“
… We must then, henceforth and forever, pledge our very existence to atone for the sins of Nai'ithar. To make peace with the planet and ask for the forgiveness of many millions of souls, wiped out of the face of earth, due to the greed and warmongery of our fell brothers.”
Ny'derien Kethral
The story of the planetarii is one of sacrifice and redemption, as they are the closest found in the planet to the Nai'ithar of old. The planetarii live by the high code of respect and honor that ruled the first Nai'ithar. 250 thousand years after the rise of the Nai'ithar in Ki'Afisal, the planetarii, under the Earth Nai'ithar Ny'derien Kethral returned to their ancestral home. Deserters they were called, traitors, betrayers, dissidents. Kethral, however, understood far too well that the actions of Nai'ithar had gone too far. The Planetarii established in the Peak of Ki'Afisal, and returned to the peaceful way of life that they had been used to for almost 150 thousand years. There they dwelt peacefully, watching the world collapse around their sacred grove, tempted to intervene, their doctrines prevented them from saving their fallen brethren who had brought this tragedy upon themselves. As Ovidius's Army marched against Yath'al during the War of Ly'mahs, the planetarii felt that finally, the corruption set free by the Nai'ithar was about to end, however they were wrong, for Thadre's betrayal had not been foreseen by the wise descendants of Ny'derien Kethral. Soon the Kethral's found themselves faced with the most powerful incarnation of corruption A'shekaz Thadre advanced against Ki'Afisal in his effort to extend his dominion over the primal forces of the elements, which had spawned the nai'ishar of old. A young prince of the Terra Tower, however, prepared a stand against Thadre, prince Von'yth Kethral traveled to the interior of Ki'Afisal summit, where he found the rift that so long ago had brought the first Nai'ithar from the elemental plains beyond the world. And there he held council with those Nai'ithar that had never set foot on the material plane and were untarnished, pure, and powerful. Von'yth staged a false defense of the summit and allowed Thadre to proceed into the depths of Ki'Afisal, where he was ambushed from both material and ethereal planes, and trapped by the same power he so much yearned. From that day to this, the role of the planetarii has remained the same, wardens, and guardians of the ancient darkness that is Thadre.

House Hydrous: Hydran Planetarii possess hair and eyes that rage from dark green to dark blue. They have small fish-like fins in their backs, wrists and ankles.
Planetarii Culture:
Planetarii are a high and noble culture. They have roamed the earth longer than all the other sons of Nai'ithar together. They are very fond of nature, art and individualism. They consider the creations of the Dah'kin as anti-natural and will not tolerate Necromancers, Liches, Vampires and Nosferats. Another very important fact is that 99.9% of planetarii arrange to die after 1000 years or so, since they grow weary of the world after such a long time, and when they die this way, they can return home to their ancestral home in the planes.
