Caretaker Worlds

A Caretaker World, in the Third Trilogy, is a world of humans under the protection and guidance of the Infinite Empire in the Andromeda Galaxy and countless others. They were not settled by the human diaspora after the events of Icarus, nor are they under the Second Dominion. They are generally called Taia’yon (not to be confused with Tara’yon) in the El’yon language. 
Humans on these Worlds are generally shielded from the wider Verse until they independently achieve consciousness of the Empyrean Verse as well as achieve spaceflight. However, they have lifelong normalized contact and apprenticeship to the El’yon, which accelerates their development from their genesis to within a few generations. They are considered celestial beings from birth, untouched by most of the effects of a broken universe. 
Many of these worlds are unnamed. From time to time, individual humans who have achieved this consciousness been allowed to leave prior to their world’s more general development.
