=== Reproduction ===
=== Reproduction ===
Unlike other species Elder Valorèin and other [[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik Species]] they have extremely short [[Fertility Cycle (Valorèin)|Fertility Cycles]]. They are able to reproduce for five days, '''every three to five''' [[Lethurèan Standard Calendar|''Lethurèan Years'']] or '''every eight to thirteen''' [[Terran Calendar|''Terran Years'']]. Shortly after the [[High Valorèin Rebellion|Elder Valorèin Rebellion]] the species numbers were crippled. The encroaching war with the [[Malisik]] and the devastation of [[The Curse (Valorèin)|the Curse]] led to a drastic deficiency of [[Warrior|Warriors]] and [[Soldier|Soldiers]]. Breeding became a mandate throughout the [[United Valorèin Kingdoms|Valorèin Kingdoms]]. Fortunately Elder Valorèin often produce twins. The mandate required that each Valorik Family produce seven children, if capable.
Unlike most species, the Elder Valorèin—and other members of the [[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik Species Family]]—possessed extremely short [[Fertility Cycle (Valorèin)|fertility cycles]]. An Elder Valorèin could reproduce for only five days, every five to ten [[Lethurèan Standard Calendar|Lethurèan Years]] (or every thirteen to twenty-seven [[Terran Calendar|Terran Years]]). This infrequency, combined with their long lifespans and low numbers, made each new birth a momentous event in their society.


Elder Valorèin reproduce like most [[Mammaloid|Mammaloids]] through vaginal-penile sexual intercourse. Elder Valorèin only have one sexual partner their entire life. Elder Valorèin are sexually mature by eight [[Lethurèan Standard Calendar|Lethurèan-Years-Old]]. However, [[Zelka]] do not become fertile until 500 [[Lethurèan Standard Calendar|Lethurèan-Years-Old]] or 1,388 [[Terran Calendar|Terran-Years-Old]].
Elder Valorèin reproduce like most [[Mammaloid|Mammaloids]], through vaginal-penile sexual intercourse. They are strictly monogamous, with each individual having only one sexual partner—known as their [[Lifemate]]—for their entire life. '''Elder Valorèin''' reach sexual maturity at sixteen [[Lethurèan Standard Calendar|Lethurèan Years Old]], though [[Zelka]], do not become fertile until 500 [[Lethurèan Standard Calendar|Lethurèan Years Old]] (or 1,388 [[Terran Calendar|Terran Years Old]]).

===Spiritual Beliefs===
=== Family ===
Elder Valorèin are deeply spiritual, holding strong beliefs. Many of their beliefs are forged from the trials they have faced as species. They are Elderly social and deeply family oriented. Families often live in massive [[Multigeneration Complex (Valorèin)|Multigeneration Complexes]] where over ten generations live.

==== It'slâmwâ ====
=== It'slâmwâ ===
* '''[[It'slâmwâ]]''' is the afterlife where their souls transcend.
* '''[[The Call of Itslémwé|The Call of It'slâmwâ]]''' – The psionic pull toward death, guiding them to their destined fate.


* '''[[Itslémwé|It'slâmwâ]]''' is the afterlife where their souls transcend.
=== Parenthood ===
* '''[[The Call of Itslémwé|The Call of It'slâmwâ]]''' – The psionic pull toward death, guiding them to their destined fate.
Parenthood is a sacred duty among the Elder Valorèin and is never taken lightly. Upon reaching fertility, both males and females are traditionally given the most potent aphrodisiacs known in [[Lethurèa]] to ensure conception and continuation of the lineage.
 
=== Sexuality & Lifemating ===
Sexual intercourse is deeply sacred, as a single act can lead to completion of [[the Ûlèum]], binding two partners together for eternity as [[Lifemates (Valorèin)|Lifemates]]. The Elder Valorèin regard this act with profound reverence; those who enter into intimacy without true compatibility may face [[The Yûkoth]], a grueling ritual for unmaking ill-fated lifemates.
 
Sex is considered the most intimate act an Elder Valorèin can experience. They possess highly sensitive erogenous zones known as the [[Ûlum]], including the loins, buttocks, ears, nape, and [[Breasts]]. Touching these zones can be extremely arousing, and the intensity of the lifemating bond means that lifemates often climax together—sometimes to the point of passing out.


==== Communion ====
=== Nudity ===
'''The [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]] Communion''' '''Elder Valorèin''' often pray and commune with the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]]. They often receive answers and blessings. Sadly, their descendants lost this ability to commune during adulthood until [[The Binding (Valorèin)|Bonded]].
Nudity is viewed as divine and pure. Unlike many non-[[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik Species]], who may see nudity as distasteful or sinful, Elder Valorèin embrace it as the natural, sacred state of being. Classical [[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik]] art frequently depicts the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]] nude or semi-nude; modern art portrays them in white robes exposing the right breast, back, buttocks, and legs (for the Mother), or in similar fashion (for the Father). Religious texts describe both divinities ministering to spirit children while nude, reinforcing the idea of nudity as the purest form.


