Krylites are an insect-like race who survived underground on the continent of [[Emer]] since the [[First Era]] cataclysm in the [[Shadow World]] history. (See "Emer: The Great Continent", page 44. 1990) The source books are non-commital on their racial origins. They are taken to be "one example of the strange extraterrestrials who might have been imported by the [[Lords of Essaence\|K'ta'viiri]] in the First Era." They are assumed to have been another one of the dark races originating in [[Kadaena]]'s experiments, possibly a "perversion of a natural race" but "a bizarre fusion of of humanoid and insectile attributes", and that "it is quite possible that their origins are extraterrestrial." This source material holds out the possibility that they first arrived here from being "thrust through an Essaence interface long ago and trapped here against their will."

			The krylites were relatively technologically advanced with considerable proficiency using electricity and steam power, as that world setting was a mixture of fantasy and science fiction. When the [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] ended the background lore was left idle, but returned very similar to its original form when the [[Aelotoi]] were introduced. The documentation consistently uses the word "planet" and never uses the word "planes." Kiramon are not [[extraplanar]] beings in the game mechanics. This cannot be considered a decisive factor as there are other creatures (e.g. [[water wyrd]]s) with extraplanar lore who are not either.
