Gevana are natives of the [[Golden Sun]] system, indigenous to the world nearest the sun. They all stand over six feet in height, with long, narrow-chinned heads and very thin frames. They are exceedingly graceful in composure and movement, and have six digits on the end of their limbs. Their skin is jet-black, with textures that ranges from smooth matte to pebbled to striated (as though wind across the sand) to somewhat smooth and reflective. Their eyes are delicate compound structures the color and appearance of gemstones, but these are rarely seen, for the gevana have a set of nictating silvery eyelids they keep closed over their eyes. These "sunlids" can be seen through, and they darken all light sufficiently to permit the geveana to see no matter how bright the light is.

The tall, jet-skinned people of the Rastram Kanaga. They do not need water, and their eyes are always protected by a nictating mirror-reflective membrane protecting their delicate gem-colored eyes. They have six digits on the ends of their limbs and narrow chins. They wear implanted stones of ''qamani'', the glass created by their people. They are the originators of the ''Suryavarna'' faith, and all their people are assumed to occupy a position of clergy within it, even if they are not part of the religious structure per se.
