Shell bugs

"'The shell bugs are one of the most fascinating races in the known world.' Urian Mirthallow in Glossary of Races."

Geography
Shell bugs are located in the north eastern part of the continent (blank) they are quite isolated due to the Corruption era where the shell bugs remain quite unharmed.

Information
Unlike other races shell bugs don't have a government or feudal system, they rely on the Shell Bug Queens to increase their population because without them normal female Shell bugs can only give birth to 1 larvae hence its rare to see shell bugs outside their home countries. They work on a hive like structures

Culture
Many Shell bugs devote their lives to their queens whether its to serve as a mindless drone or to cater to her needs. Interestingly enough every queen has her own unique colours and patterns which translates onto their offspring.

Due to normal females only producing 1 larvae families outside of their home country usually die out by the 2nd generation. so what some families do is that they make voyages to their home countries to adopt an extra larvae, this is repeated for as long as the blood line decides to live in the other country.

History
When they first came in contact with humans due to the Ice Age Era they declared war on the invaders from the north, the shell bugs had sufficient numbers and pushed back The Red Empire.

This was until The Red Empire came in contact with The Sleazy Salesman which informed the humans how the shell bugs feudal system worked and told them about the Empress Shell Bug.

The humans managed to assassinate the Empress in the Siege of Apiary Beta, this was a fatal blow to the       shell bugs causing each of the queens to disband.

The Red Empire took advantage of the crippled Shell bug nation, taking vast amounts of the land killing 13 queens the in the process.
