Brosaddar

The **Brosaddar** were a human civilisation that thrived in the northern Galaxy during the Third and Fourth Ages.

## History

The Brosaddar emerged at a tripoint between three civilisations: Black Sadřavan, the Londurilli, and Nabena. They escaped their doomed homeworld, Hirðuleys, in a great fleet of battleships.

Their first target was the Rynavont Empire to the south, seeking to plunder its vast wealth as a challenge. The Rynavonts ruined many worlds and took hundred of slaves, slaughtering many more.

One foolish Sadřavaen expedition provoked the savage fleets, leading to northwards raids and invasions from the Brosaddar. The Brosaddar were more merciful to the Sadřavaes, as they found out that those blue aliens venerated the same gods as them.

The Brosaddar were defeated after their two kings were slain in a space battle. Some were enslaved and harvested by the Rynavonts, others were incorporated as subjects to the Londurilli and Sadřavan, and still more became pirates. To the Novantirna descendants of the Sadřavaes, the Brosaddar became into an amusing caricature laughed at over the ages, an anti-example of how *not* to honour their Gods. The Novantirnas were also very disgusted by how the Brosaddar simply murdered anyone for even the smallest excuse, from just any female or any member who made a small mistake and angered their masters.

The last remnants of the Brosaddar joined the Freyrgardians and intermarried with them, as they were pleased by the latter's similar culture.

## Government

The Brosaddar were ruled by two emperors or high kings. Brokkoli ruled the west, and Garliz ruled the east.

Brosaddar tended to live in petty kingdoms, wandering nomads who leave behind a network of fortresses.

## Physiology

Brosaddar were humans, but with stronger bodies and more reckless tempers. They are easily angered and they love fights.

Although most Brosaddar can reproduce with women, they prefer to replenish their numbers through cloning. They grow head-trees, which sprout into more men complete with armour, swords, and axes.

## Culture

Brosaddar culture revolves around violence, fighting, and brawling.

Many Brosaddar wear horned helmets.

## Society

Brosaddar society was more unruly, with just a simple set of rules and everyone butchering their way to power and dominance.

Brosaddar loved to collect skulls.

Their names consisted of one given name, and a title combining two words that described their deeds or characteristics, such as Slave-lasher, Hairbrows, Everbleed, Bone-grinder.

Art and beauty were seen as abhorrent.

### Female Brosaddar

The Brosaddar were truly misogynistic, abhorring femininity and all females as "weak". Driven mad by their founders' obsession with being primitive, they would rather create a world where there are only men and warriors, and nothing else.

While nearly all Brosaddar were male, very rarely would a clone emerge as a female. Such rare clones would either be sent off to be killed as warriors, or simply killed for being a "mistake".

A few Brosaddar tribes tolerated female clones, rather than killed them off either as immediate warriors or erroneous clones. Such tribes also went south to raid Vigefionian colonies, whose people looked too similar to them, to take more slaves. The other Brosaddar murdered anyone from those tribes as "diseased" or "weak".

## Religion

In surviving Čarvasarien records, the Brosaddar were recorded to be praying to the same Star Gods in the Novantirna religion, such as Odin and Thor. But the way they do it is through killing and violence.

They believed that they must become brutal in order to win a place at Valhalla. Those who fail to kill and be cruel end up in Niflheim's or Helheim's cold.

## Trivia

* The Brosaddar were inspired by the "brosatru" subculture, a subculture of Norse pagans that were more focused on stereotypes of Vikings, masculinity, and violence. They were a contrast against other worshippers of the Norse gods in the author's sci-fi setting, from the technologically-advanced Malendors to the Freyrgardians.
