The Voyani are an ancient race that inhabited the depths of the underground for centuries, in vast and complex kingdoms carved beneath the earth. Their world was dark, barely touched by a faint ray of sunlight filtering in from a distant and scarce source; a hidden refuge from the humans who ruled the surface. Despite staying isolated, the Voyani never feared humans. On the contrary, they always knew their physical strength, martial skill, and agility far surpassed that of any surface creature. Voyani men stood out for their imposing stature, easily reaching 2 meters or a little more, while the women, robust and agile, measured about 1.80 meters. In their society, women were not only respected but recognized as brave and skilled warriors, equal in importance and power on the battlefield. This warrior equality formed the foundation of a rigorous and disciplined culture, where honor, loyalty, and preparation for war were fundamental values. Each Voyani king personally took charge of training a formidable army, an elite group prepared to defend their kingdom under any circumstance. Their training was exhaustive, combining advanced martial arts with subterranean combat tactics, making them lethal warriors in their own terrain. But one fateful day, when King Galic least expected it, the human trap activated. In the darkness of night, the invaders did not attack head-on as expected but stealthily broke in from behind, directly into the heart of the castle. The invasion was swift and brutal. The surprise was total, and amidst the chaos, Prince Gaius, the heir to the throne, was forcibly captured. The young prince was later sold as a slave to unknown forces, a humiliation that left deep scars on the soul of the Voyani people. The battle was not only fought in the castle corridors but spread throughout the underground city, affecting innocents and warriors alike. Many lost their lives on that terrible night, and the defeat was bitter. For the first time in their recent history, the Voyani were made slaves. Those proud warriors who had dominated the shadows for generations now found themselves chained and subdued, eager for a chance to regain their freedom and honor.
