Adamantus

**Adamantus** was a terrestrial planet in the Cassiopeia Galaxy entirely covered in diamond crystal plains. As one of the Dreamer Worlds, Adamantus was one of the thousands of exclusively Dremirian colonies in the galaxy. It was the home of a cultural group of Dremirians called the Adamantans.

## Description

The planet Adamantus was a rocky world located in the northwestern reaches of the Dreamer Worlds, which itself was situated in the broader Central Expanse region of the galaxy. The planet was covered in diamond crystal plains.

### Government

The **Adamantan Council** served as the planetary government of Adamantus, composed of elected officials from the planet's population. This council was part of the Dremirian Alliance, before the commonwealth's dissolvement after the War of the Crystals. The centralized power of the planet greatly diminished after the end of the war, primarily due to a lack of support from the fractured Dremirian Alliance and due to being repeatedly targeted by the Praeliorian Empire.

## History

For much of its history, Adamantus was a prized colony of the Dremirian Alliance and proudly provided the Alliance with defensive support.

### War of the Crystals

The Adamantans participated in the War of the Crystals, joining the Dremirian Alliance's fight against the Praeliorian Empire. Like many other worlds overseen by the Alliance, Adamantus was lost as an Alliance colony during the war. As one of the top defense forces of the Dreamer Worlds, Adamantus itself lost much power throughout the thirty years of fighting.

### Era of Diamond Dust

After the war and during the Era of Diamond Dust, the Adamantan Council was forced to look after itself and its mother planet without the assured aid of the Alliance. Because of the Adamantans' reputation as some of the strongest and proudest protectors of the Dreamer Worlds, the planet was repeatedly targeted by the Praeliorian Empire even after the war's end, thus diminishing the power of an already weakened defense force in the Dreamer Worlds. The centralized power of the council had greatly lessened as a result of these repeated attacks, as well as from the fracturing of the Alliance and a subsequent lack of support from them.

#### Dremirian Hunt

Sometime during the year 5940 ASA, the Praeliorian Elite Ticus Gáraman led a team of Praeliorian soldiers to the planet Adamantus, with their mission as imperials having been to eradicate a settlement of Dremirians and bring home their parts for dust. While many Dremirians were killed in the Praeliorian ambush, one Adamantan was resilient. The Dremirian Inferna, while all of her comrades had fallen, ended up murdering nearly all of the Praeliorians that attacked her settlement that day, including Ticus Gáraman himself.

The only soldier that survived Inferna's retaliation was a young woman named Pyrana Nirrót. In a fit of grief and fury, Pyrana killed Inferna in battle, ending the conflict on Adamantus once and for all. Once the empire retrieved Pyrana, they rewarded her for her supposed bravery by promoting her to elite status, thus beginning her ascension through the imperial ranks.

## Inhabitants

The inhabitants of Adamantus were a cultural group of Dremirians who referred to themselves the Adamantans.
