*The view sweeps across the star-dusted expanse of space, focusing on the radiant skyline of Lunaris, heart of the Nyxaran Confederacy.

Statuesque avian figures, their feathers shimmering in the silver of Clan Vae or the deep crimson of Puris, hold themselves with an aloof, regal bearing. The scene captures a profound contrast: fragile, transient humanity facing the eight-foot-tall, owl-visaged aristocracy of a matriarchal empire that has shaped the cosmos for fifty thousand years.*
