Seralys

The Seralys are a race originally from the planet Seradyr which was taken from our dimension by the Duranesh, corrupted by their evil usage of the Elements and is currently locked just as they are within their home dimension but which now makes it's home in another dimension primarily of their own making. More recently, however, they have cut off contact with other peoples all but completely, after the War on Heaven by the Valyrakyr prompted them to close the Heavenly Gates, which had previously allowed races, including their own, to easily go between their dimension and others, through use of corresponding gates in other dimensions. The Seralys can still travel alone between dimensions with relative ease, and make sure the gates in other dimensions are protected in case they were ever to be reopened, however as the gates are closed, travelling en masse is currently all but impossible for them, and they have therefore been reduced from the defenders of freedom and justice in the universe to wise men and women which occasionally show up to provide advice and counsel. Originally from the same dimension as Humans, the Seralys moved to the dimension which was at the time known only as one of the Twelve Voids. Using their elemental powers, they transformed this dimension into the place some now refer to as Heaven due to it's beauty, tranquility, harmony and apparent location above clouds, floating there with no apparent logic or reason keeping it so. The Seralys gave thirty-six of the Arkasians limited, hereditary powers over the elements, with one element going to each person, as well as having a large influence upon their language, government and religious beliefs. One result of this has been that, due to mistranslation, both the Seralys and Arkasian Angiris Councils are believed to be translated as "Archangel's Council", whereas the true meaning is that the Seralys Council is the "Angelic Council" and the Arkasian Council is the "Demi-Angelic Council". The Seralys have also given such limited powers to other races, some of which have been withdrawn, others increased, but in all cases, the Seralys believed the races in question to be in grave enough danger to intervene as such. In the case of the Arkasians, this danger manifested in the Valyrakyr, whom had identified Terra, the home world of Humanity, as mineral-rich and easily terraformable, and were intending to exterminate all life on the planet and terraform it in order to make it both an outpost of their empire and a large source of materials to fuel their wars.
