Manraloth

The Manraloth were an ancient species that evolved during the early years of the galaxy.

History
After seeing so many of their sister civilizations evolve into a non-corporeal state, the Manraloth became the default guardians of the younger races as they had no desire to leave their previous existence behind them. This also made them in effect the eldest corporeal species in the galaxy with their departing friends causing great sorrow among the race which they attempted to fill with new friendships among the developing species.

However, the Manraloth cared too much for their departed friends and decided on a bold project of linking the non-corporeal realm with the corporeal plane. Engaging in various projects around the galaxy, the Manraloth activated this device which was linked the minds of most of the intelligent species to that of the non-corporeal dimension. They were ultimately unaware of the power of the act and became overwhelmed by the action. The bodies of various races simply burned up as many were forcibly evolved into this state of being, whle those who were not prepared simply died as a result.

Overview
The species possess telepathic traits but these are only centred around the communication and languages centres of the brain which made the Manraloth living communicators.

Nanotechnology was deeply integrated into the Manraloth allowing them to heal as well as evolve in different manners. They were also biologically immortal and were thus unaffected by the ravages of time.
