Daesan

Technology is never a burden

And there in the back of their army stood the giant war machines of the Daesan. I got to tell you though, for people who don't do war, they sure make a lot of weapons.

— Hillk Proudfoot, Commander of the Royal Guard

A proper Daesan laboratory is like a descend in madness. You can die just from inhaling the air or touching the table. My advice is to avoid going in there, son. But if you want to die, I guess there are worse ways than being an experiment.

— Jenno Sikser, Adventurer

A good gift for any Daesan is something that was created from scratch, even a mechanical flower is better than an actual flower for them

Common Etiquette Rules

Daesan are ignorant of other cultures and their social skills are lacking severely. Only those that live and work outside of Seians can faction in a normal way.

Common Dress Code

The Daesan dress freely within their kingdom. However to protect themselves, when visiting other kingdoms where their safety might be compromised due to the Bijou, the gem in their forehead, they cover their heads with helmets or a piece of cloth.

Culture and Cultural Heritage

Almost all of the Daesan, live in the kingdom of Seians. The few Daesan that wander outside in the world do so due to their desire to see more of the world and work mostly as blacksmiths and merchants in foreign kingdoms or technological advisors to various nobles and organizations. In Graditel, there is no king, instead the kingdom is ruled by the Council of Technology which elects a citizen of prominence every five years to represent them in the biannual Kon’Sey. There are six boroughs, each ruled by a member of the Council and each deals with a specific aspect of Technology. These are:

• The War Borough
• The Automation Borough
• The Elemental Borough
• The Alchemical Borough
• The Mineral Borough
• The Magical Borough

History

The Daesan were always the most technological advanced race in both the Old and the New World. This is the main reason for their survival. Other races seek out their creations, for entertainment, war or other uses. The most notable creation of the Daesan, is of course the Automatons, now known as Valsanir. While they are highly technologically advanced they are unable to channel magic. For that reason they rely on mages to augment their devices when needed to do so.
