Lampetus, the mothpeople's homeworld, is a cold and dark planet with a thick atmosphere and unique, bizarre vegetation. Gravity is very low, allowing mothpeople to fly freely despite their weak wings. Fauna is mostly comprised of insects, both small and large. The planet's surface is mostly barren, consisting of vast planes of mountainous dirt and rock in between thick, mossy jungles surrounding volcanic vents. Oceans can also be found on the surface, housing its own brand of bizarre lifeforms. In the far north and south are frigid tundras, where a majority of the oceans are located. It is in these jungles and by the oceans that moth civilizations can be found. | Lampetus, the mothpeople's homeworld, is a cold and dark planet with a thick atmosphere and unique, bizarre vegetation.

The history of the mothpeople is long, bloody, and laced with a healthy dose of ethnic superiority complexes. In the beginning, the moth breeds were strictly tribal. They often interacted with one another, though they rarely shared a village. It wasn't until the Flammantia breed (now known as Firewatch moths) began to aggressively take over the other moth tribes and place the first king into power in 1972 -- the not-so-subtly-named His Omnipotence -- that a grand majority of the mothpeople began to enter a more civilized age. Cities were built, tools became more advanced, technology was improving at a rapid pace, and art was at its peak.

Despite the fact that lesser tribes were slaughtered and sold into slavery, the mothpeople have entered a golden age that lasted for hundreds of years. | ||
In 2221, the Flammantia empire became too big for its own good. Infighting among the higher-ups, a disorganized army, and a weak ruler ultimately led to a breaking point. The lesser breeds, tired of the Flammantia empire's tyranny, began to riot in the streets. The riots lasted several months, never showing any signs of slowing down. The ceaseless chaos in the streets provided the Deathshead raiders a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity -- one that they took. | In 2221, the Flammantia empire became too big for its own good.

In 2223, two breeds rose to prominence: the Regno and Candidos. The Regno rose to power through a combination of Flammantia-style slave trade and promise of a second golden age. The Candidos, distant relatives of the Regno breed who hail from the north, had a far more capitalistic approach to monarchy. They held a monopoly on medicine, a commodity that was in very high demand at the time. Over the course of over two hundred years, these two breeds started having a say in more and more global affairs, until they adopted kingdoms of their own. The Regno, with their slaves and their strong disposition for the advancement of mothkind, thrust the moths into an industrial revolution and built cities all over the world. Candidos, with their wealth and their strong drive to discover the undiscovered, was responsible for all research and development projects. With this research, they advanced the field of medicine to unprecedented levels. The moth lifespan has practically doubled since they have come into power. | In 2223, two breeds rose to prominence: the Regno and Candidos.

The current rulers of the Regno and Candidos breeds, His Opulence (Regno) and His Benevolence (Candidos) respectively, are incredibly prideful of their race. They will do anything to advance mothkind to new levels, even if it involves cooperating with races other than their own. It is this driving force that led to His Opulence and His Benevolence cooperating with NT. | The current rulers of the Regno and Candidos breeds, His Opulence (Regno) and His Benevolence (Candidos) respectively, are incredibly prideful of their race. Despite their pride sometimes getting in the way of diplomacy, they mutually agree that they are better off as close business partners. They will do anything to advance mothkind to new levels, even if it involves cooperating with races other than their own.

Mothpeople come in many varieties, evident by the vast spectrum of wing patterns found within their species. Mothpeople take great pride in their wings, and will often wear them like a badge of honor. In terms of moths interacting with other moths, however, some wing patterns will be treated differently than others due to that certain wing pattern's background. (Note: Not every moth with the same wing pattern is related. They just come from the same background. Think of them more as races and less as species/genetics.) | Mothpeople come in many varieties, evident by the vast spectrum of wing patterns found within their species.
