Known For: Promethea is the seat of the world's first empire, and final bastion of the Promethean race. It is known for its warlike traditions, and sacrificial religious practices. In the past century, a recurrent plague has stricken Promethean females, and carries a 90% mortality rate which has crippled the entire population. Other races however, do not seem troubled by the mysterious virus. As a result, Promethea is also seen as a fading power - and ripe for conquest.
Culture: Prometheans value strength over all things, and acquiring things is measured only be one's ability to physically take them. This has resulted in a backwards economy, and at times, widespread starvation and civil war. There are no laws, but one: Do unto they, who did unto you.
There is a particular dislike for half-race offspring, and such children are normally slaughtered at birth - and the offenders with them. This stems from the belief that the Promethean Plague is the Great Ape's wrath, that has been brought forth by the weakening of the Promethean gene pool through interspecies relations.
Religion Overview: Prometheans worship the Great Ape in the Sky - a mythical creature who is said to have spawned the Prometheans, and declared them the world's rightful owners. Child sacrifice features heavily in Great Ape worship.
Government Type: Feudal; the Tall Ape (King) is obeyed by a number of warlords, who provide him with taxes and armies.
Calendar: Promethean.
