They also believe that the creator of this order entrusted it's care to them and they are both it's chosen people and it's protectors.

Selevian culture is highly dedicated to intellectual pursuits and they consider themselves above most other species culturally and scientifically. While Selevian culture is rich it is now constantly being undermined by the post-Federation government and the once proud and graceful Selevian people are on a slow ship to oblivion. | |||
Music seems to be one of the most important aspects of their artistic expression. Huge musical numbers with lots of different types of musical instruments all working together to create dramatic, yet inspiring songs are the norm.
