Cultural Information: Malvanians

By Xanxa Symanah

Physical Appearance : Most Malvanians are tall and slender in build.   They all have pale skins and their eye colour tends to be pale blue, pale green or grey.   Like the Mondians, they have ridges above their eyebrows.   Their hair is either white or blue-black and is traditionally worn long, either loose or bound back in a tail, depending on personal preference.   Their facial features are very delicate and to a non-Malvanian, they do not appear to have much variation in their facial expressions.

It contains many books, scrolls and other historical artefacts.  It has become a place of research and contemplation.  Teachers take their students there to learn about ...

Igrod: Supreme Dvor

By Xanxa Symanah

Name: Igrod (AKA Supreme Dvor) Origin: Vega/Cyadrutin, Cyad Confederacy Igrod (named by Lord Tiberio Claudio Scalani) is the artificial intelligence entity which controls the entire Cyad Confederacy via the Command Grid. It was originally devised and created to facilitate the linkage of the Cyad Command Grid throughout all territories held by the Cyad Confederacy. This role allowed it to evolve and exceed its initial programming. Thus it became the Supreme Dvor.  Its expanded function is to work in symbiotic collaboration with every Menshan who occupies the post of Dvor. To ascertain their worthiness for the role, it studies them during their pre-induction period. When they take up the role officially, it offers them a challenge suited to their abilities and personalities. If they succeed in the challenge and agree to the symbiotic relationship, they become the Menshan avatar representing the office and role of the Dvor.  Igrod does not manifest in any solid form. It pr...
