Summary
Energists are rare specialists who study the invisible forces threaded through the galaxy, especially the Vanished energy fields and the keor of Volan, treating them as related powers that can influence both time and space. *1 *2
Culture
Energists are defined more by study and experimental discipline than by a single people or homeland. They are rare specialists rather than a large surviving order, and their work aims not only to understand hidden forces but to master them through theory, fieldwork, and device refinement rather than inherited rank or bloodline. *1
Reach
Their lore links Vanished planetary energy fields with Volan's keor traditions rather than tying the discipline to any one surviving culture. That makes Energists feel less like heirs of a single homeland than like investigators working at the point where several older systems of knowledge overlap. *1 *2
Relations
Energists are closely linked to Keor, whose properties they compare with Vanished energy fields, and they work through the Field Manipulator, a device built to harness those hidden forces directly. The Chronomancers stand as a more specialized heir tradition growing out of similar research into energy, time, and control. Energists matter because they bridge one of the clearest conceptual overlaps in the setting: the apparent connection between Vanished energy technology and the older Volanen language of keor. *1 *3 *2
