Kraelor Wisp Culture, Technology, and Terms

Wisps are energy life-forms composed of Ka and spiritual essenses of esoteric nature. Supernatural beings, the Wisp race only exists in realms and on worlds with strong aether. Typically ancient and wise, they did not originate from the Tanathian homeworld, but rather found by the Tanathians during their cross-reality explorations.

The Kraelor are pacifists, abhoring violence. This was not always so. In their history they were once the most destructive species in their realm, eliminating all other life as they found it. This was due to a misunderstanding of sorts, and a policy of revenge that echoed down through the ages of their dominion for eons. It has only been in their recent history that they have encountered greater life than themselves, and thus learned a different way.

Kraelor Wisp Weaponry
While they no longer use such weapons, they still exist in the deep places of the Wisp archives.

The Destroyer
Simple in name, but complex in operation, the destroyer was once one of the ultimate weapons of the Kraelor. When unleashed on a world, they appear as massive misty lights the size of small moons, hundreds of miles in diameter. These etherial orbs descend upon the target world without interacting with its mass, passing through its crust and deep into its mantle. There they take form, using the energy of the worlds heat to construct an engine of death. Powered by the thermal conversion, the bound magma rises orb-like from beneath the crust, repelled by the world's gravity well. When in use, the Kraelor would deploy dozens of them at once, ripping a world to pieces and turning it inside-out as the bubbles rose through the crust and dispersed into space. Once in orbit, the energy faded with the heat, and gravitational interactions returned to normal, dropping the massive orbs back down. What remained of a world after the destroyer was not inhabitable - a seething ball of fire where a living planet had once been.
