The Feron rule the red planet of Cadfall and revere the Great Chain of Predation. They follow a strict caste system, enforced by a pitiless police state but now depleted by emigration following the War. In the Conflux, the Feron Governors rule from the Magnarx, the great stronghold atop the spear-like meteorite known as Spiralis, though many former Feron warriors have left the service for lives of adventure, seeking opportunities for the brave and the foolhardy.
