For 100 years, the Zamdoigs coinhabited each other's domains, remembering their common ancestors and embracing their differences and cultures. The moon was hit with a meteor shower, killing many and displacing even more. With this shower, the planet was knocked off it's axis, drifting farther away from the sun. Thankfully, it found orbit elsewhere on another moon. It is currently impossible to travel to the other moon.
Like many societies, the culture of the Zamdoig is vibrant and full of life. Legends, folktales and slang alike have been passed down through many generations.
