Vahudes

Vahudes are a fictional species from the science fiction novel "The Unremembered Empire" by William Alexander. Within the narrative, vahudes are described as ancient, enigmatic beings who possess a deep connection to the fundamental forces of the universe. Their physical form is rarely depicted in detail, emphasizing their otherworldliness and the difficulty humans have in comprehending their existence. They are often portrayed as guardians or manipulators of cosmic energies, acting with motives that are inscrutable to the less advanced races.

The vahudes are presented as possessing immense power and knowledge, having witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations. Their interaction with other species is limited, and when it occurs, it is usually through indirect means or veiled actions. The primary role of the vahudes in "The Unremembered Empire" is to serve as a backdrop of cosmic mystery and power, highlighting the vastness of the universe and the limitations of mortal understanding. Their presence suggests a larger, more complex reality beyond the immediate concerns of the novel's protagonists. They represent a force of nature or an ancient intelligence that operates on a scale far removed from individual lives.
