Well, of course - and I don't think anyone was disputing that. But the
message I'm getting is that the Esvulari are quite a poor choice. Sure,
you could make (say) the Praxians all fluffy and cuddly if you wanted,
but that would be a massive change from the established canon and from
likely future material. Just because you can do anything you like
doesn't necessarily mean that all possible things are equally easy. So
what I'm asking is, what group would be the best fit for this sort of
thing - I gather it isn't the Esvulari (which is fine), so who is it?
