Toria

Toria, also known as the Elders, is a highly advanced species whose origins, intentions, and even appearance is shrouded in mystery. What is believe is that the Toria encouraged the development of other species and civilizations including the Opiders, Shuns (including Humans), and many others.

The Toria devised a Book of Prophecies which was a database of changes the Toria instilled within a Galaxy. It also detailed reccurring events. The database served as a reference for advanced civilizations that encounter unexplainable occurrences.

Milky Way Toria

There are rumors of a sixth Toria, and it is suspected that this Toria has the same function as the sixth Toria in Andromeda. However, no monuments or references are made to him other than in obscure legends.

Andromeda Toria
The Andromeda Toria share the same members except they possess a sixth member called Toria of Emotion. The significance of this Toria is unknown. And while Nethers are said to have a short temper, there is no evidence that suggests this is true. Th rest of the Andromeda population is also not known for any significant differences emotionally.
