| - Discovered in 25th century, Gwynneth is a binary star system. The hazardous Paracelsus Belt messes with navigation and incinerates ship crews. Anunnaki ruins have been found in the system, but whether they have anything to do with the Paracelsus Belt is unknown. Shortly after discovery the world was quickly sold to House Juandaastas, but they lacked the resources to exploit the world. Colonization of coastal regions was easy, but interior forest areas proved lethal due to rock trolls, which was a problem since the forests originally covered every single mile of the planet's surface. The rock trolls were eventually mostly exterminiated, although hidden colonies remain underground today. House Hawkwood was going to marry into the planet's rulers in 2849, but the bride was murdered so instead they invaded and conquered. The world was then the object of [Ukari conquest attempts in 2855. The Ur-Ukar allied with the Rock Trolls against the humans. Gwynneth was bombarded by the Church after the fall and excommunicated for 300 years for refusal to give up technology and return to a pastoral life. In 4810 it was invaded by the al-Malik and conquered for two years. During Emperor Wars, the Inquisition brutually suppressed the Forest People, who today are striking back against the Hawkwood overlords for past injustices. Rock Trolls have resurfaced and are terrorizing remote villages and mining efforts. Generally the populace is generous and free-thinking, with a high percentage of artists, philosophers and mystics. Many religions are found here, such as the Eurygnostics (Incarnate sect), Preceptors, Zuranists, pagans, et al. Gwynneth and Ravenna nobles dislike each other, since Gwynneth nobles blame Ravenna for Gwynneth's quarantine circa the 45th century, while Ravenna nobles blame Gwynneth for blockade from 4687-4689 at Halvor Li Halan's bidding. The nobles of Gwynneth are also not generally friendly with Criticorum.
