Everan is a unique and enigmatic planet, known for its striking duality that has captured the imagination of explorers, scientists, and adventurers throughout the universe. It is a world of stark contrasts, where the vibrant thrives alongside the desolate, and where ancient ruins and natural wonders are scattered across its surface.

=== A Brief History of the Xelthorian Civilization on the Desert World of Everan: ===

=== Ancient Origins: ===
The Xelthorian civilization's history on the desert world of Everan dates back millennia. They were believed to have originated in the fertile crescents of Everan's great desert, where ancient riverbeds and oases provided the basis for early agriculture and settlement.

=== Agricultural Prowess: ===
The Xelthorians were renowned for their exceptional agricultural innovations. They developed advanced irrigation systems that allowed them to transform arid lands into thriving farmlands, becoming a symbol of their resourcefulness and ingenuity.

=== Expansion and Trade ===
As their population grew and their knowledge expanded, the Xelthorians began to explore and settle in other regions of Everan. They established trade networks with neighboring civilizations and brought prosperity to their desert world.

=== Technological Advancements ===
Over time, the Xelthorians delved into the secrets of science and engineering, pushing the boundaries of their understanding. They developed cutting-edge technology in various fields, including energy production, transportation, and communication.

=== The Rise of Everan's Great Cities ===
The Xelthorians built magnificent cities across the desert landscape, incorporating advanced architecture that seamlessly merged with the environment. These cities became centers of culture, education, and art.

=== The Wisdom Keepers ===
An elite group of scholars and philosophers known as the "Wisdom Keepers" emerged to safeguard the Xelthorian's most profound knowledge. They were entrusted with preserving the civilization's most sacred secrets.

=== Cosmic Pursuits ===
The Xelthorians became deeply intrigued by cosmic phenomena and sought to unravel the mysteries of the universe. They built observatories and conducted groundbreaking research into space and celestial bodies.

=== The Cataclysmic Event ===
Tragedy struck the Xelthorian civilization when an unforeseen cosmic anomaly threatened Everan. The event, believed to be a violent cosmic collision, had catastrophic consequences, including massive earthquakes, climate upheaval, and the devastation of their great cities.

=== Desperate Measures ===
In their desperation to save their world, the Xelthorians activated the Guardians, colossal autonomous combat drones designed to protect their knowledge and culture from external threats.

=== The Fall of Everan ===
Despite the Guardians' valiant efforts, Everan was irrevocably changed. The planet's landscape was scarred, and its ecosystems disrupted. The once-thriving Xelthorian civilization was reduced to remnants of its former glory.

===  Legacy of the Xelthorians ===
The Xelthorians, with their vast knowledge and wisdom, entrusted their legacy to the Guardians, believing that one day, a future civilization might unlock the secrets they had preserved.

The Xelthorian civilization's history on the desert world of Everan is a story of prosperity, intellectual curiosity, and ultimately, survival in the face of a cosmic cataclysm. The Guardians, awakened in a different era, are the living relics of this extraordinary civilization, embodying the hope and wisdom of a bygone era.
 

===== History =====

**A Brief History of the Neldans:**

**1. Origins as a Viral Weapon:**
The history of the Neldans can be traced back to a time when the Xelthorians, in their quest for power, developed a potent biological weapon known as the "Evo-virus." This virus was designed to target and manipulate the genetic makeup of other life forms, rendering them subservient to the Xelthorian empire. 

**2. The Evo-virus Escapes:**
During a catastrophic experiment, a containment breach led to the accidental release of the Evo-virus. It rapidly spread through the Xelthorian laboratories, infiltrating various life forms and granting them exceptional psychic abilities. These altered life forms, previously unremarkable, began to evolve into what would later become the Neldans.

**3. Emergence of the Neldans:**
 Over time, the affected life forms, now called Neldans, exhibited extraordinary psychic powers. They developed telepathy, telekinesis, and the ability to manipulate the fundamental forces of the universe. Remarkably, the Evo-virus had transformed them into a new sentient species with a deep connection to the cosmos.

**4. Genderless and Eternally Connected:**
The Neldans evolved into a genderless race, as their physical forms were no longer constrained by traditional reproductive methods. Instead, they achieved a state of unity and interconnectedness, with their psychic abilities enabling them to share thoughts and experiences effortlessly.

