The only sanctuary in the entire Shoxa region. While other monarchs ruled lands rich in multiple biocore sanctuaries, Shoxa had only one. And yet, that one was enough. Its ruler was the Skull Crusher Monarch—a living symbol of raw strength and merciless will.
In contrast, the Stines region was led by the Stormbreaker Monarch, and the Aspar region by the Ironheart Monarch. Though noble bloodlines across the land descended from ancient families, the Shoxa region was different. It was a matriarchy. The Brimes bloodline, like most of Shoxa, followed the rule of powerful women.
Men were respected, but often kept close to home—more protected than protectors. The women? They were like living myths. Amazons of flesh and blood. Fast, fierce, and unyielding. They marched into battle, conquered what needed conquering, and stood guard over what mattered most.
