# Eclerays

### Eclerays are a very old intelligent species, **probably the oldest in the galaxy**. 

Because [<mark style="color:red;">Oloma</mark>](https://lore.vyder.gg/vyder-lore-book/planets/oloma) is a planet bathed in light, some plants evolved at an abnormal speed. They first acquired motor functions.&#x20;

Then, as evolution progressed, **they developed remarkable cognitive abilities**. This is how the first modern Eclerays appeared.&#x20;

According to the legend, their first Society was made up thanks to the two suns of [<mark style="color:red;">Oloma</mark>](https://lore.vyder.gg/vyder-lore-book/planets/oloma), Kanza & Yta. Today, most Eclerays **worship these stars as gods**.

### Physiology

The main and defining aspect of their physiology is that **they use photosynthesis to grow** and “feed”. \
Therefore, keeping an Ecleray locked in without any source of light **could lead to their death**.&#x20;

**At around 200 years of age**, when Eclerays reach the end of their life, they return to the earth. Their seed, called Mwahindoe, sprouts and gives birth to a new Ecleray.

The new Ecleray retains bits and pieces of the memory of their former host, while still being a whole new person.

Without the need to hunt and feed, the ancient Eclerays **led their society into a state of utopia**, deeply engraining the **equilibrium with nature**, **all forms of art** and **spirituality into the Ecleray culture**.

### Clothing

As far as clothing goes, they usually **enjoy wearing jewels** and light transparent or **simply very revealing garbs of clothes**, so as to ease their photosynthesis.

Today, they peacefully live in a utopia.&#x20;

**But how long will it last?**
