![]() ![]() Lanik Mueller, the 16 year old heir apparent to the Mueller throne, makes a dark discovery about himself. Three millennia on, the families have become warring nations, fighting on horseback and with swords over the iron, each in a race to become the first family to finally build a spaceship and escape Treason. Place something of value in the Ambassador, and if The Republic deems it satisfactory, they will send back a lump of iron in its place. However, The Republic decided to throw the families a bone: small teleporters, given to each family, called "Ambassadors". Treason, despite being a habitable planet, contains very little iron (and none of it easily reachable by the surface), so the families were essentially doomed to live out the rest of their lives in primitiveness. ![]() On the titular planet, a group of families were banished by The Republic over three thousand years ago for arrogantly attempting to usurp the government and install a meritocracy where only the intellectual elite (read: them) would rule. ![]() A Planet Called Treason is a 1979 novel by Orson Scott Card, later slightly revised and re-released as simply Treason. ![]()
