Cleanup note
editI have removed the following paragraph because it contained largely redundant info.
Prequels
editThe prequel trilogy takes place during a period centuries after the Alectors arrive on Corus, then called Acorus, from their previous world, Ifryn. The Alectors travel from world to world, reshaping marginal worlds to their liking with their powers. They ultimately wish to create a rich and self-sustaining base of life force, for they require life-force to power their Talent (a form of psionics) and their artifacts. To this end, they operate as ecological stewards, guiding lesser races in land management and life management techniques they believe will create this base. They regard such races as "steers" since they are chiefly responsible for creation of the life-force on which Alectors depend. Generally speaking, Alectors rise to positions of power and responsibility commensurate with the Talent they possess - all Alectors possess some Talent, but (like intellect) their actual skills vary considerably.
If you can find a use for it, go ahead, but please leave a comment on your approach to reintegrating this section. ~Gertlex 19:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Variances in the trilogies
editThe Wikipedia article appears to be based on the explanations given by Modesitt in the final five books. Some of the things found in the first three books suggest that the Efrans had improved or altered the way in which their powers worked.
(It could also be that the author changed his mind about how the abilities of the Alectors work before he wrote the fourth book.) Itinerantlife (talk) 18:03, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
