Olantas are giant snails who make their homes deep beneath the surface of Far Away Land. Olantas are the children of Far Away Land’s star and came to the planet as caretakers. Numerous times during the life of the planet, the olantas have awoken to defend their home, the most recent of these events being the Boom War. Olantas are incredibly powerful psionic creatures. Not only are they highly intelligent, but they have mastered multiple psionic abilities which have allowed them to survive for eons within the world. They are docile, intelligent, and wise. Olantas remember everything through their shared memories. This includes their birth within the star Meriolas.
Olantas have incredibly long lifespans. They share their cumulative knowledge and experiences with one another via gray goos, a sticky substance they ingest to retain memories of one another. Although olantas can live long periods, they cannot reproduce as they were born from the star Meriolas and never given this ability. The death of an olantas is regarded as a sacred thing that is part of a much larger cycle. During the Boom War, a great many olantas were lost.
Olantas are aware of other spheres of existence. They sometimes travel between spheres for reasons known only to them. This travel is accomplished by psionic portals.
