GUYS I MADE ALIENS

[Okor]

It still sounds like a highly divided society based off of people's interests. I can certainly imagine that a continent of scientists and a continent devoted to entertainment would be at odds at times, due to the widely different cultural values. As for the length of the schooling, even with them spending less than half the week engaged in education (Which really begs the question how serious they are about it), several decades is far too long to master their chosen craft. What with their ability to live for a thousand years, it seems that a painfully slow learning process in comparison to other species would be less of a problem for them.

In regards to physiology, keep that degenerate hand-holding out of here. This is a family website, damn you.

How is the council chosen? Are they democratically elected? Is it some sort of grand competition where the best at a continent's crafts becomes a member? I can see the latter being an issue, as the best musician is far from guaranteed to be best suited to handle the needs of a continent. Are these crystals in high demand throughout the universe? If so, I could imagine some organization attempting to acquire infinite power for themselves. Inlumnia seems to have no notable martial tradition, so unless their telepathy is strong enough to make a planet of teachers, scientists, dancers, and musicians into a fighting force, I imagine there might be a good deal of political pressure from more militaristic entities seeking their crystals.

All in all, with almost half their planet devoted to entertainment, centralized power plants that can disable a continent for weeks on end, naturally developing power crystals, and seeming disinterest in education give the impression that they're not exactly intellectuals. They've had natural geothermal power and magical space crystals handed to them on a silver platter, and I'm not sure they can stop someone who's had to invent their own means of power and survival from taking it for themselves.
