History & Background (Dossier)

The people of Sharim traditionally had a very rational world view, especially during the trials of the Long Night. Around the dawn of the Third Imperium, when off-world contact started to pick up, a new religion appeared and quickly gained ground amongst the population. Called Auug by its adherents, the religion is based around interactive monotheism but believes in random reincarnation. This religion is now only loosely organized, with small groups controlled by local priests, but has controlled more of the world in the past. The most recent of these dominant periods led to violence against the Imperial facilities on the world in 936. The response by the Imperium was to revoke Sharim's autonomy and place it directly under an Imperial Governor. This position required enough resources and talent that it was elevated to Ducal status in 984, and the holder remains a "March" Duke 130 years later.

Auug adherents are still considered eccentric, but the streak of violence 200 years ago is no longer considered normal amongst the membership.

Local Nobility

Sharim, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of three members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial count.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial minor duke.

Demographics

The Sharim are primarily of Vilani descent.

Records indicate that there were Droyne on this world when the first Vilani landed, some 7,000 years ago. For most of the First Imperium, the Humans and Droyne lived in peace, but in later eras relations deteriorated and the Droyne population largely emigrated away.
