Wuan culture prioritizes collaboration, cooperation, and efficiency. While the Vilani used social engineering to achieve such goals, the Wuans turned to bioengineering. During the Long Night, the Wuans undertook an ambitious eugenics project, recreating themselves as a distinct Human variant. For each role in Wuan society there is an associated, highly specialized genotype expressly engineered to perform it. While there are dozens of roles and hundreds of variants, the apparent outward conformity of Wuan society can also be unnerving to visitors.