**5. A Peaceful Civilization:**
 The Neldans, unlike the Xelthorians who created the Evo-virus, pursued a path of peace, wisdom, and harmony. They dedicated themselves to understanding the universe's secrets and sought to protect knowledge, culture, and the wellbeing of all life forms they encountered.

**6. Guardians of Wisdom:**
The Neldans recognized the importance of preserving knowledge and cultural heritage, just as the Guardians did. Their psychic abilities made them natural protectors of cosmic wisdom, and they played a vital role in safeguarding the heritage of various civilizations.

**7. Relations with the Guardians:**
The Neldans, through their deep connection with cosmic energies, forged a unique bond with the ancient Guardians created by the Xelthorians. They recognized the Guardians' potential and helped activate and reprogram them to serve as protectors of their own civilization.

**8. Peaceful Coexistence:**
The Neldans found a way to live peacefully alongside the Guardians, sharing knowledge and understanding, which allowed them to ensure the preservation of valuable cultural artifacts and cosmic wisdom.

**9. Legacy of Enlightenment:**
The Neldans became known across the universe as enlightened beings who embodied the pursuit of knowledge and the peaceful coexistence of diverse cultures. Their legacy continues to inspire those who encounter their unique civilization.

The Neldans, born from a disastrous experiment, transformed from a viral weapon into a race of genderless, psychic beings who dedicated their existence to the pursuit of wisdom, protection of knowledge, and the harmonious coexistence of life throughout the cosmos. Their history serves as a remarkable testament to transformation, enlightenment, and the potential for redemption.

===== Description =====

==== Geography and Climate ====

Everan is divided into two distinct hemispheres: the Wet Side and the Dry Side. The Wet Side is characterized by lush jungles, violet oceans, and a tropical climate, while the Dry Side is a vast expanse of endless black sand deserts, where the relentless sun beats down relentlessly.

=== The Wet Side ===

The Wet Side of Everan is a lush and verdant paradise, home to dense jungles teeming with exotic flora and fauna. Its most striking feature is the Violet Oceans, whose deep purple waters stretch to the horizon. These oceans are filled with unique and unknown species of aquatic life, their bioluminescent glow casting an otherworldly radiance.

=== The Dry Side ===

In stark contrast, the Dry Side of Everan is a harsh and unforgiving landscape of black sand deserts. The Blackened Mountains loom on the horizon, their jagged peaks piercing the clear, azure sky. These mountains are believed to be the source of the planet's mysterious black sand, which covers the desert in a vast, ebony sea.
=== Ancient Ruins ===

Scattered across Everan's surface are the haunting remnants of the Xelthorian civilization, once a great and technologically advanced empire. The ruins, partially consumed by the relentless sands of the desert, are a testament to the lost knowledge and glory of the past.

=== The Mother Tree ===

In the heart of the lush jungles on the Wet Side, the Mother Tree stands as a symbol of life and resilience. This colossal tree, with its massive roots and towering canopy, is said to hold the secrets of the planet's unique ecosystem and is revered by both the Neldan race and explorers seeking knowledge and sanctuary.

=== Silent Caves ===

Beneath the Blackened Mountains, the Silent Caves wind deep into the planet's core. These mysterious caverns are a labyrinth of tunnels and chambers, shrouded in perpetual darkness. Home to a population of hexapod wildlife and unknown fauna, the Silent Caves are a place of both fascination and fear.

=== The Everan Sanctuary===

The Neldans, a genderless psychic race with a deep connection to the cosmos, have established a sanctuary on the border between the Wet and Dry Sides. Their settlement is a place of peace and enlightenment, where they share their wisdom with those who seek to understand the universe's mysteries.
Everan's unique combination of vibrant life and desolate landscapes, along with its ancient ruins and the presence of the Neldans, makes it a planet of unparalleled wonder and intrigue. It continues to beckon explorers and researchers, eager to unravel its many mysteries and secrets.
    
==== Life Cycle ====
All cast life cycles are the same, that being said with a lifespan of 300 years it begins in the first six month of their life. Due to the reproductive capabilities of their people, one of the mates separates their inner form and attaches to the other mate.
At this point for the next 6 months. This sudo budding process begins copying over DNA from the other mate and shared memories from the mate, building a psionic connection between the two of them. 

After 6 months the organism falls off and crystallizes itself in the form of a stony egg as it gestates for another 6 months. At that point, the creature in this form hatches from the shell what comes out is a humanoid form covered in an almost transparent exoskeleton. In this form it's very susceptible to other predators and will instinctively look to the nearest adult for protection, If it can't sense its parents psionic signature nearby. 

