== Overview ==

The '''Valdians''' are a revered precursor species in the '''[[Galaxa]]''', known for their extraordinary mastery of [[Teleka]]—the psionic energy that weaves through the universe. Their ancient civilization pioneered intergalactic travel and established the influential '''[[Order of Light]]'''. Though nearly extinct, the Valdians’ technological innovations and philosophical teachings continue to shape the Galaxa.

Valdians embody grace and strength, with distinct traits that set them apart:

== History ==

=== Masters of Teleka ===

The Valdians were the first to understand and wield [[Teleka]] to shape matter, bend minds, and traverse galaxies. Their early mastery over this force allowed them to dominate ancient space, ushering in eras of prosperity and conflict.

=== The Order of Light ===

Founded by the Valdians, the [[Order of Light]] began as a means to train Valdian youth in psionic arts but later evolved into a galactic institution welcoming all psionically gifted beings. This Order shaped the spiritual and political landscapes of countless civilizations.

=== The Imperial Civil War ===

 

* '''Philosophy of Balance:''' Teleka must be used in harmony with the universe. Valdians believe that unchecked power breeds chaos.

* '''Art and Architecture:''' Their designs feature flowing, psionically resonant structures, integrating elegance with functionality.

* '''Weapons and Technology:''' Crafted with precision and restraint, Valdian weapons reflect their disciplined philosophy—designed to incapacitate rather than destroy.

Although their empire has crumbled, Valdian teachings and technology endure:

* Their early innovations in Faster-Than-Light (FTL) travel laid the groundwork for intergalactic exploration.

* The [[Order of Light]] remains a symbol of psionic mastery and spiritual guidance.

* Many psionic philosophies trace their origins to Valdian doctrines.

== Notable Valdians ==

* '''High Ascendant Veltharion''': The last known leader of the [[Order of Light]].

* '''Syara Velum''': A psionic warrior renowned for her role in the Imperial Civil War.

* '''Eryndor Solis''': An innovator in psionic-infused FTL technology.

== Trivia ==

* Valdian ruins still radiate latent [[Teleka]] energy.

* Their bioluminescent markings are as unique as human fingerprints.

* Pureblood Valdians are naturally immune to psychic coercion.

* Their FTL drive designs were used for thousands of years before being surpassed.
