Bluemen
Bluemen are an ancient civilization shrouded in mystery. The first historical records of them are when Emperor Polignac first encountered them in Ozame during his attempts to expand the Empire to the south. Not much has been written about them except that they were accomplished hunters and fishers and their territories were rich in minerals. Bluemen are also known for their strength and resiliency, which the empire unfortunately used to their advantage by exploiting them as slaves in the diamond mines of Ekengrad. This began the long suffering of the Bluemen under the empire.
The religion associated with Fel'Lökla has had some interactions with the Bluemen based on their shared experience with the sea.
The large towns of Arganne, such as Pamoisard and Cliffvale, are known for the great wealth of their inhabitants and educational opportunities, but also for their alleys which contain taverns, brothels, luxury brothels and sepium shops. The population is diverse, made up of humans, elves, blue men and even hobbits.
Emperor Polignac was the one who ultimately withdrew from the northern conflict with Nasgaroth. Instead, he redirected his efforts to the south, encountering the blue men, an ancient civilization with territories rich in mineral resources. Unfortunately, the Emperor swiftly enslaved them, exploiting their resources, and many were sent to the diamond mines of Ekengrad.
Emperor Gar III's cousin, Inqul de Saqual exploited Ekengrad mines until his death. Every year under his reign, hundreds of slaves and prisoners of war fell under the whips. Malnourishment and exhaustion carried the others. Saqual was ruthless and his cruelty was equal to his wealth. More resilient, a few blue men survived detention, some managed to escape by diving into an icy vein of water, others were eventually released.
Fruit of the deaths of thousands of his fellows, Jaeir, the Blue Man, had swore to keep a secret on a treasure sleeping at the foot of the Chkôl mountains. But the Great Evil and Disease were right about his convictions: to take care of his relatives and his clan, he sold his secret. The location of the cache, where Saqual's spires dropped the precious ore, was now known. The information was sold and resold, and in a short time, groups of mercenaries set out. The bait of gain was great and the soldiers, seeking glory and battle, braved the forbidden, ignoring borders. Within a few weeks, hundreds of fighters scoured the mountains of Chkôl, in the north of Ekengrad province.
According to the dark elves, Mundus used to be completely dark. When the creator god had the idea to create beings to populate the world, he created the perfect species in total darkness. This species, dark elves, grew in sophistication and intellect. One day, the creator had the idea to create light to admire his creation. Pleased with what he saw, he wanted to create more. However when he tried to copy it, he made the wood elves, who were a sad imitation of the perfection of the dark elves. Always chasing the perfect copy, the creator made species after species. Thus were born the blue men, the leprechauns, the satyrs, the goblins and the orcs until his last failure - humans, weak and mortal. Ashamed, he decided to no longer intervene in creation. He took humans as his protégés in order to give them a chance of survival.
The other gods chose their spheres of influence and their preferred species. The elves believe they were the only species to remain without god because gods feared their power.
While this story is not accepted by all, most historical evidence does suggest dark elves were one of, if not the, oldest civilization. Blue men oral tradition says they were there long before us, the witnesses of the world. Other titles given to them are the guardians of the moonstone and the eternals.
The population of Toirac draws most of its resources from the sea. The Balassouin is the most prized species among Ozame fishermen for its meat but also for the oil obtained from it and its numerous applications. Most of the territory which extends between Toirac and the region of the great rivers is covered with forest which runs along deep gorges forming impressive gorges. Toirac the capital is home to the Kingdom's parliament. The kingdom of Ozame has always fiercely fought against slavery and is the land of exile for hundreds of families from the people of the blue men. The current King of Ozame, Aurélien Sates, obtained the agreement of the population of Ozame to fundamentally reform the politics of Ozame at the end of the year 1001 of the first era.
