Dha'Vennox

The Dha'Vennox
The chosen people of Alue, the Dha'Vennox were created to ensure balance and prosperity for all. Born from an isolated pack of tiny, multicolored dinosaurs, the Dha'Vennox emerged from Alue's embrace as towering, serpentine avatars of her will. Her ever-shifting nature is represented in the Dha'Vennox's variance in appearance - no two Dha'Vennox have the same coloration or pattern of scale, and each carries themself in a distinctive fashion. Blessed with great intelligence, patience, and longevity, the Dha'Vennox would be a force to be reckoned, were it not for their purity of purpose.

From their inception, the Dha'Vennox were fated to be mediators and councilors, their sole ambition the betterment of all mortalkind. They strive to push the other races onto paths of peace and civility, and stave off the destructive barbarism that almost consumed their elder cousins. To that end, every Dha'Vennox is a powerful empath, capable of taking the measure of any community so as to aid them to the best of its ability. When necessary, this empathy can also be projected outwards, in order to foster understanding between belligerent parties, or even in self defense should the need arise. As a result, Dha'Vennox enclaves adopt some of the mannerisms of the culture where they are located, such that they might almost seem a member of that culture but for their saurian build. The sole exception is their names; Dha'Vennox take no name as is commonly understood, instead identifying by a combination of coloration and empathing recognition. As a result, Dha'Vennox are often given a name by their hosts.

Both because of their proclivity for small communities and their protracted breeding cycle, the Dha'Vennox remain the least numerous of the Divine Races. This is ameliorated somewhat by their exceptional lifespans, which can stretch up to three centuries. This makes the Dha'Vennox dependent on their host culture, and also makes them an integral part of any nation where they are welcomed, as the wisest among them shephard generations of rulers through their lives, providing perspective and insight when required.
