Important characters:
Underlord- Valvathus Underlord of Mordenia-Current Underlord of the Revghuls. His family have been the monarchs of Mordenia since records began. Originally a fair and peacful lord, Valvathus has grown angry and hateful towards humanity because of the arrogance and disrespect they show to his people and his planet. Despite his now hateful nature, the Underlord value all of his people equally and is the first Underlord to allow lesser ghuls serve as leaders of...well,anything.
Queen- Vaneria the Ghulqueen- Vaneria shares her husbans genocidal hatred of humanity, she is cold and often seems to care about nothing, although when her children,lesser ghul or higher, she becomes ferocious, this is evident in her hate of humanity as one of her lesser ghul spawn were killed during humanity occupation of the planet.
Military Leader- Zeneta the Flame of war- An easily irritated and ruthless Ravinelord,leader of the Revghul military, Zeneta was one of the first to whisper the suggestion of rebellion to his king and has been quietly training younger Ravinelords for the day when rebellion arises. Originally trained as a spymaster, it was quickly discovered the ghul was far too irritable for the task and was instead taken on by a commander of the ghul military. He quickly rose through the ranks to become the Revghul's flame of war
Religious/Science leader- Yularia the Corecaller- Currently the oldest living Revghul, Yularia was born when space travel was still a relatively new idea to his people, he has grown wise and intelligent over the years due to his tinkering with technology and his almost daily meditation to 'communicate' wity the Corelord. He is responsible for the creation of experimental plasma weaponry and is currently calling for talks to begin with the Corelurkers due to their rapidly increasing intelligence.
Spymaster- Wantet the Shadowmaster - One of the few lesser ghul to serve the monarchy directly, Wantet began his life as a spy for the Imperium, however he was quickly returned back to his homeworld as ghuls were being used less fkr surveillance due to the fear the race caused in many people (and likely many a child was scared into submission due to threats that the Revghuls would take them away for being bad). On a turn of luck, he was noticed by the Underlord himself on a routine parade through his cavernous cities , he had been stealthily following a human that had insulted him with intent to try and murder him. Indtead he was taken in by the Underlord and trained even further as a spy. Intelligent and patient, Wantet wished he could live ling enough to watch the human imperium crumble. Although the Underlord has hopes his higher quality of life may expand his life significantly.

Technology:
Additional: ghuls began their existence underground due a plant on their planet that used a process similar to photosynthesis to absorb sulphur dioxide and sunlight for energy but respired oxygen out of it's roots while using the sulphur to grow.

Main Race:
Revghuls, a race of humanoid creatures that live in the caves underneath their planet's surface. The race is split between two castes, the higher ghuls and the lesser ghuls. Both castes have pale skin, glowing yellow eyes and have sharp claws with capabilities to walk bipedal or on four limbs and are easily able to burrow through even the toughest dirt. Lesser ghuls are smaller, ranging from 3-4 feet tall and are incredibly nimble , capable of climbing walls and silently moving although they are fairly less intelligent than the higher ghuls. Higher ghuls are far taller than their lesser counterparts, standing between 6 and 8 feet although the upper end of this is rare. They are exceptionally intelligent and cunning, they are also able to spit sulphuric acid if they have any sulphur stored in their body from their planets atmosphere. Male ghuls have tails and grow spikes along their backs as they reach maturity. Most lesser ghuls can live about 40 years before dying while higher ghuls can potentially live for hundreds of years,the oldest living ghul is currently 550 years old.
While ghuls do not technically reproduce at a rapid rate, females of the race are incredibly fertile and on average will produce about 4 children after each 8 month pregnancy cycle.
The race also have specially adapted lungs which allow them to inhale the sulphur dioxide that their planets surface contains in abundance, separate the oxygen and store the sulphur in a sack in their throats which they may throw up as sulphuric acid or as the solid itself. This natural ability was actually used to kick star the races industrial revolution.

Minority races: Humans,
Core Lurkers- core lurkers are large spider-like beings that inhabit the deepest caves of the planet, they range from 7-10 feet in height and are generally aggressive towards other races, although during times of crisis for all native races, the species becomes more docile and even cooperation with other races. Core lurkers are relatively intelligent and generally live in small 'villages' in the planet's mantle. They are highly resistant heat.
Urups- Humanoid beings with yellow skin that have adapted to living on the plane surface, they have thick skin and a protective layer over their eyes to protect them during 'sulphur storms'. While many have shown the ability of higher thought and intelligence, most Urups are barbaric and attempt to attack most races on sight, although like the Core lurkers, they become more docile towards other natives during times of crisis. Their aggressive nature has led humans to destroy a large portion of the species.

