| - There are two distinct sapient species inhabiting the planet of Abyormen, both of which are commonly called Abyormenites. Abyormen is a planet with a highly unusual orbit around a binary star system. Basically: it orbits the red dwarf star Theer, which in turns orbits a blue giant known as Alcyone, or Arren as the natives call it. This creates a unique seasonal cycle consisting of two alternating periods: a "hot" season and a "cold" season, each lasting for approximately 65 Earth years (830 local years). The two races peacefully alternate inhabiting the planet, one being active during the cold times, and the other during the hot times.

Abyormen is a planet with a highly unusual orbit around a binary star system. Basically: it orbits the red dwarf star Theer, which in turns orbits a blue giant known as Alcyone, or Arren as the natives call it. This creates a unique seasonal cycle consisting of two alternating periods: a "hot" season and a "cold" season, each lasting for approximately 65 Earth years (830 local years). The two races peacefully alternate inhabiting the planet, one being active during the cold times, and the other during the hot times. The "hot season Abyormenites" are radially-symmetric, thermophilic beings, while their "cold season" counterparts have a fairly humanoid appearance. Although radically different, both races are about the same size (4.5 feet, or 1.3 meters tall) and speak the same language. Also, they both have a similar social structure, with a selected group of individuals remaining alive through the adverse season to act as Teachers to the new generation, once it is born.
