No Human knows precisely when the High Council of Harmony first came into
existence. At some point, the many city-states on the Sarran homeworld
of Ecirron formed a planetary Council in which every city-state
was represented by a single Prelate, the word Humanity uses for the
Sarran political-religious leaders. The Sarran all believe unflinchingly
in their religion and in the combination, indeed the inseparability, of
Church and State as a single functioning unit. Sarran religious leaders
are Sarran governmental leaders and vice-versa. They see no difference
between the two. As the Sarran domain spread to other planets and
eventually other stars, Prelatures increased in size until there was one
for each planet, with the Prelate of Ecirron being the most respected
and most powerful. When the Sarran and Achmer first discovered one
another, they immediately began communications to enter into an
alliance against their common enemy, the Helexith Coalition. The Sarran proposed that all planets under either species be
united in the existing Council, with each system instead of each planet
having a single representative. The Achmer, a coldly logical and
unreligious people, agreed to these terms surprisingly quickly and
apparently with no care that Sarran language, terminology, and symbology
dominated in the alliance. Since then the two species have coexisted in
seemingly almost perfect peace. Recently, a few Human refugees have
entered Sarran space and been allowed to settle on a planet in the
Sarran domain. These Humans are now considered to be part of the
alliance, though they are not yet represented in the Council. The Sarran
and Achmer are wary of their presence, as Humans have proven time and
time again that they are chaotic creatures who may not even fully
understand the meaning of their own word for the Council: "Harmony." |
- Chaotic. Believe in
allowing a wide range of personal freedoms. Allow people to go their own
way and do their own thing, so long as they do not harm others.
- Peaceful. Do not believe in fighting as the best way to solve
problems and only use war as a last resort.
- Defensive. Usually keep entirely to themselves and will only
engage an enemy if directly provoked and threatened.
- Honorable. Only engage in battle with foes who can defend
themselves, do not crush the weak for pointless pleasure. |
Knights of the Temple ("Templar")
Description: Some Sarran families traditionally
give one of their children to the Temple to be raised there and serve it
all their lives. The females usually become priestesses, while the males
usually become Templar (although there are exceptions in many cases if
the individual shows more aptitude in the other area). Templar are
trained in a multitude of combat styles and weapons, especially
swordsmanship, and are often very skilled with their psychic abilities
as well.
There are no Achmer super-soldiers.
Numbers: Unknown. Possibly thousands.
