T’Rang will stop at nothing to procure what they seek, and have always fulfilled their
contracts, no matter how dirty the deed.
Naturally then, the Umpani and the T’Rang are strict competitors and strongly detest
each other. It is suspected by some, however, that certain alliances exist between the
two that prevent any third parties from entering the space trade picture, thereby
strengthening the suspected cartel which, in turn, keeps the prices of their wares
profitably on the high side.
There is a rumor that the T’Rang are actually in the service of the Dark Savant, who
has held a long standing contract with them to find Phoonzang’s missing world.
Naturally then, if the T’Rang are involved, the Umpani won’t be far behind. For it
needn’t be said the affair would bode them no good fortune should the T’Rang obtain
the Astral Dominae … no good at all.
There is one other, Vi Domina, a young girl with a reputation of being a rather fierce
and deadly warrior, and who is also rumored to be a far distant descendant of
Phoonzang, himself. Her lineage was traced by the T’Rang to repay a favor to the
Dark Savant, and she was taken into his custody shortly thereafter. It is unknown
whether her connection to the Dark Savant is willing or coerced, but it appears the
Dark Savant believes she may hold some yet unsuspected key to unlocking the secret
of the Astral Dominae.
The lands are also populated with a variety of native sons, and although they appear
to be simple and primitive, there are indications that a great technical civilization may
have evolved on Lost Guardia in the ages since the planet was created by Phoonzang.
It is not known what role, if any, they may play in uncovering the Astral Dominae, or
what secrets they may hold for those who venture in from outside worlds. And, with
the startling appearance of the travelers from the stars, some have begun to suspect
that their own legends may be unfolding, and the prophesied end of their world is at
hand.
These are the players then, that inhabit the world of Lost Guardia, and play a role in
the quest for the Astral Dominae. Thus it is that our party of brave adventurers shall
set foot on Lost Guardia and enter into Crusaders of the Dark Savant.
