History & Background (Dossier)

This world is the overall capital of the interstellar government of the Grand Duchy of Marlheim, a tightly controlled and avowedly expansionistic state.

Admiral Katarine Tang, one of the last successful Reaver warlords in Ea Subsector, found the inhabitants of Marlheim worn down by the depredations of the Long Night and all-too-willing to accept the rule of a strong protector. Thus was born the Grand Duchy of Marlheim in -347.

Languages

• Kdaar
• Platt

Platt -- itself influenced by languages including Trokh -- combined with a form of Reavers Cant to produce Kdaar; the modern version of which, deliberately engineered by the totalitarian government, is Marldaar.
