Vy
The Vy, like the Ali are corrupted Ilcian's, twisted and shaped by Amadius's influence. Because of the Ilcian's closeness with nature when Amadius's twisted their forms they adopted a more nature based change than the Thaxians did. Their connection to Nature also allowed them to maintain a lot of their mind. Though they worked with Amadius when the war was over and Iria forgot they quickly changed becoming guardians of nature.
Becuase they don't tend to leave their home all that much they can be a little ignorant to the way the world works, and this makes them gullible and easy to manipulate. They can seem somewhat emotionally 'dead' to other races accepting a lot of things as just being 'the way of nature'. They are quick to accept the way of the world and move on from catastrophic events. They find it hard to change their views on things making them a stubborn race.
The Vy worship nature above all else. Despite their dislike for anything that doesn't follow the flow of life and death their have immense adoration for Haster. They believe that their home is 'within Haster', beliving that Halesia, the forest surrounding their home, is the very body of Haster.

Description
The Vy are plant-like fey creatures. The Vy have rough bark-like skin. Within each Vy lies nature's spirit and all can manifest this spirit in different aspects. Each aspect triggers a transformation. A Vy in the aspect of the ancients has eyes of white. When a Vy is in the aspect of the destroyer, jagged spurs break through the skin and their eyes darken to black. The hunter's aspect camouflages a Vy's body with green and brown patterns, while the eyes take on an emerald color. When they aren't channeling the spirit inside them their eyes return to more 'normal' browns and greens. As Vy age, their bodies move through the seasons. Young Vy are like trees in spring, filled with life and vigor. Their bodies are a green hue. In the Summer phase, a widen's body is brown or tan. Vy in the autumn phase undergo a profound change, their skin darkening. Finally, the winter phase heralds the end of a Vy's life, as the body grows thinner.Personality
On the whole the Vy are a very calm and peaceful race. They are happiest in nature and rarely feel comfortable in large cities. They tend to respect others as long as they aren't considered something that goes against the natural balance of the world. Because of this view the Vy have a rather intese hatred of the undead. They are a protective race, of their home, their people, and anyone they see as weaker than themselves. While they are generally a secretive race, hiding away in the trees, they will often show themselves to help someone who seems to need it.Becuase they don't tend to leave their home all that much they can be a little ignorant to the way the world works, and this makes them gullible and easy to manipulate.

Society
To the Vy they are all a family. Everyone has their place in the family, and they all respect one another and nature. For the Vy, nature, the forest, the earth is all alive, all connected and they are a part of that. They live in a way that ensure's they make as little impact on the natural environment around them. They are a society of hunters and gatherers, respect for nature, and understanding the flow of life and death. Anything that messes with this flow is shunned or completely discounted by the Vy.Religion
