World Culture

Every ten years, Irale hosts a festival in the city of Khalumpoch. The highlight of the festival is a series of games designed to test the devotion of native Ro'akh practitioners. Like the Olympic Games of ancient Greece, the Khalumpoch Games are as much a religious devotion as an expression of competitive spirit. Travellers come from dozens of parsecs away to watch this remarkable event.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Irale, 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 subsector duke.

Economy

A practical people, the Azhanti recognize that Imperial science has been achieving great wonders long before they became part of the interstellar community. As such, they have made little effort to do more than acquire and use technologies already developed elsewhere in the Imperium.

World Timeline

• 676: After about a generation of covert contact, the IISS finally lifts the interdiction of Irale and begins the construction of a local scout base.

• 800: There is now a substantial Azhanti population in the nearby Antares system, and other settlements are appearing all across the sector.
