Vaati

Vaati (pronounced: /ˈvɑːti/ VAH-tee) were a race of powerful beings dedicated to law who opposed the forces of the Abyssal Lords, the Qlippoth, and the Maelstrom. The nature of the Vaati was unclear: some sages believed them to be powerful denizens of the Plane of Air, while others believed they were servants of Iomedae.

Basic Information

Biological Traits

Vaati were immune to all forms of aging, resistant to spells or abilities based on elemental air, and were capable of flight. Their eyes had infravision, seeing as far away as 90 feet (27 meters). Uniquely, their eyes could see through all air impediments to vision, such as fog and dust.

Genetics and Reproduction

Although they can be slain or laid low by disease, vaati are immortal. Most vaati are at least 3,000 years old, and many are much older than that. Vaati birth rates are very low; there are no more than one or two vaati children born in a century. The race will probably never recover from the losses it suffered during the war against Chaos.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Though fairly large and powerful, vaati eat very little. They seem to exist primarily on air.

Behaviour

Vaati were peaceful, usually preferring negotiation over fighting. As creatures of Law they would often appear narrow-minded to other races, and were overly concerned with rules and etiquette.
