According to myth, the moon-diety Nicc was born of the Queen (or the sun, Aedor) Nicc. Nicc created the Kirr, and the Queen created, the Aman. The two dieties made a bet over which creation would last longest. The Aman were imbued with independance, and the Kirr had a social caste system. The Kirr were more resistent to salt poisoning (for example, they could drink seawater). The Queen told the Aman kingdom of Korelsull to destroy all the other kingdoms, including the Kirr. Seeing the threat, the Kirr built walls and underground cities, and ate a special fungus that didn't need sunlight.Tthen the impossible happened, as later calculated by Kirr astronomers to be a chance of one in two hundred trillion: a nearby sun passed near to Aedor, the quick thinking Aman calculated the chance of it g

  • According to myth, the moon-diety Nicc was born of the Queen (or the sun, Aedor) Nicc. Nicc created the Kirr, and the Queen created, the Aman. The two dieties made a bet over which creation would last longest. The Aman were imbued with independance, and the Kirr had a social caste system. The Kirr were more resistent to salt poisoning (for example, they could drink seawater). The Queen told the Aman kingdom of Korelsull to destroy all the other kingdoms, including the Kirr. Seeing the threat, the Kirr built walls and underground cities, and ate a special fungus that didn't need sunlight.Tthen the impossible happened, as later calculated by Kirr astronomers to be a chance of one in two hundred trillion: a nearby sun passed near to Aedor, the quick thinking Aman calculated the chance of it going close enough to hurt them, and found it negligeable. However, as it came closer, it's gravity tugged Aedor just close enough to evaporate much of the ocean, leaving a barren desert punctuated by the occasional lake. So, while the insectoid Kirr hid beneath the cracked surface, Korelsull divided into three clans, the Kirrsull, who hoped to use their ties to the Kirr to help them (this did not work), the Aedoric, the only ones to survive by copying the Kirr's tunnel ideas, and the Korelsull Nobility, who kept unto themselves and died overall in the Great Drought of the fourth eclipse of Aedor, some forty-thousand sun-cycles ago, by the Kirr-Reckoning. The lakes became The Great Salt Flats, and the old walls were replaced. This brings us to the ninth eclipse of Aedor, and the present day. Nicc won the bet, and temples were dug all across Aedor in celebration. Ancient stories tell of an ancient creature who in eternal boredom created the whole sector of the Kirr. One ancient writing confirms this, but the only name archaeologists could find was 'Neg---on' so for now anthropologists call it Negon
