Dremirian

**Dremirians** were a sentient species native to the planet Dremirus, the crystalline capital planet of the Dreamer Worlds, which was their vast domain in the Cassiopeia Galaxy. They were well recognized for their crystal bodies and lustrous hair. The Dremirians had a long, complicated history with the Praeliorians.

Dremirians were similar to humans in their basic physical makeup, sharing bipedality and humanoid physiology, but differed from humans in a number of ways. For one, the Dremirians were inorganic beings made entirely out of crystal. They could be born in an array of different colors, some more vibrant than others. The Dremirians were famous for their lustrous hair, capable of shining and reflecting light even in the darkest places in the galaxy.

Other than the crystal layer that made up a Dremirian's skin, the Dremirians were completely fueled by liquid magic. While comparisons have been made between the liquid magic blood of the Aetherians and the magic that flows through the Dremirians, it had been noted that they were not the same. The liquid magic that flows within the bodies of Dremirians came from the leftover liquid material that spawned from a Dremirian's birth.

Because of their inorganic nature, the Dremirians could not reproduce with humans and other sentient humanoid species. This inorganic quality allowed the Dremirians to live without the need to breathe oxygen like many other humanoid sentients.

The Dremirians did not feel pain, and could be put back together with relative ease and without pain if broken apart. although losing enough of their inner liquid magic causes them to go into unconscious state.

### Birth

Dremirians were born from super-heated molten crystal wells. The molten crystal from these wells possessed incredible magical properties that allowed for Dremirians to be born and for Dremirians to be extremely strong conductors for magic. These molten crystal wells were built collectively in places with an abundance of minerals, often precious minerals. Such locations where crystal wells were built together were called **Cradles**.

Dremirians came from these crystal wells as fully-grown adults and never aged, due to their inorganic nature. Dremirians who spawned from the same crystal well considered themselves siblings. The more times a Dremirian was born from a crystal well, the less magic was contained inside of the well. This led to a higher chance of a Dremirian being born from the well with less lustrous physical properties than their older siblings.

The molten crystal wells often took decades or even centuries to begin spawning Dremirians. The crystallized parts of a Dremirian, along with the liquid magic that flowed through them, were necessary to create these molten crystal wells. Because of this, when Dremirians died, they were given the option to become ingredients for future crystal wells, in order to help give rise to the next generation of Dremirians. The presence of more Dremirian crystals and liquid magic within a molten crystal well often sped up the reproduction process.

## Society and Culture

### Overview

The Dremirians were often seen as champions of the arts, with creative feats in traditional artwork, music, literature, and theatre. They often lived simple lives, having no need to worry about sustenance or sleep. They were known to naturally embrace creative mindsets, although it was up to the individual on whether or not they wished to pursue this creativity.

The Dremirians often refrained from intervening with affairs that did not concern them, believing they had their own larger problems to take care of, or would rather devote resources to their own people instead of outside conflicts. A big example of this is when the Dremirian Alliance abstained from taking a side in the Artifice Wars. When the Praeliorians actively hunted the Dremirians to turn them into crystalline dust, the Dremirians focused all of their attention on magical defenses. This contributed to the mastery of magic shared among many Dremirians, at least those born from the planet Dremirus.

Dremirian names did not call for surnames, although some Dremirians chose to adapt surnames if they so wished. Such a practice was not common for Dremirians native to the Dreamer Worlds. Dremirian names often made references to nature or celestial entities and concepts, with names like Snow and Moon. Many Dremirian names had a melodic sound which made them widely recognizable to the denizens of the galaxy, with names like Annesidora and Sirius.

### Religion and Spirituality

The Dremirians of antiquity fervently believed in the Overseer. The original creation myth of the Dremirians revolved around the Overseer himself.

The origin story of the Dremirians declared how the world began as nothing but dead, jagged crystal. The Overseer was the only inhabitant of this world, born out of dead crystal and having carried around a glass of pure magic wherever he went. It was believed the Overseer was the most luminous and lustrous being there was. One day, he spilled his glass of magic onto the floor of crystal, creating the first molten crystal well believed to be the birthplace of the first Dremirians. He threw the rest of his glass into the sky, creating the other worlds in the cosmos. According to the story, this was how the Dremirians came to be.

Such beliefs had been extensively phased out by the time of the Era of Diamond Dust, as Dremirians began to take on more spiritual beliefs on the world around them instead of monotheism. The Overseer origin story became a mere myth and legend as opposed to a concretely-held religious belief. Many Dremirians shared a common belief where, because they did not age and were essentially immortal, they had a responsibility to fulfill for the universe to ensure its safety, prosperity, and peace. With this established, many Dremirians in later history held spiritual beliefs connecting them more easily to the magical arts.

The Dremirians had a concept of reincarnation. They believed their crystal bodies would slowly return to the larger cosmos and form new life elsewhere, after death. When a Dremirian died, whether it be through being crushed or sliced apart, it was customary for the remains of the Dremirian to be fed back into the molten crystal wells that birthed Dremirians. This was to ensure a continuous cycle of life and death, as more Dremirian crystal material being present within a crystal well quickened the birth of Dremirians from said well.
