Thoyanil

The Thoyanil Cluster is a isolationst nation on the edges of New Aeon Aggregate. It is home to the Thenaki. 
== History ==
Much mystery and legend surround the thenaki. Much of their history and beliefs are unknown to outsiders but some of their myths have spread to other cultures and are even believed by some. Their origin is unclear but the Thenaki believe they were created by gods they call the Keel. Some outsiders believe the Keel are related to the powerful transhumanist group known throughout New Aeon as the Luminaries. Many in Thoyanil believe that the Keel were once humans who discovered the secret to transcendence. After they became gods they created the Thenaki. The Keel lived for centuries in Thoyanil and led the civilization throughout. But the Keel haven’t been heard from in over a thousand years and their disappearance is a mystery even to the Thenaki.
Now, most Thenaki continue to live by the laws given to them by their benevolent creators and believe the Keel left them with the resources and knowledge they needed to survive in their absence. But more and more Thenaki feel that the keel were in fact wreckless and selfish gods that created the Thenaki only to lie to them and use them and, after all that, abandon them. Therefore any reverence for the Keel or adherence to their laws should be likewise abandoned.
== Culture ==
The structure of the Thoyanil civilization is a theocracy. Leadership venerate the Keel and continue to enforce the organizational structure dictated by them centuries ago. This is why there is only minimal interaction and trade with the outside civilizations. New laws or behaviors are only passed if they are approved of by the AI Kezalstowe. Kezalstowe is a very advanced AI that the Keel created to run and maintain the space stations. This AI controls the various advanced technology and systems that the Thenaki don't understand. It was not intended to be a leader or to make decisions about the people themselves but this is the Thenaki's only connection to their gods. When they are confused about important dilemmas they seek counsel from this AI. It is intelligent and knows many things about the Keel that no one knows but it was never authorized to give them that info. So it generally can only give clarifications on instructions they already know.
Their cylinders are filled with automated systems and technology that know one understands. Food is produced in abundance in strange-field like factories. Life support systems are never touched by anyone. Many needs are met by simply talking to a wall interface. No moving parts are visible. Most architecture is simple monolithic obsidian structures.
== Vicarials ==
Top leadership who are the only ones allowed to speak with the proxy Kezalstowe
== Selaquim ==
Followers of Selahk. Selahk and his followers would like things to change. They no longer want to venerate the gods that abandoned them and see no reason for the isolationism. The abundant technology and food that their homes produce could be used to trade with the rest of the aggregate. in the last 100 years have been studying these technologies and are beginning to learn how some things work.
