Golotspace is a crystal sphere dominated by the Vodoni Empire, and ruled with an iron fist by the Emperor Vulkaran. The sphere is named for its principal planet Golot.[1]
Overview[]
The planet Golot is dominated by a race of dragons who rule the skies, while its human inhabitants form an oppressed underclass. The human culture is not unlike that of Greyspace a few thousand years ago, with the people prone to mysticism and superstition. When Vulkaran's forces invaded the system, the Emperor challenged the dragons to bring forth their greatest warrior if they wanted to bring an end to the deadly sky battles once and for all. The dragons accepted, but Vulkaran readily defeated their champion, a red wyrm, in single combat.
The dragons concluded that none of their number could defeat the Emperor, and realizing that none of them had the leadership ability to unify their self-centered kin, they decided to capitulate. Vulkaran established an uneasy truce with the dragons, granting them freedom from his absolute rule. Instead the dragons would administer the day-to-day operation of the system in his name, like regional barons, while acknowledging him as their overlord. All the while, the human inhabitants of Golotspace continue to suffer.[1]
Location[]
Golotspace is part of a stable configuration of 12 spheres in the phlogiston known as the Vodoni Empire, which includes Vodonispace, Gorthspace, Kofuspace, Kra'akenspace, Lostspace, Passarspace, Salzarspace, Thasiaspace, Vergonspace, Vodonikaspace and Zalanispace.[2][3]
