Solar Blades & Cosmic Spells - Galactic Overlords

Artwork by Louis Glanzman

The rulers of our universe. The ones that devastated and destroyed the old Empire to carve their petty domains on the ruins that were left and now destroy anyone who dares say they cannot do something they want to. Some of them make their subjects venerate them as living gods, other really believe they are indeed gods. Most only maintain order through violence, cruelty and fear, while rumors say that very few of them try to establish order through less deplorable ways.

These tyrants have a score of servants that run the planets and administer the day to day aspects of life for them, often abusing of their station. They use their authority and the powers the Galactic Overlords bestow on them to, many times, forge their own domains. They form the aristocracy of the sorcerous tyrants domains, and often fill the roles of clergy and police too.

Slavery is enforced on most, if not all, of these despots’ domains, as the population is explored and abused as much as the enforcers can. Those that can provide the servants of the Galactic Overlord (or the Overlords themselves) with some advantage, goods and benefits might have a way better treatment than the rest of the population, and most that do, end up corrupted and allied with this sinister scheme. Anyone outside of this little clique that demonstrate independence, power and wealth may soon be under the scrutiny of the Galactic Overlords’ forces.