Demography: 60% Revghul 30% human 5% Core lurker 5% Urups
Religion:
Many Revghuls hold the belief that they and all the other races of their planet were forged from the molten sulphur of the planet's core. This, paired with the strange behaviour of other native races during times of calamity, has lead many Revghuls to believe the core is a God that influences it's creations to work together in times of need and to succeed together. For this reason most Revghul agreed to allow the more primitive races of the planet to unite and form nations so they may create a prosperous empire together. Although this hasn't stopped the Recycle from starting early.
Culture:
Revghuls live and die by their caste. If a Revghul is born a lesser ghul, they will lead a difficult life but they will move through it with an almost fanatical urge to please the monarchy. As a society, and to some degree on an instinctual level, lower ghuls are made to love their monarchy and leaders, from the posters scattered throughout the underground cities to the speeches given by Ravinelords about the greatness of their Underlord and Queen even the monarchs themselves seem to create a sense of awe among all Revghuls.
Higher ghuls (which are much rarer, with there being a 1 in about 1000. chance of a lesser ghul birthing one and a 1 in about 500 chance of a higher ghul birthing one) will be taken under the mentorship of an older Ravinelord who will teach them how to complete a variety of tasks,to read and write and educate them in most technology scholars of the higher ghuls have developed.

History:
When the human imperium first made contact with the Revghul monarchy, the scouting ship that had arrived to survey the planet was quickly dismantled and its occupants ripped apart and devoured by a swarm of lesser ghuls that had found them. When the true human force arrived, the monarchy realised the sheer scale of the enemy they face and welcomed the occupying force with open arms, while a significant amount of lesser ghuls were killed to pay for the lives of the crew members killed, the Revghul monarchy cooperated with most of the imperiums demands quickly and without complaint, they allowed lesser ghuls to be taken and used as spies and welcomed shipments of prisoners sent by the humans to be left in the Mantle Dungeons (essentially tiny cells in the planet's mantle that would gradually roast the occupant alive over the course of several months).
Tensions began to rise between the Revghul and the humans when overseers were put in place to ensure the monarchy did not rebel against the imperium, this wounded the monarchical pride but also caused riots among the lesser ghuls, although they were swiftly silenced. Despite the anger shown by the Revghuls at the beginning of their subservience, little of note happened for several hundred years as the monarchy waited,hoping the imperium would simply die off due to over-expansion and the overseers could then be executed via being thrown into the lesser ghul slums. However as this never happened,even the Underlord began to grow restless and there were whispers in the cities that the imperium was planning to drill the planet's core due to its incredibly high sulphur content that could be used in chemical production and many other things. This led the monarchy to agree in secret that something had to be done about the imperium, it would not be hard to regain the general population's trust and to overthrow the local forces, but the imperium fleet would be a far greater problem.

Description of Military:
The Revghuls military is commanded by several dozen Ravinelords who themselves wear advanced suits made of light but strong metal alloys that are fairly resistant to damage and wield a variety of weapons from chainguns to flamethrowers and are skilled in close quarters combat. Lesser ghuls make up the majority of the army using steel blades attached to their wrists and their corrosive spit as weapons with many donning weak iron armour to stop minor damagem A single Ravinelord may command millions of lesser ghuls at a time although the only reliable method of communication is a series of high pitched shrieks that are generally only used for general commands
The Revghul fleet consists of lightly armed but highly manuverable scavenger ships capable of transporting prisoners and goods with ease. Most military leaders also have personal troop transports that are approximately 600 metres in length and 75 metres in height made of thick titanium and armed with heavy kinetic rounds along with chambers that are able to release concentrated sulphur dioxide into the surrounding area.

Technology:
Lesser ghuls are around the end of the industrial era with large factories using sulphur as fuel being present in most undercitities, electricity is also becoming commonplace in most areas.
Higher ghuls have significantly more advanced technology and have fairly advanced space faring technology, higher ghul scholars are currently experimenting with plasma weaponry although it is generally considered not energy efficient enough to use with current technology.
