Vedalken

Striving for Perfection
Vedalken have an unusual view of progress. They believe that nothing is perfect, nor can it ever be perfect – and they rejoice in this. Every imperfection is a chance for improvement, and progress is an endless march toward a state of perfection that can never actually be reached. Thus, pointing out imperfection is hardly an insult—which leads vedalken to note flaws and problems with an enthusiasm that members of other races sometimes find exasperating.

Legacy of Research
The Vedalken race was created by an ancient archwizard whose name is lost to history. They were created to be consummate assistants and researchers, as the wizard ingrained within them a desire to learn and improve. The Vedalken know stories of this legendary spellweaver, but most do not seem to care about the nature of their origin. They would rather lose themselves in discovery and progress than ponder their past.
