High Entia

High Entia (, Hienter) are a species in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. They are a civilization with highly advanced technology (when compared to Homs or Nopon) that live mostly isolated on the upper Bionis. Their imperial capital is Alcamoth which floats above Eryth Sea. It is ruled by Emperor Sorean Antiqua. 
==Appearance==
High Entia look just like Homs aside from a few key differences. Most obviously, they have a pair of white-feathered birdlike wings on their heads. They also have elf-like pointed ears, and their hair is always a silvery grey, though it can range in brightness. Of the High Entia seen, they tend to wear silvery clothing with an accent colour, with some parts surrounded by feather-shaped translucent decorations.
Many High Entia have partial Homs ancestry. These individuals may be indistinguishable from pure-blooded High Entia, but often they have comparatively smaller wings and Homs traits such as rounded ears. They also have a dark ring through their iris, though as characters do not seem to be able to determine whether a person is half-blooded from this alone, it must not be an exclusive trait.
==Characteristics==
High Entia age much slower than Homs or Nopon; they appear to reach school age before 30, reach adulthood somewhere between 75-85, and can live beyond 300. The 88-year-old Melia is physically 16, meaning that one Homs year is somewhere between five or six High Entia years. As a result, individuals with Homs parentage tend to outlive that parent while still children.
While High Entia have wings, only very few of them can use them to fly. It is unclear whether this is a genetic or a trained ability, or what its limitations are.
Pure-blooded High Entia contain a genum that turns them into Telethia if they come in contact with high concentrations of ether.
==History==
The High Entia were created by Zanza together with the Giants when he granted intelligence to some Telethia. These two species were the first sentient lifeforms on Bionis, apart from Zanza himself.Monado Archives, page 250巨神ザンザ、自らの細胞の一部から有機生命体テレシアを創造。さらにテレシアの一部に知性を与え、巨人族やハイエンターをはじめとした原初生命を創造。 At first, the peoples of Bionis and the Machina of Mechonis live together in harmony until the Telethia attack Agniratha. The ancient battle between Bionis and Mechonis breaks out as a consequence and the High Entia seal Arglas' body, now possessed by Zanza, away on Prison Island. His soul is being sealed away in Ose Tower on Valak Mountain together with the Monado. The High Entia would pass on this story for millenia to come.Monado Archives, page 250ハイエンターの始祖、隙を突いてザンザを封印。肉体は監獄島に、魂はモナドと共にオセの塔に封じられた。一連の大戦争は太古の伝承としてハイエンターに受け継がれ、多くの碑文される。
The founders of the High Entia empire research the cause of their transformation into Telethia and develop a theory about crossing with Homs. The High Entia Tomb is built to preserve these records and they leave a system to confirm one's Homs ancestry rate.Monado Archives, page 250ハイエンターの皇祖、テレシアの因子を究明。ホムスとの交配理論を構築する。皇祖人の格を記録するための墓所を建造し、ホムスとの交差比率を確認するためのシステムなどを残す。 They develop a defence system for Alcamoth in anticipation to an eventual Mechonis attack.Monado Archives, page 250将来想定される機神の攻撃から皇都アカモートを守るため、ハイエンターが防衛システムを建造。
Around the time the Mechon start attacking the Bionis, the Bionite Order increases in influence. The 47th ruler of the High Entia Lumian disbands the order, but they continue to operate in secret for the rest of history.Monado Archives, page 250アカモート巨神教が広まり、その重鎮である異端審問官の権力が増大。ハイエンター47代皇主ルミオン、巨神教を解体。ただしこれ以降も歴史の影で暗躍。
After the Bionis awakened, a majority of the pure-blooded High Entia transformed into Telethia.

==As an enemy==
There are a few enemies among the High Entia. All of them are story-exclusive enemies with the exception of the quest-exclusive Resentful Gael'gar in Future Connected. As they are people, the Monado cannot hurt them.

==Trivia==
* In Future Redeemed, during the quest Snow Man's Treasure, the relationship between High Entia and Kevesi with headwings is highlighted by Hyzen's interaction with the entrance to La Luz Temple, with the temple's door featuring a High Entia emblem that only said race can open.
