Adamaspeos

The sphere is a dynamic sphere, brimming with volcanic activity and adorned with a diverse collection of rocky continents. These continents are characterized by vast networks of caves, intertwining like intricate labyrinths, and towering mountain ranges that reach towards the sky. These continents are separated by expansive oceans that stretch across its surface, The sphere is adorned with a scattering of smaller, isolated settlements that are predominantly inhabited by Gem Dragons and Gem Dragonborns. These communities tend to keep to themselves, embracing a sense of seclusion and privacy. However, once a year, they send an emissary to deliver the tithe to the great city of Yiannelas. Within Yiannelas, the Oecumene asserts its dominance, exerting its influence over the city and beyond, encompassing the entire sphere.

## History

After the conclusion of the First Draconic War, the Gem Dragons who were defeated, along with their god Illyu-Ummi, were granted Adamaspeos as their new home. This sphere was formed from the remnants of various shattered spheres during the cataclysmic Second Flood. The Gem Dragons, now scattered across the vast expanse of the sphere, established their own distinct communities, each finding its place within this new sphere. Meanwhile, Illyu-Ummi withdrew to the depths of the underground, rarely venturing out except to meet with his most powerful offspring or the occasional Oecumene official. During these early years, the Oecumene, a powerful faction, established the majestic city of Yiannelas as a center of their influence. From this grand city, they diligently worked to enforce peace and order throughout the realm, acting as agents of the Sovereign.

For many eons, the sphere faced relatively few challenges aside from occasional territorial disputes between Gem Dragons and their followers. However, this changed during the onset of the Second Draconic War when a Crystal Dragon named Mosaitha committed a gruesome act—slaughtering and consuming his own father's body. This act of cannibalism bestowed upon Mosaitha an unprecedented surge of power, leading him on a path of seeking out other dragons to consume. Slowly, Mosaitha, now known as Ais-iss, grew stronger, hunting his own kin within the crags and mountains of Adamaspeos. Hidden within the shadows of the sphere, he amassed a following of outcasts, forming a cult that further solidified his power and influence.

From the hidden corners of Adamaspeos, the Cult of the Cannibal emerged, launching a relentless assault on the Orrery of Apollo Drako. The cult targeted weaker dragons, consuming their flesh in gruesome acts. As these attacks multiplied, other dragons were swayed to join the cult, following in the footsteps of Ais-iss. Years of terror ensued until the cult relocated to the Cannibal's Moon, but their assault on their former home persisted. As the Cannibal grew stronger, it took the combined efforts of three Serpent's Children to shatter his undead form. The bones of Ais-iss were then collected by Gem Dragonborn warriors, who fashioned them into weapons that were passed down through family lines. Unfortunately, these weapons occasionally became catalysts for new cults devoted to the Cannibal.

During the Eclipsed Shoal's attack on the Orrery, a few Gem Dragons attempted to resist until it became apparent that the Mind Flayers targeted only the metallic dragons. At that point, the Gem Dragons abandoned their cousins to face their fate. Meanwhile, as the garrison of Yiannelas left to aid the Metallic Dragons, several smaller nearby Gem Dragon communities seized the opportunity and raided the weakened city. Once the Mind Flayers fled, the Oecumene responded by sending an army to punish the Gem Dragons. Many of the guilty groups and others were slaughtered, their hardened scales used to rebuild the city in a symbolic act of restoration.
