	species_bio="The fossil records indicate that the prehistoric Nesh possessed a third arm in addition to their still-existing third leg, but presumably that limb offered no advantages to the newly tool-using species, as today the only sign of it is a small nub in the center of the chest. Thin, tall, and not especially strong, the Nesh are subjectively described as either exceedingly graceful or exceedingly awkward. The Nesh are a species who are thoroughly devoted to the political, and have consequently come to enjoy a system of high engagement and rigorous decision making at every level. Arranged into groupings called Concords, which can be as small as a family and as large as the entire society, the Nesh both adore and take seriously the task of building, maintaining, and improving upon society. They are also deeply concerned with individual rights, while the freeform nature of Concords allows fairly easy absorption of other peoples, provided they are willing to adopt the basic principles of Nesh organization."

A full quarter of Pirliam died in the Many Years of Troubles that followed, with plague, war, a volcanic winter, and eventually total societal collapse in most regions. In one area, a theocratically-backed monarchy asserted itself. When the natural abatement of the disasters was taken as a sign that the 'old ways' were the correct ones, any hope of returning to progress was lost, and the monarchy easily brought its authority to the whole world. Now a religious, slave-holding, feudal society, the Vanorrean Fiefdoms have nonetheless progressed technologically, and are poised to display the rightness of their hierarchy to the galaxy at large."
