Aether Intelligence ("Ae-I," "Incarnate")

Aether Intelligences, known as Incarnates among their Elven creators, are sentient beings created from huge amounts of base energy manipulated and shaped by magic. They are created in female/male pairs, with each devoted to a complementary function.

There have been 10 pairs created to date, but only four of these pairs still function. The others were stolen by the Light and integrated into its system, or destroyed in the war.

1. Corpa/VITALUS: Body/Soul

-The prototype, no special functions, just incredible intelligence and near-indestructability. Corpa is a living structure in which Vitalus is encased. Vitalus helped design his successors, becoming a major advisor to the Elven Seer.

3. Imaja/CALCUS: Creativity/Mathematics

-A technologically inclined pair who were desgined to apply the Supreme Mathematics to all areas of Elven society. They were responsible for the rise of technology in the civilization, but have been relegated to other functions since the war with the Light turned the Elves largely against machinery for a long period (inasmuch as such a correction was needed to restore "balance"). They have been allowed to contribute to the effort against the humans, and codesigned the Soul Net and Panopticon for this purpose.

5. Ethera/CHRONEI: Space/Time

-Responsible for the regulation of the Elven domain according to the Laws of Balance. They exist in the Elven palace itself and travel throughout a network.

10. Panoptica/OMNIPOTEI: Power/knowledge.

-A weapon designed and deployed in Ketrab to survey and control the people.
