Homebrew Soratami Species Details
Also known as the Moonfolk, the soratami of Kamigawa are a people of secretive scholars that normally avoid interaction with those who live on the surface below, venturing out of their cloudtop palaces for research.
Soratami are associated with blue mana, which can be seen clearly in their focus on bettering themselves through study.
Research Without Intervention
Unless at risk themselves, it can take a lot to move soratami to action. When studying something, the soratami make sure that they refrain from interfering, even if doing so would cost the lives of innocents, as it would skew the research they are collecting, potentially making their entire study unusable.
When soratami are moved to action, it is due to their understanding of the presence of a greater threat. No better an example exists of this than Tamiyo, the Moon Sage, whose actions on Innistrad assisted in sealing Emrakul, an Eldrazi titan capable of threatening the entire multiverse, in the plane's silver moon.
