THE KOBALLAH INCURSIONS:

The most devastating chapter in the history of Mavaria, and in particular, the Tormaq, came not as open war, but as occupation by invitation. During a period of famine and Red Hex instability, The Tormaq, the most intellectual and dominant of the races of Mavaria accepted aid from a group calling themselves the Koballah, who presented as bio-engineers and atmospheric specialists claiming ties to off-world research enclaves.


They were lying.


NECRUMONIA:

Necrumonia was constructed in a remote Mavarian basin, far from major settlements, under the guise of a medical and environmental research complex. Its architecture was stark and soundless, designed to absorb rather than echo. Locals reported that animals refused to approach the site even before its true purpose was known.


The Koballah believed that Mavarian biology, shaped by generational exposure to fluctuating Red Hex conditions, held the key to forced adaptation. What followed is remembered as The Quiet Years, because survivors struggled for decades to speak of it.


Experiments Conducted at Necrumonia


None of the following involved surgical spectacle. The horror lay in what was taken away, not what was visibly done to the Tormaq.


IDENTITY FRAGMENTATION TRIALS
Tormaq subjects were isolated in sensory-controlled chambers where time, light, and sound were manipulated. The goal was to see how long a person could remain cognitively intact when stripped of communal reference. Many emerged unable to recognise family, language, or self.


GENERATIONAL CONDITIONING
Entire family lines were detained and subjected to altered environmental cycles. Children were raised under false skies and fabricated histories to observe whether loyalty could be rewritten at a biological level.


RED HEX RESONANCE EXPOSURE
Subjects were placed near unstable Hex conduits and exposed to fluctuating energy fields. Survivors described persistent internal vibrations long after removal, as though their bodies could no longer agree on what reality felt like.


MORTALITY THRESHOLD MAPPING
Without physical harm, the Koballah engineered scenarios of perpetual anticipation. Subjects were made to believe that death was imminent, repeatedly, for years. The aim was to determine whether the fear of death could permanently alter neurological pathways.


Many subjects did not die and that was the point.


THE FALL OF NECRUMONIA

Necrumonia was exposed when a Mavarian elder disappeared and a clan refused to accept the Koballah’s explanations. Mavado’s citizen networks intercepted communications, Atlantian scouts confirmed off-world signals, and a joint incursion was launched.


The Koballah vanished before capture.


Necrumonia was sealed, not destroyed. The land around it remains barren in subtle ways. Sound carries incorrectly. Compasses fail. People report unease without cause. Today, the site is forbidden by Mavarian law.
