Gellack
this Saurton was a member of the Tresycht nation, when Messert Mines Corporation first purchased the rights to the Thergum Pits. Gellack used the alliance with Messert to obtain weapons and backing for his own army, and quickly subjugated the Yiszte nation. Within four years, Gellack had managed to take control of the entire planet of Essowyn. He then established the position of High Priest, a Saurton within each tribe who reported directly to Gellack himself. Over time, this system of government was adapted slightly in order to maintain the control of the High Priests yet continue to have a single planetary government.
