About Prexus
Name: Prexus A'marha Xolanthi, He Who Is Within and Without, the Father of Thought.
Name Code: PAX
Domains: Travel, Science.
Race: The Iremae.
An Iremi is quite similar to a human. His physiology is nearly identical: two legs, two arms, a head and similar organs. It is in the faculties of the Iremi and his experience of what is life where lies the difference between the Iremi and humans. It is currently unsure whether the Iremae are humans who were elevated by Prexus or if they went on their own evolutionary path many generations ago. The more orthodox segment of the population refuse to do research on this topic, feeling the fear that they might find answers that will rock the core of their civilization, while the more progressive segment wants nothing more than to know where they came from. One does not know what path he is walking if he does not know where the path started.
The Iremae are looking for knowledge and wisdom as this brings them closer to their God and it is this what their God is looking for. Wisdom is within and can be found at home while knowledge is without and requires an Iremi to go forth and find it. This somewhat paradoxical philosophy is the very core of Iremi civilization.

Background of Prexus:
It is an unanswered question. Did Prexus exist before he started to think or was his very first thought the spark that brought him into existence? The sages of the Iremae use it as the basis of the education of the young. Every young Iremi must reflect upon it, so that one day a promising youth may come forth with a thesis that adequately answers the question. And that by itself explains who Prexus is, He who is Within and Without.
The Father of Thought thinks and therefore is. With every new thought his power grows and so to worship him is to seek great new thoughts. This requires wisdom and knowledge. Wisdom is found within. Knowledge is found without. The process of acquiring wisdom and knowledge stretches the many dimensions of Prexus to greater heights, increasing his power, and power by itself lets one acquire more wisdom and knowledge. While some sages say that true power is found in the complete absence of power, the Iremae are a pragmatic people. Their beliefs fuel their reason to be - thought, but pragmatism keeps them going forward. Just like their master, one can find duality in every aspect of Iremae life.
