The Four Races: Part 4, The Kry.

The Kry

Before there was Terinta, before this very universe existed. The gods created a world, the First World. What eventually arose from this planet was a race of beings that were powerful and great. Like the gods they had immortality, they understood much more than any mortal could, and they are nearly omniscient and omnipotent. They are the greatest of the four races, and the most influential. Their very presence can radiate with power and energy, and they are the watchers of all creation. They are the Kry!   

The Kry are by definition ultimate beings of power and wisdom. Few things are higher than the Kry. They are superior in everything, and know almost all things. Their beginnings are steeped in mystery. The Kry are the most mysterious race known, not just to Terinta but the whole of creation. Some worlds see them as dark evil beings, while others see the Kry as entities of light and joy. On Terinta the feelings can go either way, some see them as evil, while others see them as good. The werewolves, Seers, and other human cultures have built religions around them and see them as very important and sacred beings. The Kry are not gods, but they are very close, as such they understand things that humans on Terinta or any other world could never comprehend. Because of their great power the Kry are the watchers over all the universes. In a way they make sure that everything is going as planned and on schedule. The Kry are ageless, and immortal beings, and as such they know how to run things very smoothly. Despite their alleged role in the many universes out there, the Kry are known to be very clever, witty, master pranksters, and all around interesting beings. When around the Kry one could get the feeling that they are surrounded by mad geniuses who are really fun to be with. The race can appear as anything they choose, and have no gender as it is thought of to humans. Instead the thing that defines the Kry are their names. Each Kry name symbolizes something about their nature, in a way, their name is their gender.   
There is one thing that one must understand about the word Kry. It is never spelled Kries, or Kry’s, or Krys, all of these are seen as a denigration of the name Kry. The K is always capitalized and the name itself means something very important. Another interesting note about the Kry is the fact that they have gloved hands. This has led to some thinking that the Chosen race on Terinta are somehow Kry related, but the Kry themselves have said that it is simply a coincidence…
