Other Cultures
The ven never mention other cultures, but we do know they co-existed with the early Atlanteans, Lemurians and Hyperborians. These cultures were in their infancy, still little more than orks, but they do exist.
Like I said, these alien cultures never appear in any ven literature. Given the auspiciousness of such a meeting, we’d expect even a casual mention of Atlantean magicians, Lemurian mystics or even Hyperborian warlords. But, unfortunately, there is nothing.

And here’s the answer to The Vach Question.
Yes, Vach, you can play an Atlantean. I know the game is about the ven, but yes, you can play something that isn’t that.
Character creation is pretty easy.
You have no Virtues.
You have one aspect: “Ork.”
You have webbed feet and hands.
And, you can make two sounds: high pitched noises and low pitched noises.
Have fun.
