Obsidanian
The Obsidanian people (sometimes referred to as the Lava-Men) are comprised of stone plates and blood-magma both inanimate objects imbued with life by the Blood-Magma Basins. They are at the head of one of the strongest empires in Lasitals history and are individually some of the most incredible warriors in the world. They have a powerful ability only accessible to them and the redbourne people that allows them to control lava with near Telekinetic precision. They used this to turn their formerly lush country into a barren wasteland with the only plant life remaining being the stone-wood trees.
Their pantheon is different to most others. They worship Arrk-Kuth (god of violence) as their patron deity and infirniar (god of water) as his opposite.
They are very warlike and love conflict.
