Dusk Brains

Dusk Brains are the cerebral centers of Dusk Clouds. Contrary to their name, Dusk Brains are not actually the source of a Dusk's intelligence. Rather, they are the relay point for the rest of the Dusk cloud. The cloud itself collectively makes up a Dusk's intelligence, and its brain is the center point where thoughts and signals are conveyed to the rest of the cloud. Memories are also stored in the cloud collectively, and a brainless cloud will retain its memories and experiences. The Dusk brain does, however, hold its cloud together and prevents any internal mutiny. If a brain is destroyed, the cloud will search for a new brain to join, where its memories, personality, and intelligence will combine with its new self. This is the objective of the frequent and exceptionally violent Dusk civil wars that occur on Dorad and Hon.
