The Masgai Homeworld is an otherwise unnamed and remote planet that serves as the homeworld and capital of the Masgai.[1]
Overview[]
The Masgai's homeworld is a remote planet. Their capital city, Rig-Veda, remains hidden somewhere on the planet, its location jealously guarded by both mundane and magical means.[2]
Inhabitants[]
The Masgai are empire builders and are slowly spreading their influence from world to world. An insectoid race, the Masgai are tall and long-limbed. They walk upright on spindly legs, and their thin arms extend almost to their knees. Their entire body is covered by a dark chitinous layer, and their faces are elongated, with two wide-set eyes, a prominent jaw, and sharp teeth.
The Masgai have developed a systematic approach to gaining dominion over other worlds. They begin by establishing trading enclaves in the most powerful cities of each world, entering into trade alliances that give them both financial and political power. When they determine the time is right, they establish a minor settlement on the edge of the frontier, helping the indigenous races keep any humanoid, giant or monster populations at bay. Once they have been accepted, they slowly increase the size of their settlements until they can challenge for political, economic and military supremacy. The Masgai are perfectly content to wait for centuries for their plans to come to fruition. They prefer to establish control without military conquest, but they engage in battle without hesitation whenever necessary.[2]
