Autumnia

**Autumnia** was a cool, terrestrial planet in the Cassiopeia Galaxy, covered with autumnal forests, oceans, and vast plains. It was the homeworld of the Autumnians.

## Description

A terrestrial planet, Autumnia was located in the Central Expanse region of the galaxy, a few thousand light years away from Umbran Space. Autumnia was one of three planets located within its planetary system, the closer planet being Phino Poro, which was an orange gas giant with several dozen moons of varying sizes, and the further planet being Nubess, which was an ice giant also with several dozen various-sized moons. Autumnia, Phino Poro, and Nubess orbited a yellow dwarf star, with Autumnia being closer to its star than Phino Poro and Nubess. Autumnia only had one natural satellite, Fylla, which was a small rocky world with no atmosphere.

Autumnia was recognized for its cool climate and breezy weather, but especially for its autumnal forests. Autumnia's forests stayed in an eternal autumnal state, with the foliage of the trees always warm in color with beautiful reds, oranges, yellows, and browns. While autumnal forests dominated the planet, massive saltwater oceans took up the other half of the planet's surface. Aside from the world's autumnal forests existed lush plains and wetlands. Autumnian aster flowers naturally grew in these plains. Many Autumnian cities and towns were built by rivers—which were plentiful on Autumnia—or by the oceans.

## History

### Ancient Times

At some point in ancient history, Antumbrian colonists settled on Autumnia, along with Human colonists. Autumnia did not have any sentient lifeforms before the Antumbrians and Humans colonized the world. Centuries of generations passed by to create a hybrid species, the Autumnians, who eventually lost contact with the rest of the galaxy and isolated themselves. The Autumnians stagnated in progression and even lost touch in their methods of space travel for many years to come. The people of Antumbria eventually forget about the Autumnians as well, until their reintroduction into the galactic stage many years later.

### Division of the Home Planet

For the longest time before 11th century, the planet of Autumnia was completely divided into different clans, some warring against one another and others that formed alliances, which would both rise and fall as time went on. With this being said, the Autumnians did not participate in the Artifice Wars, as there was no united global entity that existed at the time powerful enough to make much of a galactic impact.

### The Autumn Wars

Tensions heightened in 1040 ASA when the Autumn Wars ravaged Autumnia. Many of the planet's clans by now had either died off or combined with other clans to become bigger and stronger. All of the different clans of Autumnia primarily fought over resources and territories. These clans clashed with one another for years until 1063 ASA. The wars lasted a total of twenty-three years, and much blood was shed. It was these events that acted as a catalyst for Autumnian pacifism.

### Global Unification

After the Autumn Wars, a miraculous peace treaty was signed between the different clans of Autumnia. The Autumnians were exhausted from fighting and wanted to put an end to all conflict on the planet, which resulted in the unification of the planet's clans and their transition into becoming the Autumnian Parliament. This marked the beginning of an era of eternal peace between the citizens of Autumnia. Not too long after, the Autumnians made themselves known to the rest of the galaxy and joined the Galactic Embassy, representing themselves in the United Cassiopeian Republic.

Once Autumnia's presence was known to the rest of the galaxy after thousands of years of isolation, Small groups of Antumbrians and Humans migrated to the planet and made permanent homes for themselves.

## Inhabitants

The Autumnians made up the majority of the planet's inhabitants throughout all of history. Once a people devoted to a warrior clan lifestyle eventually became pacifists who strived for peace. Small communities of Antumbrians and Humans existed on the planet, as well as a tiny minority of other sentients.

### Sentinels

Sentinel Autumnia was gifted with the ability to instantly induce sleep to anyone within a certain large radius. Autumnian Sentinels held the ceremonial title of head of state within the upper ranks of the Autumnian Parliament.

Every city and town had their own local militias, comprised of members of their communities.
