 The abnormally high concentration of magic energy in their local sector has given rise to psychic abilities among a relatively high portion of the population, although their magical ability is in general, not that powerful. Outside of this development their evolution also gave rise to bodies suited to the swamps and bogs of their home moon including features such as: webbed fingers and toes, ears suited to hearing in liquid and gaseous environments, and a membrane that protects their eyes when underwater.  The abnormally high concentration of magic energy in their local sector has given rise to psychic abilities among a relatively high portion of the population, although their magical ability is in general, not that powerful.

 The Silyph began as an attempt to replicate the feats of the precursors. Drunk on their perceived freedom from the shackles of their ‘overlords,’ a nascent empire, whose name is long lost to the annals of time, plundered as much information and technology from the failing Precursor empire as possible, and in an effort to demonstrate their newfound strength, attempted to ascend a species to sentience. The Silyph began as an attempt to replicate the feats of the precursors.

-The project began on various moons around Hasiin- specifically, the five moons designated for terraforming. These moons were already mostly habitable, as there was previous precursor infrastructure built on these moons; the precursors used these moons originally as a research point for portal technology, but as the massive Gates were established and built over time, the moons turned into minor maintenance stations, and eventually, they became lost to obscurity as the precursors were embroiled in maintaining their existence.+The project began on various moons around Hauliin- specifically, the five moons designated for terraforming.

 What fell into obscurity, however, proved to be immensely beneficial to those who proclaimed themselves to be the successors to the now-fallen empire, and this nation took advantage of not only the advanced technology they looted, but also a hidden asset: A precursor female, hidden deep within the nearly defunct hypergate. They took advantage of the precursor’s genes, and the nascent wildlife in the five moons, and began their project. What fell into obscurity, however, proved to be immensely beneficial to those who proclaimed themselves to be the successors to the now-fallen empire, and this nation took advantage of not only the advanced technology they looted, but also a hidden asset: A precursor female, hidden deep within the nearly defunct hypergate.

 ===== Habitat and Population ===== ===== Habitat and Population =====
  
-The moons of the gas giant Hasiin are a soggy mix of bog, swamp, muddy deltas, fens and cold marsh biomes, creating an overall landscape where the land is dominated by water infused with potassium acetate, with the few patches of land being largely unstable muddy land. While there is some terrain that offers some differentiation from the waters, such as the occasional mountain set, or giant lake, the overall biome of these moons is shallow water broken up by trees, mud, and reeds to create giant fields of wetlands.+The moons of the gas giant Hauliin are a soggy mix of bog, swamp, muddy deltas, fens and cold marsh biomes, creating an overall landscape where the land is dominated by water infused with potassium acetate, with the few patches of land being largely unstable muddy land.

 Such moons are what most Silyph have known for all their lives, as even when they achieved spaceflight, the Silyph were never inclined to explore far beyond their moons due to the numerous asteroid clusters surrounding their moons proving to be a rather difficult navigation hazard. Such moons are what most Silyph have known for all their lives, as even when they achieved spaceflight, the Silyph were never inclined to explore far beyond their moons due to the numerous asteroid clusters surrounding their moons proving to be a rather difficult navigation hazard.

A mix of ancient Silyph and Precursor tongue, it was eventually standardized and is now taught to all Silyph regardless of moon of origin. Though other languages unique to each moon do exist, they have all been nearing the status of dead languages for some time now and are largely not spoken outside of preservation efforts and historical society circles.

-Required. How do members of this species refer to each other? Examples are really important here, since people will use them to come up with their own names. If using a real world language or culture as a basis, maybe link to some name generators? +All Silyph have a given name and most tend to add on their tribal affiliation to their name, though some take on a clan name in addition to or as a substitute for their tribe's name. Generally Silyph names are constructed of flowing vowels and consonants. They often have a soft sound to them such as Fiona, Mysa, Liala, or Saya for girls and Raiya, Esaimi, Ioro and Wasa for boys.
