Ascomanni Obsidians

The Ascomanni Obsidians emerge in the Red Rising Saga as the savage, untamed descendants of Obsidians who evaded the Society's brutal cullings, haunting the deep void like mythical wolves of space. In Iron Gold, these feral raiders with pale, scarred skin, long dirty white braids, and scrap armor adorned with animal pelts unleash terror on Republic ships, chanting eerie khoomei to their death god Hel while wielding axes and hammers, and devouring human flesh in ritualistic fury. Though their role is nascent in book four, they represent a primal force unbound by the Solar Republic's fragile order, foreshadowing escalating threats from the outer rim.
