As I said, the Jarwa, Dioretaar, loved the colour blue, so he chose a blue planet orbiting a blue sun to match his great blue crown of flames. As you might know, a blue sun is much, much hotter than a yellow one like yours, and though the planet Zul was richer in Ozone than Teyra at its peak, it would not be 100% effective, so the life that he raised was especially hardy and resistant. 

He was not inspired by the humans on Teyra, aside from their intellect and language, and he did not want to imitate the likeness of Da Suun, who was Da Vaada. No, he took a liking to the beasts that walked alongside man and crafted his own, and from them he raised two sapients. We who know call them the Levca and Krozna.

Lutoro had felt sadness for the littlest planet in your solar system, so cold and far away from your Sun. She called it Mortó (Baby) and used her veil to warm it, taking it away when it needed to cool, creating her own Alta and Odic that the life on her world would learn to live by.

She had actually created two sapient races, not one.

Ihri's dominant species are what we who know call the Ingyanites (Like Fire), though they have their own names for themselves in their own languages. 

The first of them were a beautiful people with skin like marble, blessed with absolute immunity to the planet's scorching heat, bathing and drinking the boiling water, playing in the molten rock as one would play in the mud. Faatura walked along the planet's surface and taught them how to cultivate the land, bringing about fruit and plant life that would melt your insides.

34. The Jarwa

I have spoken about Jarwa, Heavenly Hosts who had sought Da Vaada's favour and blessing for the worlds he had given them, by giving these worlds back to him, so that their peoples could have a place in his kingdom. The few who succeeded among the many who attempted. 

I have not introduced you to any of them yet, have I? Or their peoples, for that matter. Very well. I shall tell you of six. Maybe you'll learn about the rest at some point or another; maybe you won't. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
