- "The Folk, not yet capable of spaceflight but technologically skilled and obsessed by a eugenic vision that motivated them to kill upwards of ninety percent of their own offspring for real or imaginary defects."
- ―The Ellimist
The Folk are a non-space-faring, but technologically advanced race encountered by the Ellimist in the The Ellimist Chronicles whose homeworld is located in Quadrant Three, the same quadrant the Capasins and Laga also call home. The Folk are highly eugenic beings, as they kill ninety percent of their own children for either having defects or for imagined defects. The Folk are currently extinct, being wiped out by Crayak went he sent an asteroid toward their homeworld, wiping out many which few survived. The Ellimist might have been able to save them, but it appears he left them so he could stop Crayak and save other races from Crayak's interstellar genocide.
