Shedai: Difference between revisions

*The '''Shedai Maker''' was one of the most powerful and influential of the Shedai Serrataal. In 2266, after thousands of years of hibernation, the Maker, and other Shedai, were awakened by the Shedai Wanderer. She returned to the First World and immediately called a census, discovering that the Apostate was not among the returned Serrataal. She commanded his return to join the Shedai Colloquium.

*The '''Shedai Sage''' held the combined wisdom and the living memory of the Shedai. It was his purpose to maintain a living history of his species and civilization. He was the second of the Serrataal to return to the First World after being awoken by the Shedai Wanderer in 2266. He sided with the Shedai Maker and the Wanderer against the Shedai Apostate, but was no match for him. The Sage fled the First World through a Conduit when the Apostate removed their world's star system from the universe.  

*The '''Shedai Avenger''' was one of the Serrataal Shedai awakened by the Shedai Wanderer in 2266. She had slumbered for aeons within the core of a planet, when roused by the Wanderer's call from the First Conduit. The Avenger transformed herself into a blade of excited particles to cut through the core, mantle and crust to the planet's surface. She erupted as smoke from the planet, which was devastated by the tectonic plate shifts and plumes of magma caused by her wake. She ignored the cries of despair and pleas of mercy from the billions of Telinaruul who took her for a deity of their apocalypse. She tore open a mountain to reveal a Conduit which transported her home to the Shedai First World where she allied herself with the Wanderer and the Shedai Maker.  

*The '''Shedai Herald''' was one of the Serrataal Shedai awakened by the Shedai Wanderer in 2266. He had slumbered for aeons under the ocean of a class O planet, dormant for so long that a coral reef had grown around and atop him. When roused by the Wanderer's call from the First Conduit, the Herald transformed from a solid to a liquid state and travelled through the ocean to that planet's Conduit where he was transported home to the Shedai First World. He was the first to return and added his voice to the Wanderer's to call forth the other Shedai.  

*The '''Progenitor''' was the First Shedai Serrataal, more powerful and revered than all the others. Shedai legends told that the Progenitor was captured by an ancient enemy, and it was this defeat that ultimately led to the Shedai retreating from the interstellar stage.

*The '''Apostate''' was a male Shedai Serrataal. Aeons ago, the Apostate allied himself with the Tkon Empire to eradicate the Serrataal, a group of Shedai known as The Enumerated Ones led by the Maker. He provided the Tkon with a weapon that could defeat the Shedai, but did not tell them how to activate it because they refused to show mercy to himself and his brethren. The Maker, and her faithful, then ambushed the Tkon's capital system and detonated its star which ended the Tkon threat.  

*The Wanderer was a female Shedai Serrataal. In 2265 on the planet Erilon, the Wanderer was awakened from an aeons-long slumber by a Starfleet landing party from the USS Endeavour. She attacked the ship and crew, killing most of the landing party, including Captain Zhao Sheng, with a Shedai Sentinel. She then travelled to planet Palgrenax via a Conduit and attacked the Klingon colony there, eventually destroying the planet.
