Editing Vedalken (section)

==Kaladesh==
The vedalken of [[Kaladesh]] can be defined from the rest of their kin by their extroverted natures, the fact they have hair, and their possession of 6 fingers to each hand, which works well given their racial tendency to be [[artificer]]s. This makes them the most human-looking of the vedalken strains, although their high forehead and comparatively small (but fully-formed) noses adds a certain subtle dash of "alien" to their looks.

Their most defining trait is their unusual view of progress: in a nutshell, the vedalken believe nothing can ever be perfect or is perfect, and that is something to rejoice in. Imperfection is a chance for improvement, progress is an endless march towards a state of perfection that can never actually be reached. Yes, this can make them quite exasperating, as their enthusiasm in noting flaws and problems can be quite a social blunder. Still, this drive for continues improvisation means they tend to be masters of their craft, simultaneously always open to new ideas and constantly in pursuit of a way to make things better.

Kaladeshii vedalkens are curious, excitable, and tend to become deeply engrossed in their labors. Gregarious in conversation, they are prone to talking a lot, if only to themselves, because they tend to find dialogue flow aids their thought processes. That said, they engage more with ideas than with people, and this in turn makes them quite circumspect when it comes to their personal lives. They form close friendships based around mutual interests or compelling disagreements, and their interactions focus on their thoughts about those issues rather than their feelings about them. Emotional dynamics don’t particularly interest vedalken, either as a conversational topic or a field of study. When they talk about their feelings, it is primarily to provide information that might be helpful to others. For example, a vedalken might tell her colleagues, “I’m feeling irritated right now, so I might not be reacting appropriately. Perhaps we should continue this later.” But any questions about the cause of the irritation are likely to be brushed off as being irrelevant to the situation.
