Orichalcos is one of the richest civilizations and the preeminent economic power of the Reach. Orichalcosans are humanoids with metallic skin tones ranging from dull brass to bright gold.
There are two distinct populations: the dwarf aristocracy, and commoners of more standard height.
The environment of Orichalcos is inhospitable, so the aristocracy and their retinues live in domed habitats, while the rest of the population lives in orbit.
Other than official ceremonies, the aristocrats spend their time in leisure pursuits, entertaining the populace with their escapades broad-cast on social media.
The true rulers and administrators are a class of capitalists called Optimates. They collect the money from the aristocrats’ holdings and theoretically keep it in trust for their masters, but clever ac-counting practices ensure it is all reinvested or paid out in bonuses.
