History & Background[edit]

Umorphutwyo is an oddity, a world with trace atmosphere and no surface water, apparently unsuitable for life and yet hosting two different communities. The original Droyne population arrived here from overpopulated Layne (world) in 350, and built an underground colony which depended on relatively advanced environmental control for its survival.

  • The colony remained isolated for several centuries, developing an underground net of tunnels and artificial caves. In 920, neighboring Waboni (world) decided to establish a colony in the system, building a starport and an enclosed city in the surface of the world. The existence of the Droyne colony was discovered long after the work had been started. The Droyne nominally accepted the human rule over the world, as long as their underground civilization remained untouched. Human companies found an unexpected market in the Droyne population. Coexistence was peaceful for almost two hundred years.
  • In 1102, a civil war in Waboni divided the world in two rival states, the Waboni Concordate (under a military rule) and the Tharan Republic. Clashes between the Concordate and the Republic have been frequent ever since. The human colony in Umorphutwyo initially declared its allegiance to the Republic, but the Concordate seized control of the world in 1118, imposing harsh control measures over the human population.
  • The Droyne leadership of the Concordate is a ruling aykruskloss (oligarchic board of oytrip senor leaders).

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility[edit]

Umorphutwyo, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Nobility overseeing the world.

Languages[edit]

  • Oynprith
    • Droyne Languages: Oynprith is a ceremonial and ritualistic language apparently universal among Droyne communities. Other languages are used in casual day-to-day affairs.
    • On this world, these other languages may include Anglic and Vilani (language).

Urbanization[edit]

The city of Adysroyo is a Droyne-dominated settlement with some human neighborhoods.
