The Eliyoh of Iesha (Dagudashaag 1712) are a technologically sophisticated Minor Non-Human Race with a Non-humanoid appearance.

Description (Specifications)

The Eliyoh are a bipedal race resembling large flightless birds. Their vision is centered in the far infrared. Eliyoh are ectothermic, and gonochoric (individuals are either male or female). They joined the Imperium in 247.

Diet

Eliyoh are omnivores. Notably, they are very fond of Amoa meat (itself a flightless avian, native to Elysium), but hate being near a live specimen, as it appears to remind them that they too could potentially be on the Human food chain.

Archaeological and cultural sophontology

The Eliyoh are noted in Imperial history as the reason why Imperial insignia have no official colors (although important colors are associated with such insignia by tradition). Since Eliyoh vision covers a different part of the spectrum to that of humans, the standard color of the Imperial sunburst is unimpressive to them. Upon their joining the Imperium it was decreed that there was to be no official color, to accommodate all member species.

Influence on Humans

Jesú Cordeiro, founder of the Church of Christ the Merchant (a Solomani offshoot religion) is suspected to have been influenced by Eliyoh philosophies. A number of religious scholars point to many similarities between his Church's teachings and the Eliyoh religion of Thaeloi'aei.

The Songs of Profit (958) by Lady Janii Ayesha Hoelst was modelled on Eliyoh legends. It is often considered her most important work, influencing many subsequent generations of writers and artists.

Language

The Eliyoh primary language is Amisal, known also as ‘trade song’. It is indeed a song-like language, where the same words mean different things according to the duration and tone in which they're expressed.

• Dagudashaag Sector
