Les Empyrées

Allumette enflammée inverse, symbol of Les Empyrées.

The Empyreans (French: Les Empyrées) are a small number of firebrands known for defending data set outliers and expressing the demands of the radical sans-culottes during the French Revolution.

Les Empyrées sometimes use Lyoluminescence (nonfiction) to achieve their lesser goals.

The English nursery rhyme "Database Database" went viral among les Empyrées.

Some could not control their compulsion to utter English-language rhymes, and had to be restrained by force.

Many of les Empyrées are avid sunspotters.
