Regardless of the vote, I'm working on an Orus omake since Daemon and a few us rolled some stuff up for it in the Discord. The results are rather interesting.
- Orus is likely an Arid World, but a very nice one. It has lots of flat mesas of varying heights and a lot of plateaus. The joke is that it's Utah if it was an entire world.
- It is located within Corax's domain
- Orus has a population of 7.7 billion humans, after a century or two of peace following a rather destructive series of events that came after the end of the Age of Strife.
- There are three religious factions on this planet: Deorums (1.26 Billion followers), Buddislamists (1.5 billion), and (strangely enough) the Church of the Eternal Hytoth (500 million). See this
omake for details on all three. Everyone else is either atheist or agonistic. Ravenloft was dispatched here a while ago and is currently investigating and working with the government.
- a Deorum Theocratic Dictatorship nominally controls Orus, but with the Imperium, Ravenloft, and the Raven Guard moving it towards becoming a purely secular dictatorship.
- Orus has mostly started budget cuts on their military in light of being part of the Imperium to focus on the population in light of this growing change in culture. Orus has space assets but recently decommissioned its orbital station and now only has orbital defenses. Daemon said that Orus could make a "very shitty interstellar craft" if they wanted to.
- Otherwise, Orus has a huge military made up of citizen soldiers of overall medium quality. Their pride and joy are their armored regiments.
What makes this place interesting is that Daemon rolled for Ravenloft investigations to see if there is anything strange here...there is. There is a suspected Cognitohazard that appeared during the middle of the Age of Strife that was ultimately "knocked out" via creating what Ravenloft believes to be a "revisioned history" after intentionally deleting an entire era of their world history, so that effectively made everyone on Orus believe that "nothing happened," and this has been perpetuated for hundreds if nothing thousands of years. Ravenloft believes that the cognitohazard is still around, but it is quite passive and inert. They are currently looking into it.
But yeah, I'm still writing this omake regardless of the vote. So don't feel like you need to vote for Orus just because.
