The Kolmar Demonkin are a species that originates on the far southern continent. Their society's government system is Militant, with the constant need for defending their strongholds. Their continent is extremely hot and covered in magma plumes, lava flows, and volcanoes. They have spent most of their culturally known history reinforcing and defending their fortresses from onslaughts of Magma Golem creatures and Fire Elementals.
The Kolmar have very limited exposure to other cultures. There are only two known Gates on their continent. "The Frozen Gate" intermittently flickers briefly with a connection to the Frozen Tundra on the opposite side of the planet, and in the past has been used as a means of exile. "The Silent Gate" has not previously activated in centuries. Potential reasons for Kolmar choosing to pass through "The Silent Gate" gate could include exile, banishment, or a military scouting expedition. Members of a military excursion may choose to search for new materials to reinforce their fortresses or weaponry back home.
Many Kolmar are skilled Metalsmiths. Magma Forged Blackstone Armor is amongst the strongest ever forged, and therefore is notoriously difficult to obtain. Liquid obsidian is used for forging black stone armour and weapons. Blackstone obsidian can only be forged within the heart of a Volcano, and often results in the death of many of the Smiths prematurely.
The Kolmar Ranks are assigned as a prefix to their names.
The 12 Kolmar Military Ranks in order from highest to lowest are Xi, Xo, Yo, Yon, Kin, Kai, Ket, Non, Ni, Net, Sen, and Ess.
