Vedalken

Nothing is perfect. Vedalken not only believe this fact, they rejoice in it. Every imperfection is a chance for improvement, and progress is an endless march toward a state of perfection that can never be reached. This viewpoint leads vedalken to pursue their work with delighted enthusiasm, never deterred by setbacks and excited by every opportunity for improvement.
Vedalken are tall and slender, standing almost a head taller than humans on average but weighing about the same. Their hairless skin comes in a range of shades of blue. Their eyes are darker shades of blue or violet. They lack external ears, their noses are broad and flat, and they are partially amphibious.
Despite being talkative, vedalken keep their personal lives private, and they tend to engage more with ideas than with people. They form close friendships based on mutual interests or compelling disagreements, and their interactions dwell on their thoughts about those issues rather than their feelings about them.
To members of other races, vedalken often seem cold, even emotionless. That assessment isn’t fair—they feel emotion every bit as intensely as other folk do, but they are skilled at not displaying it. Cool rationality guides their actions, they make and follow careful plans, and they are patient enough to do nothing when the ideal outcome relies on such inaction.

Civilization and Culture

History

As planes merged and seperated with the universe of Etharis, orcs arrived on the continent and spread. while the tribes spread over the land two orcs Utpeedan and his wife Chetana found sparks of godhood, which Aol left behind. Utpeedan used his newfound powers to claim domination over the brutal orcs and embraced their tyrannical ways. Chetana in contrast, never agreed with the feral and rabid behaviour of her race. she seperated from her husband and travelled far to southeast of Castinella where she formed the continent of Shemari. there she placed a own creation, living beings of logic and rationality, never to be dominated by the brutish orcs. She called them Vedalken, a species of people, which founded the Hiris Dynasty. the Vedalken grew to be a competent race using magic for building, sustaining themselves and even war. but as magic cannot always win against the will of man Vedalken later infused humanoid constructs with soullike supplements, creating the Warforged.
