Another one of my annoying surveys

As you should know, I'm nearing breakthrough on my plugin Before They Sailed (a prequil to ARES)and I need some help smoothing out the storyline.

The big question: Who do you think the creators of the Audemedons should be??

  1. The Grolk (that's why they're almost extinct)
  2. Scientists from The Cantharan Star League (before it became evill)
  3. The Audemedons created themselves (?)
  4. A mysterious and hidden race (like the xel'Naga from StarCraft)

Please be serious on this one, guys. Don't clutter my post with stupid responses like 'z' and 'pi'. Stay out of this, Sundered Angel.

Hmmm, I talked to Grammaticus about this, but if I were personally going to use it in a plug, I'd say to myself:

If the Grolk could create the Auds, they'd probably use the tech themselves to not suck quite so much...
I'd personaly place the Order as younger than the Auds...
They created themselves seems wicked cool... Like maybe some ancient species developed self aware machines that were gigantic analouge computers, which eventually managed to figure out how to miniaturize and made themselves awsomely powerful...
Hidden races are kinda cliched, I wouldn't use them myself.
