Hanakan

Hanakan are small, feathered saurians with magical abilities. Their clever minds are adept at magic and medicine, and their claws make them agile climbers and runners. Their homeworld is Ssets'Akaana in The Vast.

Hanakans shun technology, instead utilizing magic for their societal and personal needs. A symbiosis with an adaptive bacteria helped these raptor-like beings expand across their dangerously volcanic home planet and throughout their star system. Their peaceful society places great value on personal enrichment, individual accomplishment, and peaceful settlement of disagreements through debate, proxy champions, and subterfuge. They carry mystical stones, called ssenavars, that hold symbolic religious significance and are sometimes magical in their own right. Supported by their innate magical abilities, their instinctive curiosity and culture of non-violent competition make them savvy spacefarers and shrewd sorcerers.
