Planetary:
Planetary Name: Solbrecht
Environments: Solbrecht is somewhat dry. Most of it is covered in grassland, with deciduous forest growing in the places which are the very closest to the equator.
Continents: There are two continents on Solbrecht. Rihlos, the largest of the two and the one that contains snatches of an environment similar to Earth's, being on the equator. Along the edges it is covered in beaches and cliffs, as well as a few swamps. In the middle it has prairie and deciduous forests.
Solbrecht also has two moons, which rise and set at different times most often.
Oceans and Seas: There are two oceans and three seas.
Cultural:
Religion: Mantrin religion is varied more by region than by race. Those closer to the dryiest grasslands are likely to have a religion based around rain, while those closer to the more wet areas would have more to do with harvesting.
Customs: While mantrins have for the most part modernized so to speak, there are still some isolated tribes living in the more inhospitable areas of Rihlos. Many have left Solbrecht for space and now they are becoming increaingly common. Singing is a strong part of their culture, and they are known for their operas.
Languages: There are four main languages on the large continent, with some dirivetives in their larger cities (think of Brooklyn slang for comparison).
Historical: Mantrin history is very violent and countless wars have been fought since they first formed tribes. For this they have become very well known as fighters. Their tempers are also legendary. About seven hundred years ago a species called the Spartian came to their planet and abducted many of their numbers, thinking they were too primitive to have sentience. From the abductees the Ryrjhii and the Porlau were created. It took almost a hundred years, but the Spartians finally realized that their assumption of nonsentience was a mistake and gave their mantrin races the majority of their single continent as well as access to their advanced technology. The mantrins still on Solbrecht acheived their first space flight about a hundred and fifty years ago. At this time the Spartians returned and as an apology helped them to speed up their progress until now they are at a technological level comparable to humankind.
Technological: Mantrin technology is, on the whole, rather unremarkable except for the fact it improved so quickly. Their weaponry is the outstanding factor of their acheivements. Mantrin weaponry is usually the best money can buy, and they excell at being creative with it.
