Editing Lugian Lore (section)

=== On [[Tuu]] ===

The Lugian homeworld is called [[Tuu]], after one of their gods (“god of rocks and things that sit around” in one translation). It is a cold and mountainous world with no moons to grace the night. Instead, “[[The Forge of Heaven]],” a massive nebula that fills one-third of the sky, serves as a source of illumination after sunset.<ref name=Bestiary/>

Ancient scrolls record the earliest history of the Lugians when clans of nomad Lugians, led by powerful male warriors, roam the planet [[Tuu]]. Clan leadership is obtained by killing all rivals in combat. Female Lugians are no more than clan property, left in their ramshackle villages, responsible only for feeding the clan and caring for the young.<ref>[[The History of Auberean/Volume II: A Struggle With Darkness (-2,998 to -1,999)]]</ref>

The females of one clan create the first forge, forever altering Lugian society. The fire and smoke of the forge call to mind the wisps and trails seen in the massive nebula that dominates the night skies over Tuu. This similarity causes the superstitious men to believe that the women have somehow called down the power of the gods and accordingly allow the women to gain more power in their clan. With their advanced weapons, this clan dominates all rival clans and establishes a matriarchal rule.<ref name=HistoryIII>[[The History of Auberean/Volume III: The Fall From Grace (-1,804 to -891)]]</ref> This was referred to as the "Prime Compact", and the basics of the philosophy of "Arm, Mind and Heart" were laid down by [[Lauriagnel]], the first matriarch.<ref name=ArmMindHeart/>

Fringe clans that resisted the rule of the Matriarchs conquer the capital city of [[Tukal]], home of the Grand Assembly and Supreme Mother. The Supreme Mother flees to the mountainous region of [[Daegot]], while the Supreme Father and an imposter remain behind and are murdered, convincing the invading clans that the Supreme Mother is dead.<ref name=HistoryIII/> This period is referred to as the "Ceaseless Night".<ref name=ArmMindHeart/> Those loyal to the Matriarchs make the first discoveries of magic and alchemy using rare elements found in the mountains of Daegot.<ref name=HistoryIV>[[The History of Auberean/Volume IV: Shifting Ways (-888 to -574)]]</ref> Loyalists to the Matriarchs declare war on the clans still holding Tukal and this war between the Matriarchs and the clans lasts until a Lugian general, [[Gholl]], responsible for one-quarter of the clan forces is captured by the Matriarchs. As tired of the war as they are, Gholl reaches an agreement with them: In exchange for the hand of the next Supreme Mother, and equal seats for men in a new Grand Assembly, he will join his forces with them. Four years later, the clans holding Tukal are finally defeated. <ref name=HistoryIV/> After this "Second Compact", the traditions of "Arm, Mind, Heart" enjoyed a large resurgence.<ref name=ArmMindHeart/>
