The Age of Foundries (0–260 A.F.)

Vharax-Null began as a barren mining world discovered during the final wave of the Expansion Epoch. When deep-core drills struck veins of “vharaxite” — a metallic crystal capable of holding data like living circuits — the world became indispensable. Refineries and foundries rose overnight, forming the first hive: Golganneth Spire.

By 173 A.F., industrial expansion birthed Morrak’s Rise — a second hive across the toxic waste plains, built by rival consortiums. The two hives thrived in uneasy cooperation, their economies feeding off one another.
