The Tenuans

## Description

The Tenuans are tall, lithe creatures of perfect symmetry. They have twin mouths, one inside the other. Their skin is pale blue and they have hair softer than silk.

They live on a planet that is being slowly destroyed by accelerated entropy of their world. This entropy is caused by a minuscule shard of Chaos itself.

Large amounts of energy constantly radiate from the Tenuans, even when they travel to other worlds, the rules of their own realm seemingly being transported alongside them.

The Tenuans wear loose clothing that floats in the low gravity of their cold, slowly disintegrating homeworld. They often surgically alter themselves into forms they consider more interesting.

## Abilities

World Sight - The Tenuans can see both the world they currently reside in, as well as corresponding locations in different worlds with their bare eyes.

World Shift - The great Tchar has found a way to unlock the second form of their dimensional ability. It allows them to at any point shift from one world to another as easily as taking a step. They can also take other objects with them, the difficulty and energy required to do so depends on the temperature of the object being transported.

## Personality

Traumatized by War for Eternity the Tenuans avoid the species of all other worlds. To those they do actually come into contact with, they seem rather aloof, utterly concentrated on creating increasingly complex monuments and on seeking ways to slow or stop entropy.

## Lifecycle

The lifecycle of the Tenuans is rather long with some being known to have lived for over 2 standard centuries. They have few progenies, and those that they do have, mature for long periods of time, a Tenuan only being considered an adult when he or she reaches 40 years of age. This makes it hard for them to recover from large blows to their population, be they caused by war or natural disaster.

## Diet

The Tenuans are omnivores with a similar diet to humans. They are rather gluttonous and fasting is seen as one of the main ways of atonement in their society.

Some scholars have put forward the theory that this is because the tenuans are related to Chaos in some way. These scholars are no longer scholars.

## Societies

The Tenuans follow a system of oligarchical theocracy. The United Chapters of Tenue are led by a council of the religious leaders of the various chapters into which the race is divided.

The Tenuans has been greatly reduced in number by the War for Eternity. Due to their small population murder, or any unnecessary death is considered to be utterly abhorrent.

The Tuenuan architecture is permeated by symbols of death as a sign of respect for those fallen in the war in heaven. Most structures are extremely complex which is a symbol of their fight against the silent void to which entropy leads.

## The Eaters of Time

In an effort to combat the accelerated entropy of their world, a The Tenuan Chapter called Demetria, which focuses on biological science, has created beings named Chronobites. These creatures can devour time, thus preventing all forms of erosion, from simple wind to radiation.

## Homelands

The Tenue originate from a slowly hollowing planet. As it is eroding, its core is looing energy, and so the Tenue homeworld has already cooled so much that life upon it would be impossible without advanced technology.
