## Background

The Myranths are a collection of species which originate from the water world of Myrana (also known as Adanus). In the more fantasy timeline of the ADIGASH Universe, Myranths also exist on Thelderam and inhabit a section of Ordinia known as the Coastal Conclave with their capital city of Aquam. Unbeknownst to the natives of Thelderam, the Myranths are actually aliens from another planet! In the more sci-fi future of the ADIGASH Universe, the Myranths are the most common species in the Concordant Directorships of Sappho-Myrana and for a period of time were the imperious dictators under the Imperium of Myrana.
