The Weppol
The Weppol are an exceptionally intelligent and technologically oriented species. Within the interspecies society of Xinesh, they are known for their brilliant scientists, doctors, engineers and inventors. Their intellect, analytical precision and creative problem-solving are among the highest observed across all intelligent species. According to their own origin story, the Weppol were created by an entity they refer to as The Ruler. This figure is said to reign over a distant planet known for evolution and creation called The Web — a location that, despite the advanced magic and technology on Xinesh, is extremely difficult to reach. Even multigenerational voyages offer no guarantee of success. When The Ruler is said to have developed a new, improved species, the Weppol were — according to their history — considered obsolete. What followed was a period of exile and persecution. Forced to flee, the Weppol spread across multiple systems until they eventually found refuge on Xinesh. On Xinesh, the Weppol have built a valuable alliance with the Xanu. Their technological expertise forms an essential pillar within research, medical innovation and infrastructure development. Yet they regularly experience subtle — and sometimes open — discrimination based on their unusual appearance and their origin as a "created" species. Notably, despite their exile, many Weppol still regard The Ruler as their creator and divine origin. This form of devotion is less based on loyalty and more on existential acknowledgment: without The Ruler, they would not exist. Within Weppol society, however, there are internal currents that question this worship. The combination of intellectual superiority, technological influence and a theologically charged origin story makes the Weppol one of the most intriguing and ideologically complex species within the current power structure of Xinesh.