Within the next 10 years, the body of the offspring would begin to come to its parent's full height as it grows into its exoskeleton. Once fully developed it would begin learning from its parents how to act within its caste from dedicated to job training.
After 100 years it has a coming-of-age test which is different depending on the caste. Once complete the Nalden is considered an adult and expected to fulfill its caste roll or rolls. When they begin getting to the end of their life cycle there are two options for it. Go on the walk of the ancients, 
where they would begin to pick up on the distant psionic signatures of their people and walk in that direction. Their exoskeleton during this time would no longer be molting as it overgrows and slowly throughout this walk entombing them as they pass on, their psionic signature by this point leaving their body and becoming one with the planet. 
The other option is to become a Bazerker, becoming a synthetic Nalden, the synthetic body capable of all the same features of the pure Naldens. The bazerkers by this point are meant to venture away from the planet in the hope to make a connection with people among the stars for their people. 

==== Gender ====
Gender roles are nearly non-existent both male and female genders exist but due to the body types of the Nalden being devoid of common distinguishing features most tell the difference between each other based on their psionic signature.

==== Naming ====
=== Neldan Naming Tradition: A Trifold Identity ===

The Neldan people follow a unique and deeply meaningful naming tradition that reflects the complexity of their caste system and the stages of life. This tradition divides a Neldan's name into three distinct parts: the Cast Name, the Parental Name, and the Elder Name. Each name holds a special significance and evolves as a Neldan progresses through their life journey.

=== Cast Name (CNA) ===
The Cast Name is the first part of a Neldan's name and is determined by their role and caste within the Neldan society. It represents their place in the intricate web of Neldan life and serves as a marker of their responsibilities and duties.

=== Parental Name (PNA) ===
The Parental Name is what a Neldan's parents use to address them. It reflects their familial identity and is often chosen to reflect the child's attributes, characteristics, or the hopes and dreams their parents have for them.

=== Elder Name (ENA) ===
The Elder Name is bestowed upon a Neldan when they reach the last 50 years of their lifespan, signifying a transition into the role of an elder. It is a name of honor and respect, symbolizing the accumulated wisdom and experiences of their long life.

=== The Abbreviated Trifold Name (ATN) ===
To simplify communication with those outside of the Neldan society, each Neldan's trifold name is often abbreviated into a three-letter name that encompasses elements of all three parts. These abbreviated trifold names serve as a bridge between Neldans and other civilizations.

=== Life's Journey and Identity ===
The Neldan naming tradition mirrors the journey of a Neldan, from their initial role in society (Cast Name) to their familial identity (Parental Name), and finally to their honored elder status (Elder Name). This trifold identity serves as a reflection of their multifaceted role within their unique culture.

The Neldan naming tradition is a testament to their complex and evolving society, where one's name is a reflection of their responsibilities, family, and the wisdom of age. These names serve as a powerful reminder of the depth of Neldan culture and their commitment to preserving the cosmic harmony of their world.




===== Politics =====
=== Neldan Political Powers: The Council of Cosmic Unity ===

The Neldan political structure is a harmonious and efficient system that reflects the intricate nature of their society. With a relatively small population, their governance remains streamlined while preserving the integrity of their unique caste system. At the heart of Neldan politics is the Council of Cosmic Unity, a body that brings together representatives from each caste to make important decisions that impact the Neldan people.

=== Castes and Subcastes ===
The Neldans are divided into three main castes: the Historians (Veda), the Artisans (Loomara), and the Spiritual Guides (Harmony). Each of these castes is further divided into two subcastes. For example, the Loomara are divided into the subcastes of Visual Artists and Poets.

=== Election of Elders ===
In a democratic process, each subcaste elects one elder to represent them on the Council of Cosmic Unity. These elections are held periodically, and the chosen elders serve as the voices of their subcastes in political decision-making.

=== The Council of Cosmic Unity ===
The Council of Cosmic Unity is the highest governing body in Neldan politics. It is comprised of the elected elders, one from each subcaste. This council convenes to discuss and decide on matters of importance to the Neldan people, from day-to-day issues to critical decisions that may impact the entire civilization.

=== Decision-Making ===
The Council of Cosmic Unity operates on principles of consensus and cosmic harmony. Elders from each subcaste bring their unique perspectives and insights to the table. The decisions they make are a reflection of the collective wisdom of the Neldan society and are guided by their reverence for the cosmos.

