The Predites are wonders from another worlds it is said. Some believe they caused the week of five suns. Others believe they arrived hear at that time, but their strange ships are fast, and very few have been known to have sunk. They are tall and fair, and speak in a strange mystical way that none have yet been able to decipher.
