Kay'Gie - - - (Kaa-guy)
"A Mystery's mystery"
- Eyumons who retained pre-Cataclysm technology and treat it like sorcery.
The Kay'Gie are virtually identical to the eyumon race externally, but they have made massive use of nanotechnology and genetic engineering. Their resemblance to the eyumon species is a choice, not a consequence of genetic selection.
Their technology permits them to appear to perform magic, seemingly breaking the laws of physics in blatant displays of power. They prefer to style themselves after magicians to disguise their methods from other species and encourage a sense of 'mystery' to the Universe.
This practice both dulls the inquisitive nature of other species and endears their presence and wishes into more technically primitive cultures without disrupting their development. The Kay'Gie often make contact with primitive cultures in an attempt to provide guidance and support for their philosophical development.
The species is almost exclusively a Guardian race. Rebel factions do exist, but very few are permitted to operate for long without answer. Kay'Gie lifespan is not as long as the Elan, despite their superior ability to recover from injury or illness. It is thought that the Kay'Gie choose to age, despite having access to technology similar to the Elan.
