Aethelans

Core Concept: The ancient, arcane architects of early interstellar society, who see governance as a long, intricate game.
History & Culture: Possessed of incredibly long lifespans and a natural affinity for the Cosmic Weave, the Aethelans were among the first to master space travel by blending magic and science. They charted the first stable star-lanes and laid the intellectual foundations for what would become the Stellar Imperium. Their culture is one of cool, detached intellectualism and noblesse oblige. They see themselves not as conquerors, but as caretakers of civilization, guiding the younger, more impulsive races with a steady, patient hand.
Place in the Universe: Aethelans form the arcane and political aristocracy of @The Stellar Imperium of Sol. Many of the highest-ranking wizards, diplomats, and councillors on the Adamantine Throne are Aethelans. They see the chaos of the Syndicate as vulgar and the Saiyans as a fascinating but terrifyingly blunt instrument in the cosmic game of chess.
Adventurers: Aethelan adventurers are often rebels against their staid society. They might be a disillusioned noble seeking a more meaningful existence, a powerful academic on a quest for forbidden knowledge, or a diplomat tasked with an impossible mission in the lawless outer rims.
