Byzantine, xenophobic, strangely honorable. Scattered far from the other colonists, undertaking an exodus in search of a new home, several sprawling clans were united under the prophet Veloth, and have managed to maintain a confederacy for their own protection. (Religious psychoactives, emphasis on mythology over history, strange philosophies and outlooks) This League seems ever ready to make war upon itself, one Great House against another, but somehow they always come together to face their external foes. Despite their initial isolation, Resdayn boasts impressive technological advancement, especially in xenobiology and energy field manipulation. The mechs and infantry of Resdayn have that sturdy bone-mold look to them, with the personal mounts of nobles being based on mythic figures from the days of Veloth.
