The Volamin are one of the principal Spirit Tribes within the metaphysical plane of Lethurêa. Noted for their deep ancestral resonance and complex lineages, the Volamin were identified early by the First-Flames as a people of divine favor.
According to preserved song-texts, the First-Flames desired to Interbreed with the Volamin—an act that was explicitly forbidden by the Mother and Father, the divine progenitors of form and spirit. This tension between divine desire and spiritual law is foundational to Volamin mythic identity.
High Sherok and Divine Rebellion
Despite the divine interdiction against mingling with mortal bloodlines, the High Sherok—avatars of law, flame, and sovereign form—engaged in romantic and sexual relationships with favored species. These unions were never formally blessed, but they were widespread and culturally tolerated in sacred courts and astral estates.
The High Sherok kept Courtesans and Pleasure Mates, often drawn from among the Elder Valorêin, whose spiritual harmonics were said to resonate most purely with Sherok fire. These mortal companions were not merely lovers, but also:
- Ceremonial attuners, used in flame rites and prophetic dreams
- Bloodline enhancers, seeding spiritually potent offspring
- Cultural intermediaries, moving between divine and mortal courts
These liaisons produced:
- Spiritual convergence lines
- Enhanced metaphysical gifts (e.g. prophetic memory, inherited flame-sign)
- Controversial hybrid bloodlines that later formed noble or casteless houses
While never officially sanctioned, such relationships formed the mythic backbone of many Valorêin Houses. The Sherok are remembered as both lovers and lawbreakers—divine beings who gave in to desire, even as they upheld the law.
Unlike many Spirit Tribes, almost all Volamin are able to Interbreed with one another. This is due not only to spiritual compatibility but to their shared biological substrate—the Volamin (Genetic Architecture), which includes the use of Seliotypes, Seliquads, and Selinectos.
This shared architecture enables:
- Line-blended inheritance across species
- Shared metaphysical resonance (ritual harmonics, ancestry rites)
- Cultural intermarriage and political unification across species boundaries
Recognized Volamin Species
The following species are considered part of the Volamin Spirit Tribe and share compatible genetic architecture:
Cultural Significance
The Volamin are frequently invoked in:
- Flameborn epics and ancestral rites
- Interbreeding taboos and fertility blessings
- Myths of divine longing, especially involving the High Sherok
They are associated with:
- The element of veiled fire
- The virtue of grace through lineage
- The vice of desire ungoverned
