Yagathians

Yaggothoth's Children, The Radiant Race, Yagathic Generation, or The Dominant Ones, an extinct or possibly endangered race of colossal extraterrestrial beings who were the first colonists of Earth and the planets in the Milky Way.

Their early governance in the Universe was called the Yagathian Empire the largest of its kind in existence and ruled over many planets including Earth.

History
The Radiant Race invaded and colonized Earth about 900 million years ago from a distant planet called Y'g-'theh.

Yagathians overran the native lifeforms with aggression and genetically manipulation especially different plants and animals to fit their own needs of survival on any planets they settled

This would take a million years to complete usually leaving behind ruins and evidence of their experiments found within everything from records to etches on the wall.

When the Yagathians started to make an ecosystem similar to their home planet it created countless forms of diverse lifeforms that eventually became fossilized in time as they became extinct.

Each of their success led to hardships in almost every part of their history as the natives would revolt against them and refuse to work together with them causing conflict between the two species.

The Yagathians went to build subterranean cities to protect their race from extinction and diseases from the changing climate and some adapted to the harshest extremes of the world until they could not anymore.

There have been many theories about their ultimate demise from changes in the weather or hostile species wiping them out.

Biology
A Yagathian had a cylindrical body, blue skin, four long arms each with claws, and also a human-like head with four red eyes, and fleshy protrusions that had an unknown function.

The females are different from the males in height and physiology with more noticeable sex organs and advanced appendages with different functions including communication and emotional detection.

"'The Radiant Race stood tall as anything in the desert and crawled on legs like snakes...Their mothers were shaped like a woman of the Earth only by the men of their kind...They had powerful claws for hands that grasped even the strongest of rocks and swords of a thousand armies...'"

The average lifespan of a Yagathian was estimated to be from 900 to 1,000 human years and was about several feet tall their exact height is unknown due to it not being recorded in ancient texts.

Behavior
"'The Radiant Race is chaotic and aggressive when it comes to negotiating with other beings and becoming allies was a step forward when it came to equilibrium and understanding of the outside Universe...Though when someone disagreed with them conflict followed and appeasement was very important in this situation for they seeded different worlds that created different minds to wield...The treacherous were put on trial and death was usually the verdict, no mercy and no compromise came from the judge...'"

Yagathians were known for their reasonable, lawful, and cautious nature that shaped the Universe and Earth through genetic manipulation and creating ecosystems on different worlds that are now lost in time.

Their social hierarchy played an important role in behavior and therefore many members were aristocratic and hegemonic later on as they gained more knowledge while keeping morality.

The Yagathians took treachery, immorality, and murder seriously to the point of exile or death depending on the severity of the offense.

Reproduction
"'The Seed Mother of the Radiant Race spreads her seed on the soil and then surrogates would collect and plant them within their soul...When the eggs finally reveal the new life it attaches to the weakest host to feed on the lingering life energy...'"

The Yagathian Seed Mother reproduced by creating a series of gelatinous eggs that were buried in the soil until hatched when the weather is warm.

A young Yagathian is then carried by a surrogate until it is fully matured and then it feeds off the weakest host for food.

Then the Yagathians reproduced through a series of advanced devices and breeding chambers which abled them to make replicas of themselves without incident.

Society


Yagathian society was run by the older members and with an advanced government ruled by a Seed Mother that gives life to new generations of the race.

Their Seed Mothers took treachery, blasphemy, and murder in their society seriously and the punishment for such offenses was exile or death.

The exiled Yagathians were never allowed to be in the Empire unless they repent their transgressions to the Seed Mother and this was a rare exception.

Since the beginning of their society, the Yagathians score to abide by the principles of the Seed Mother and not disobey her decrees.

Religion
The Yagathians worshipped numerous deities and even the planets that were settled by the Empire just stopped when the Astral Masters taught them that the Fallen Gods were detrimental to their success.

Then each planet was associated with a primal force that emitted from the surface causing a euphoric effect on their telepathy.

In the early eons, the Astral Masters were not praised, and when the Fallen Gods became their main focus of devotion this caused a series of disasters, famine, and wars.

This eventually led them to abandon their beliefs and the Astral Masters became a source of salvation and hope in an uncertain future.

The teaching of the Sacred Knowledge became part of their religion and governed their society bringing Harmony and peace.

Creation Myth
"'The beginning of the Radiant Race was with a drop of ichor and churning stars that erupted into numerous amounts of slithering and shuddering beings...Then the beings uttered a sound that sparked a billow of powerful and meaningful chants...This is how the Radiant Race came from the Universe...Their leader and mentor Yaggothoth taught them how to survive in the vast expanse of the Universe and there they beheld the power of knowledge and experience...'"

The Orb Builders were said to be their cruel ancestors who created them with the help of Yaggothoth and his warriors.

Possible Survivors
A new theory about the survival of the Yagathian race is still in existence somewhere in the universe waiting to return from their absence to the native species that drove them out.

There has not been any solid evidence found about their existence and therefore sometimes they are considered a legendary race of beings that influenced humans into building great structures and monuments.

Many petroglyphs were discovered depicting the Radiant Race communicating with early humanity probably in exchange for knowledge that was beyond comprehension and therefore considered a great gift from the gods.

Technology


Yagathian technology was advanced and also yet to be understood by modern science. The Eshermek Tablets mentioned the technology in the inscriptions: "'The huge floating towers of the Radiant Race roars like a thousand lions in the sky...Also, glowing bursts of beams shine through many openings and give off a strange color from beyond the stars...The worlds are teeming with life and the Radiant Race watch in awe and eagerness as their creations walk the land and swim in the waters...Then an enormous quake from the ground makes new lands and features that rival the divinities...'"

The mechanical structures were later discovered in the supposed Yagathian ruins that were buried under Eshermek and other ancient relics of unknown origin were found as well.

Numerous archaeologists found a large number of strange devices made with a tough material that is not found anywhere on Earth.

Their means of transportation were called the breeding stations where they would be bred and trained to carry out the wishes of the Seed Mother.

The Eshermekites mentioned these great vehicles in their records and mythology.

"'The spinning structure in the sky appeared out of nowhere and released a brightness as the rays of the Sun and resembling a dagger through a bowl...Then the noises were louder than the thunders of the gods and wailing of the goddesses...This went on for several moments before they disappeared along with the great bursts of fire...Its color was not of this Earth as it released an aroma like that of ginger and honey...These extraordinary and exotic gliding stations were most likely used to breed the Radiant Race and their ways to traverse and navigate through the heavens...The villagers and slaves heard a roaring of lions on the hunt and vultures screeching circling their meal before it dies...Before the rest of the witnesses come out to look curiously at the amazement as it disappears into the sky forever...'"

Defense and Warfare


The Yagathians had an army that consisted of soldiers that defended the Seed Mother by attacking and destroying her enemies by fighting with their sharp claws and weapons.

"'The great armies of the Radiant Race will tear down the walls of their adversaries and destruction is left in their path as thousands of and the many bodies lay on the battlefield...Their claws stronger than the sword cuts down even the bravest and strongest of warriors on various worlds that were subjugated by their wrath...'"

However, only the Seed Mother could deploy the troops and their tactics were similar to ants and termites of the Earth.

"'The warfare of the Radiant Race was brutal and excessive at times as they vanquished their enemies and took their spoils left behind only to spend it again on more useless fighting...A sound of shouting and blasphemous remarks are heard in the distance of the dying adversaries attempting to struggle to save their strength to retreat to their cities to fight another day...'"