==== '''Parenthood''' ====
At the age of eighteen [[Lethurèan Standard Calendar|Lethurèan Years]] (or forty-eight [[Terran Calendar|Terran Years]]), [[Zelka]] are permitted to wear the traditional [[Lômela Dress]]. This sacred garment is crocheted with intricate symbols from white string, featuring many windows to allow the body to be seen. It is taboo to wear undergarments beneath a Lômela Dress.
Parenthood is a Sacred duty. With the decline in population after the [[High Valorèin Rebellion|Elder Valorèin Rebellion]], the strickening of [[The Curse (Valorèin)|the Curse]], and the start of [[The One War]], breeding became mandatory. A [[Lifemates (Valorèin)|Lifemates]] family may contain as many as twenty children.


==== Sex ====
== Innovations ==
Sexual Intercourse is sacred. Just having sex once can lead to [[the Ûlèum]] being completed. This sacred act binds a binary pair for eternity as [[Lifemates (Valorèin)|Lifemates]]. This sacred act is not taken lightly. Those who abuse it without being compatible may have to endure [[the Yûkoth]], a grueling method of unmaking [[Lifemates (Valorèin)|Lifemates]].
* Earliest Valorèin art styles, now revered as “classical” in descendant cultures
Sex is the most intimate act a Elder Valorèin can experience. They possess zones on the body known as [[Ûlum]]. The [[Ûlum]] is Elderly sensitive and touching parts of it such as the loins, buttock, ears, nape, and [[Breasts]] are extremely arousing. Sex is so intense that often when [[Lifemates (Valorèin)|Lifemates]] climax, which they do together, they may pass out.
* Origin of open-hand and weapon martial arts traditions, including unarmored combat (now rare) and the development of the Ûk and Kledrad swords


==== Nudity ====
== Legacy ==
Nudity is Divine. Many non-[[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik Species]] view nudity as distasteful, inappropriate, or even a sinful. In classical [[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik]] artwork, the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]] are depicted in a nude or semi-nude state. In modern are The [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] is depicted in white robes with her right breast exposed, back, buttocks, and her legs exposed and the [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]] is depicted in a similar fashion. In religious texted they are seen completely nude ministering to their spirit children whom are also nude. Nudity is seen as the Purest state of ones being.
* Those bearing the rare “High Valorèin trait” (height, strong telepathy) are especially revered as living connections to Elder Valorèin lineage
[[Zelka]] at the age of fourteen [[Lethurèan Standard Calendar|Lethurèan Years]] or 38 [[Terran Calendar|Terran Years]] are allowed to where a traditional garb called a [[Lômela Dress]]. The [[Lômela Dress]] is crotchet with intricate, sacred symbols from white string. This dress has many windows and allows the body to be completely viewed. It is taboo to where undergarments with it.
* [[Merik Teslek]] and [[Mêra Ûrlek Teslek]] are the only known individuals to trace their ancestry directly to the Ancient [[Merek Tetorak|Hero]] and [[Míra Kûlaron Tetorak|Heroine]] of the Elder Valorèin era
* [[Modern Valorèin]] view their ancestors as vastly superior in power and wisdom, but also as a cautionary tale of pride and rebellion


===Technology & Warfare===
== Trivia ==
Despite their spiritual nature, Elder Valorèin are Elderly advanced warriors:
* The Elder Valorèin believed temple rituals were essential for spiritual communion—a tradition lost and now seen as obsolete
* Some believe that restoring the [[Gene Codex]] could bring about a “second dawn” of the Elder Valorèin
* Size and telepathy are the strongest markers of ancient blood
* The Elder Valorèin’s preference for nude combat inspired the aesthetic of “classical” Valorèin statuary


Weapons – They wield Kledrad swords, made from the nearly indestructible [[Celestial Metal]] [[Varkest]]. Battle Techniques – Many are trained in psionic combat, capable of using telekinetic attacks. Defense & Armor – Many [[High Valorèin|Elder Valorèin]] smithies pride themselves on forging [[Varkest]] Armor which is both extremely light and damage resistant.
==Trivia==
Morning Nudity Tradition – Many Elder Valorèin begin their mornings in the nude with their families as a symbol of openness and purity. Emotional Transparency – Their Uulum zones flush visibly with emotions such as embarrassment, pleasure, or displeasure.
*Cultural Division – While The Ûlèum was a widely accepted practice, their descendants the [[Modern Valorèin]] found it to be primitive and lacked the elegance of [[The Binding (Valorèin)|The Binding Ritual]] performed by the Sherok.
*[[Valorèin]] – The overarching species of which Elder Valorèin are a subset.
*Only Elder Valorèin that were not [[The Curse (Valorèin)|cursed]] passed down the [[High Valorèin]]
