Elebrian
ell>LEE-bree-an
Elebrians are the dominant intelligent race of Eox. Most elebrians turned to undeath when the backlash from a superweapon decimated their world, and now only a few living elebrians survive to the present day.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Elebrians are very similar to humans, with whom it has been suggested that they may share a common ancestor in the ancient past. A typical elebrian stands slightly over 6ft tall and has pale skin and large, dark eyes. In order to house their large brains, elebrian craniums are oversized with slightly distended foreheads. Most elebrians are entirely hairless, except for a small minority that grow wispy hair on their scalps and thin eyebrows.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Elebrians have traditionally had quick wits and a natural desire to accumulate both knowledge and power. They are driven to tasks that provide either a valued insight or a significant advantage.
The small population of living elebrians living on Eox are often considered second-class citizens, relegated to settlements with breathable air and radiation shielding.

Civilization and Culture
History
Elebrian civilisation arose and flourished on Eox long before the Gap. The ancient elebrians were gifted in both the magical and technological arts. In their hubris, they went to war with the neighbouring planets Damiar and Iovo, then known as the Twins, whose residents refused to acknowledge their supremacy. Their most powerful weapon, capable of destroying planets, shattered the Twins into the asteroid belt now called the Diaspora, but also destroyed most of Eox's atmosphere and irradiated the entire planet. A few thousand elebrians survived the cataclysm in sealed underground bunkers, but the extent of the devastation made it clear that rebuilding was impossible. Elebrian leaders decided to turn to necromancy, transforming themselves and most survivors into undead in order to survive on their now-inhospitable homeworld; they became known as the first bone sages. Since then, undead elebrians have far outnumbered living ones on Eox.
7AG: The bone sages launched the Magefire Assault on Absalom Station. Their undead fleet was halted and defeated by the station's powerful defences.
41AG: A few years after Veskarium incursions into the Pact Worlds system (then known as the Golarion system), the Eoxi were the first to sign the Absalom Pact, a system-wide defence and governance pact. Not all elebrians supported this decision; a portion of the Eoxian military went rogue and were officially disowned by Eox's governors. There is no doubt that the elebrians were instrumental in defending the system from the Veskarium, and later the Swarm.
