Antumbria

**Antumbria** was a hot, arid, terrestrial planet in the Cassiopeia Galaxy, covered completely with badlands and dried up canyons. Located within Umbran Space, Antumbria was the homeworld of the Antumbrians, who were closely related to the Penumbrians.

## Description

A dry terrestrial planet, Antumbria was situated in Umbran Space, an area of space in the Central Expanse where Antumbrians and Penumbrians predominantly lived. Antumbria was one of the few habitable planets in its planetary system, orbiting a white subgiant star. Antumbria was the closest world in its planetary system orbiting its star. The planet had no natural satellites.

Antumbria's surface was known for its scorching heat and small presence of fresh water sources. Many Antumbrian cities were situated by the few oases that existed on the planet, while many others farmed water from deep within the planet's crust. The Antumbrian badlands dominated the planet's terrain, with sedimentary rocks made up of clay-rich soils. Because of this, it was believed that at some point in ancient history, Antumbria used to have much more surface water than it was known for in the modern era. Aside from the planet's badlands were enormous canyons, plateaus, and deserts.

### Government

The **Antumbrian Assembly** served as the planetary government of Antumbria. This council was composed of those deemed to be the strongest and most leaderlike individuals on Antumbria. Although an oligarchy, the Antumbrian Assembly was highly respected by the clans and settlements of the planet.

## History

### Ancient Times

Eons ago, there once existed a species of beastly sentient beings known as the Umbrans, who supposedly lived on the planet Umbra Historia. The Umbrans were said to have been the ancestors of the Antumbrians and Penumbrians. The exact location of Umbra Historia is unknown, only that the world was located somewhere in Umbran Space. There was major disputes on whether or not Antumbria or Penumbria was Umbra Historia, but definitive conclusions were never made.

At some point in ancient history, the Antumbrians colonized the planet Autumnia with Human colonists. Centuries of generations passed by to create a hybrid species called 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 thousands of years to come. The people of Antumbria eventually forget about the Autumnians as well, until their reintroduction into the galactic stage many years later.

## Inhabitants

The main inhabitants of Antumbria were the native Antumbrians, known for their musculature and innate physical strength. The Antumbrians lived in massive clans.

### Sentinels

Sentinel Antumbria was gifted with a powerful roar that could force anyone to fall to their hands and knees. Throughout most of history, Antumbrian Sentinels were often members of the council that ruled over Antumbria, called the Antumbrian Assembly, and as such were seen as champions of strength and leadership within Antumbrian society.
