Aachan

Aachan is a small, cool globe with a longer day but a much shorter year, a place of dark, oily bogs, luminous flowers, icy rifts and jagged volcanic ranges. It is home to the Aachim, a long-lived species of humankind, much given to hubris and the pursuit of folly, and bitter because 4000 years ago the Charon came out of the void, a mere hundred of them (The Hundred), took their world and enslaved the Aachim.

The Aachim are most tall and dark. They are a brilliantly creative species, great architects, designers and builders, though melancholy. Although they tend to be arrogant, one of their clans is different. They are small, pale of skin and red of hair. Clan Elienor.
