The Colonies

The home of the Formians on Castrovel. The Colonies occupy the Southwestern continent, which consists largely of desert. How the Formians manage to maintain such vast numbers in such a barren land is unknown.

In ancient days, the six Formian hives that occupied the Colonies warred with one another (as well as with the Lashunta and the Elves) as each of six queens strove for dominance. However, unknown factors caused them to set aside hostilities and pledge allegiance to an "Overqueen," a concept that allowed the hives to live in harmony. It is not known whether the Overqueen is an actual entity or merely an ideal, but either way all Formians on Castrovel have pledged themselves to "her."
