Dimiturium-Those of the Kaun

Creature Compendium · by Herald Damia Banston

Many people name any energy that surrounds them simply, Arcana. But in fact, it is not that simple. There are billions of energies that surround us, and millions of different combinations, so then in fact, not all forces are mindless, and thus as simple as we consider Arcana. Some energies combine with each other and a life form appears. Dimiturium is one of those life forms. Usually young inhabitants of the life forms from Arcana come to Thera hidden, and you can not always knows for sure if your Faerie freind is a Faerie, or a Laguz from the Arcana planes. Yet Dimiturium did not want to fool the people of Thera, and he became known as he truly was, a Kaun. Those of the Arcana tend to call themselves much different from a Kaun, a Luguz, and so on, they call themselves a name much longer. A name that consists of every energy that is combined inside to complete them. Kaun, Luguz, and all the others are simply the name of the Rune they represent. A Kaun is much like Rune of Fire, while a Laguz is more like the Rune of Water. Those specific elements will flow through them, taking some and giving some much like the air we breath flows through us. The Arcana are like students here, they are here to learn, and to gather knowledge. In some ways and meanings, they are Immortal, never dying, only learning and living. They travel among many planes, living many lives just like everyone else does, although not many believe it. For they do not forget anything from previous lives, while all others do. They believe our souls only try to clear themselves in the end, while the Arcana's souls do not care. They are here for one thing, the need to gain experience and knowledge. Death itself means nothing to them, for they believe it doesn't exist and that death is just a door everyone must pass. Even if the body they inhabit is destroyed, a new one comes and the quest for knowledge continues. When their time comes, they will go back to their planes transformed. They will be without flesh, invisible, and free until their time to travel the many planes comes once again.
