So I really like the Pact Worlds book. Lots of great stuff both lore-wise, adventure hooks and character options. My main regret was not that much information about the Liavrin moon Arkanen. When I first read about it back in Distant Worlds there wasn't that much information about it then. Humans and centaur-like creatures who focus on arcane magic. Sounds ok, I can work with that, though I'd like to know more. A planet where mages are common and run things, but not necessarily tyrannical, with humans and centaurs.
Now the Pact Worlds book is out and it doesn't say much about this moon, which has full Pact status, and while the barathu have taken control over the dreamers and the gas giant wilderness of Liavra, the dirindi and sazorons seem to have much more control over the moons. They have warded off Hallas, colonized Osoro and have a reputation of being the amoung the best mages around. The book mentions the centaur-like sazorons as having "humanoid torsos and four-legged saurian bodies" and that's it. Further the dirindi are described as "three-eyed, electrically attuned humanoid" and that's it.
I guess what I'm saying is that I'm desperate for more lore beyond the two small entries for this seemingly important moon. They lose their atmosphere and replenish by passing through Liavara in a way that defies physics, they deal with the lightning storms that come with that, and both species are good with magic. I want more. I'll probably home-brew the NPCs when my group encounters them, but I would love to know the politics, the threats on the moon, an official race listing, an illustration of these two species, a lightning adept theme (or whatever). Just a shout out that I, for one, want more info on these alien wizards.
They're definitely high up on my wish list for playable races. I'm especially curious if the dirindi have any relationship to the kish; there isn't any strong evidence and I don't think any line's been drawn between them explicitly in the text, but both races have three eyes & Arkanen's unnatural orbit is the kind of thing that could be explained by the kishalee.
I'm also curious about their neighbors on Nchak, the native insect race that I don't believe has actually been named. Not that we're hurting for bug people between the shirrens, formians, and haan, but I want to see all the native pact worlds races statted out relatively soon.
