Children of the Xerxai

A primitive tribal race begins hearing voices in their minds giving them advice and instructions. They begin to revere the voices as gods. Within a few generations the primitive society is transformed into a space faring civilization.

The voices are believed to be an alien species from a different dimension. They wish to expand their empire into the main one but have no way to send anything through so they come up with the plan to use the children to recreate their own society.

Locations / Geography
Their homeworld is Stollos, a dry mostly desert world. The land on the planet consists of a single super continent. The inhabitants who don't follow the Xerxai are known as Stollians.

Biology
The Children are bipedal humanoids. They are only naturally about 1.5 meters tall but frequently use mechanical enhancements to increase their size upon reaching adulthood.

Females are super fecund. Usually mating with multiple males during each reproductive cycle. They can produce three to four offspring a cycle. After encountering the Xerxai their population has exploded. Going from a few million to close to a billion. Thier population is expected to continue to grow with coming generations.

History
The children were a primitive society until a few generations ago. Then some members of the society began to hear voices. Those that obeyed the voices were given strange powers and shown how to build technology far beyond their understanding. Conflict erupted beyond those who held the voices as gods and those who believed they were demons. The children who obeyed however were far more powerful and they're opposition was hunted down and eliminated. Now only a few dissenters remain on the children's home world.

Culture
The Children live in tribes. A chieftain runs the day to day affairs of the tribe but the true leader of the tribe is a shaman. The shaman communicates daily with the Xerxai and is given special powers. to enforce their rule. Now that the Children are space faring, ships are divided between tribes with each tribe having their own ship.

The religion of the Children centers on the worship of the Xerxai. They believe that the Xerxai are mighty warrior gods who are locked in a struggle against evil spirits. They believe they were created by the Xerxai while other races were created by lesser gods and spirits. Their religion was created by the Xerxai to encourage obedience and religious fury.

Technology
The Children have access to advanced weaponry and ships, however, they do not understand how they work. They are taught by the shamans how to operate the machinery but cannot understand the mechanics behind them.
