The most advanced race of the Seven Worlds,
the Nord, live on the planet Narr. Incarnate
Nord are strikingly
beautiful, brilliant translucent beings of what we would mistakenly call
“semi-viscous gas” within a semi-permeable shell that resembles a clear veneer.
These wraithlike, round shouldered light forms that glide
along the surface of
the planet are not humanoid, but can grow instant arms, legs, or hands as they
need. The males stand eight feet tall and vary from medium to deep blue in
color. Females are about three inches shorter and pale violet to deep purple.
Elders, the disembodied, “passed beyond” Nord with their transparent bodies of
pure energy in the same general colors they had been when inhabiting a denser
body, are unmistakably noticeable.
The
single most distinguishing feature of both types of Nord is a five-tiered eye
where a face might otherwise be. A three inch wide, dark red eye, immediately
joined by a concentric bright red band that juts out another inch, a thin dark
blue ring around that, next an orange circle spreading out another inch from
that, and a bright yellow fifth glimmering halo eye to complete the multicolored
sphere. Five penetrating lights like a huge multicolored headlamp on a spectral
train. The eye, capable of infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray, radio waves and
particles, and microwave vision, enables the Nord to see in the dark, in
blinding light, to see heat, the interior of dense objects, and perceive both
particles and waves. To the Nord, thought forms are real, physical things.
Kumlar, the Nord language, literally means ‘thought speak,’ and it is far more
thought than sound.
Because they
accurately see thought forms, it is said that one cannot lie to the Nord, and
though that is more true than not, it is not precisely accurate. And if
anything, the Nord are precise, rational beings. Capable of ruling the galaxy,
they choose to rule themselves instead, to live quietly with their thoughts, to
manage, rather than dominate their planet, to treasure the terrestrial sheath of
what they consider a living, sentient being and tolerate and encourage all its life
forms and to remain galactic advisors.
Their
philosophy is encapsulated in the Jintu Kor, the Nine Suggestions to Rule
Oneself, the Way.
