== Zahar Moths ==
The Zahar moths were born of a need for a permanent group to monitor the Creche, devoted teachers and protectors who would assist the people of Home to raise and educate their children. Danizelle's fiat decree that every child must be well-cared for, well-educated and healthy can be difficult for some families to provide on their own, so with the construction of the Creche Manse, Danizelle began converting three hundred people into something very much akin to humanoid behemoths. She is not sure they are even capable of exaltation even though she shoehorned human souls into them.
Every one is a volunteer, and every one knew what they would be giving up for a crack at power and potential immortality. The requirement wasn't even that obnoxious. They had to agree to dedicate their lives to the care, education and protection of any child placed in their custody, whether for a parent's workshift, or an orphan. The ones who agreed found very much that their bodies, personalities minds and very interests were reforged to fulfill this goal.
The Zahar are human-looking creatures at a glance, but their skin is covered in soft fur with delicate white and (Pick a color) patterns that also take their human hair. With Antennae to help their sensory acuity and four arms they are also gifted with great butterfly-like wings that they use to send themselves aloft. Both males and females are engineered to be lithe, beautiful, and harmless-appearing. They were engineered so that an average child would consider them with awe and wonder, without fear. The fact that they are highly attractive to adults is more or less a side-effect, which Danzi considered of little to no consequence. They are very obviously male or female but they rarely don clothing, their fur covering up most obvious overt sexual bits.
They are two females for every one male. This is mostly due to children naturally seeking mother figures for comfort. They do not breed unless the need for them exceeds their numbers, in which case a number of breeding trios will mate. These unions (which can happen between a human and a Zahar as well) universally produce triplets, two female, one male. These children take fifty years to mature, growing up in the Creche every instinct tells them is their responsibility.
Personality-wise they are quiet, firm, polite and accomodating. They never raise their voices, ever, and they are always willing to assist people of the city they are in. They do not react to hostility openly but their highly refined bodies and minds are perfectly capable of doing hideous amounts of damage to people who threaten them. They will kill anyone they catch trying to steal a child, or deliberately harm one without mercy. Not one can bring injury to a child, though there is nothing preventing them from restraining one.
Volunteers to become Zahar must volunteer in threes. They don't have to be the same gender when they emerge, but after the mental reprogramming they won't care one whit.
