First there was Gemen, called The Terrible, because of his merciless battle tactics. But his warriors trusted him and would follow him through the horrors of another war.
Then there was Arath, called The Destroyer, because it was what he did best. But many people respected him and also flocked to his banner. These two remaining leaders had diametrically opposed concepts on how to contain and regulate their overly fertile people.
Arath chose to repress, control and dominate the females of his race, the Sorisi. Within his camp, the women walked a strict line of sexual decorum. And when that did not work, the choice was female infanticide.
Gemen, knowing he could never curtail the inclinations of his passionate, fertile people, the Shadrani, chose to create a same-sex society where children were conceived and born only through royal decree.
