# Eclerays ### Eclerays are a very old intelligent species, **probably the oldest in the galaxy**. Because [Oloma](/vyder-lore-book/planets/oloma.md) is a planet bathed in light, some plants evolved at an abnormal speed. They first acquired motor functions. Then, as evolution progressed, **they developed remarkable cognitive abilities**. This is how the first modern Eclerays appeared. According to the legend, their first Society was made up thanks to the two suns of [Oloma](/vyder-lore-book/planets/oloma.md), 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**. **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. **But how long will it last?** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
