area harbor negative sentiments towards them though.

The other group to largely disdain the Goldblut are the Taejo-Ghel Kajin, mostly found in the southwest. Before Vfeldnseim contact, relations were being established between the Frãci and Taejo-Ghel. However, much of this was abandoned in favour of the more advanced Goldblut, severely affecting relations between them. While the worst of this has subsided, Taejo intermingling with Goldbluts is still often averted or frowned upon.
