Aenaugh

The Aenaugh were an alien race of unknown origin that dominated the planet Aurelia during the Great Silence and nurtured the Aurelian Race into existence. 
The Aenaugh arrived at Aurelia in the form of a vast sparkling cloud that wrapped around the planet. The aliens communicated their intentions to the planet's modest and spiritual population through their subconscious. The Aenaugh communicated that all of their social, cultural, and religious beliefs were false and they must abandon them in order to achieve an enlightened state of being; which the Aenaugh promised to help them achieve. 
The Aenaugh chose from the planet's population a number of people who were given supernatural powers; telepathy, extreme strength and endurance, the ability to manipulate and dominate the thoughts of others. 
Then, the Aenaugh began what was called, "The Culling." Using the human that they had possessed, the Aenaugh went on a mass-killing spree; not only killing anyone deemed "unfit," but also destroying Aurelia's cities, burning crops in the fields, and ransacking the planet's temples, 
When the Aenaugh had sufficiently destroyed the planet, they reorganized the planet's society into four classes: The Swords who enforced the will of the Aenaugh; the Cups who served; the Pentacles who performed the menial work; and the Wands who ruled over the planet on behalf of the Aenaugh. 
The Aenaugh dominated Aurelia for a thousand of its years, during which, through culling of the population and selective breeding, they created a post-human race that was larger, stronger, and more intelligent than homo sapiens. 
Eventually, under the leadership of a human called Aurelius, the Aenaugh were driven away from the planet Aurelia.
