It is a member of Third Imperium in the Remnants Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. Shankida, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight and the fiefdom of a count. Both are members of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Shankida was settled by the Ziadd early in the eighth century. The society is self-sufficient, and most everyone is single minded and self-opinionated.
World Culture (Cx)[edit]
Indenturing is common on Shankida; all children are owned and must work their way to freedom by repaying society for their upbringing and education. Those that do not achieve freedom (about 40%), remain indentured for their entire lives. The penalties for abusing indentured servants are fairly severe, and culturally mistreating servants is viewed as a mental disorder.
Languages[edit]
Urbanization[edit]
Ziadd structures tend to be solid and blocky and are usually heavily decorated. Many fly flags and banners declaring allegiance and status.
