Can I just say I love your idea that maybe it was the Glukkon's retreat from the night sky that led to them meeting the races that would eventually make up the Investor class. You've got this entire people feeling shafted and betrayed, and here come these things out of the shadows promising revenge and power. In their desperation, the ancient Gluks could have made a metaphorical (or perhaps literal) deal with the devil in order to reclaim their place on the surface.
This, of course, might have even resulted in the Glukkons straight-up enslaving the Mudokons and coercing the Sligs into servitude in order to create a workforce necessary to meet the demands of their new masters. I really hope we get to see these guys eventually, because they're long overdue for some screen time and/or a chant-induced headsplosion.
