Ascomanni Obsidians

The Ascomanni Obsidians first surface in Iron Gold as feral, cannibalistic raiders who evaded the Society's genocidal culls, marked by pale scarred skin, braided hair, and brutal melee weapons while chanting khoomei hymns to Hel. Across Dark Age they evolve into terrifying polyextremophiles, their fused-metal skull crowns and psychotropic fearlessness allowing them to dominate null-G battlefields with vacuum, radiation, and thermal immunity. In Light Bringer their true origins are exposed as genetically engineered space pirates bred by enslaved Carvers in hidden Kuiper Belt asteroid nests, transforming them from primitive survivors into a deliberately cruel interstellar menace. This progression reveals a hidden lineage of engineered resilience that challenges the solar system's power structures.
