Vedalken
Nothing is perfect. Vedalken not only believe this fact, they rejoice in it. Every imperfection is a chance for improvement, and progress is an end less march toward a state of perfection that can never be reached. This viewpoint leads vedalken to pursue their work with delighted enthusiasm, never deterred by setbacks and excited by
every opportunity for improvement.

Additional Information
Social Structure
Despite being talkative, vedalken keep their personal
lives private. and they tend to engage more with ideas
than with people. They form close friendships based on
mutual interests or compelling disagreements, and their
interactions dwell on their thoughts about those issues
rather than their feelings about them.
To members of other races, vedalken often seem cold, even emotionless. That assessment isn't fair - they feel emotion every bit as intensely as other folk do, but they are skilled at not displaying it. Cool rationality guides their actions, they make and follow careful plans, and they are patient enough to do nothing when the ideal outcome relies on such inaction.

Vedalken believe that the path toward the impossible goal of perfect ion is paved with bricks of education, careful deliberation, and controlled experimentation. Some vedalken direct their energy toward perfecting themselves, whether by means of Simic bioengineering or through extensive study, and others concentrate on perfecting society through the careful drafting and application of laws.