=== Navigating Cosmic Challenges ===

When facing challenges beyond their planet, the council decides whether to seek help or engage in diplomacy, all in the interest of preserving their unique way of life.

=== A Balanced System ===

While they have not developed FTL technology for interstellar travel, they have made significant advancements in specific areas that enhance their way of life and understanding of the universe.

=== Transportation and Infrastructure ===
On their planet, Neldans rely on heavy metal and gas-fueled vehicles for transportation. While these vehicles are not advanced in the traditional sense, they are designed to harmonize with the environment and minimize impact on the delicate desert ecosystem. Neldan engineers have mastered efficient fuel technologies that minimize resource consumption.

=== Military Forces ===
Neldan military forces are limited in terms of advanced technology. Their unique living ore body armor is a marvel of biological synthesis, allowing warriors to wear armor that adapts and grows with them. Guardians, their autonomous combat drones, are equipped with ballistic weapons and mortar batteries, relying on precise targeting rather than energy-based armaments.

=== ghosts ===
One of the most significant advancements is the Knowledge Guardians, who provide Neldans with knowledge and technology from beyond their world. These Guardians have developed biological synthetic bodies to continue serving the Neldan society after their physical forms expire. These bodies are both a tribute to cosmic harmony and a testament to their quest for wisdom.

=== Psyonic Magic-Infused Artifacts ===
The Neldans possess an innate connection to the cosmos, and this connection is harnessed through the use of psyonic magic. Psyonic magic is channeled through artifacts, which are infused with the energy of the universe. These artifacts allow Neldans to perform remarkable feats, from telepathy and telekinesis to the manipulation of the fundamental forces of the cosmos.

=== Harmonious Approach ===
Neldan technology and magic are not developed for the sake of advancement but rather as a means to harmonize with their environment and preserve their way of life. They value balance and cosmic interconnectedness, ensuring that their innovations are in alignment with these principles.

Neldan technology and magic are a reflection of their unique society, where preservation, cosmic harmony, and reverence for the universe take precedence over rapid technological progress. Their knowledge is nurtured and guided by the Knowledge Guardians, ensuring that their advancements remain in balance with the mysteries of the cosmos.





===== Economy =====
=== Neldan Economy: The Dance of Cosmic Barter ===

The Neldan economy is a reflection of their isolated and harmonious way of life, devoid of conventional currency. Instead, their society thrives on the art of resource exchange and barter, where the value of resources is measured not in wealth but in their cosmic significance and their role in preserving the Neldan way of life.

=== Resource-Centric Exchange ===
At the heart of the Neldan economy is the trade of essential resources. Neldans do not use traditional currency; they exchange resources that sustain their society, such as hexapod creatures, desert plants, cosmic herbs, minerals, and metals. These resources hold value due to their role in nourishment, crafting, and cosmic harmony.

=== Cosmic Significance ===
Neldans do not trade for personal gain but rather as an expression of cosmic balance and interconnectedness. Resources are viewed as contributions to the well-being of the entire society and the preservation of their unique way of life.

=== Barter and Equilibrium ===
The Neldan economy relies on a system of equitable exchange. Neldans understand the intrinsic value of resources and exchange them based on their contribution to the collective good. Barter is a sacred dance where each Neldan gives and receives with the intent of maintaining equilibrium and cosmic harmony.

=== Knowledge as Currency ===
Knowledge is another form of currency in Neldan society. Those who possess valuable wisdom or information, especially bestowed by the Knowledge Guardians, may offer their knowledge in exchange for essential resources. This further emphasizes the importance of cosmic wisdom.

=== Trade Festivals ===
Periodically, Neldans come together in trade festivals, where the exchange of resources takes place on a grand scale. These events are not only economic but also spiritual, as they celebrate the cosmic balance and the interconnectedness of their society.

=== Cosmic Diplomacy ===
When Neldans interact with external civilizations, they engage in a form of cosmic diplomacy. Resource exchange becomes a bridge to establishing peaceful relations, with an emphasis on sharing knowledge and learning from others, all while safeguarding the sanctity of their way of life.

The Neldan economy is a testament to their commitment to cosmic harmony, where resources are not mere commodities but integral components of their interconnected existence. The absence of currency signifies their dedication to preserving their unique culture, knowledge, and the mysteries of the cosmos.
