Followers of Ao - Spacelings
A sliver of an alternate plane of existence, comprised of pure starlight the Spacelings are a loose grouping of beings known to wander the Cystal Spheres. Thought to originate from coalesced Phlogiston they are able to manipulate the fabric of reality itself, ableit to a lesser degree than a Deity. Here purely on happenstance.

This race is designed as a 'Hero' race, akin to other games which offer additional ways to play, this race comes with wild balancing changes to alter the way you must approach the game.
