The High | The High Valorîin are an ancestoral species to the [[Valorîin]]. Their history is stained by their rebellion against the [[Sherok]], which ultimately led to [[The Curse (Valorîin)|The Curse]] that transformed them into blood-dependent beings. Unlike their descendant, High Valorîin had enhanced psionic abilities, greater physical resilience, and a heightened spiritual connection to [[It'slâmwâ]], the afterlife. They were designed to be the perfect warrior. The [[First-Flames]] designed them to able to fight a threat even greater than the [[Sebuuk]]. | ||

===Physiology & Psionics=== | ===Physiology & Psionics=== | ||
High | High Valorîin possess a unique combination of physiological and psionic enhancements: | ||
Four lungs for extreme oxygen efficiency. Two quadruple-chambered hearts to support rapid blood circulation. [[Vistrum]] Bond – A weak psionic field that allows them to share emotions and sensations, reinforcing camaraderie and unity. Psionic Abilities: Some can perform telekinesis, empathic sensing, and mind-over-matter feats. The Curse & Blood Dependency High | Four lungs for extreme oxygen efficiency.

The Curse & Blood Dependency High Valorîin were cursed by the Sherok after their rebellion, turning them into vampiric-like beings. Their physiology was altered to: | ||
Require blood as their primary sustenance (beginning at age seventeen). Become completely dependent on blood by adulthood, with alcohol as the only alternative.

===The Rebellion Against the [[Sherok]]=== | ===The Rebellion Against the [[Sherok]]=== | ||
The High | The High Valorîin originally served as honored warriors and scholars under the Sherok, their celestial overlords. However, tensions rose with their lack of freedom and [[The|Morâ's]] offer of Freedom under his rule. They eventually led a rebellion that resulted in the extermination of trillions of [[Sherok]]. | ||

The Malisik and [[Morâ]] now Malismorâ then enslaved the surviving High Valorîin before they later regained their freedom. | ||
===The Lifemate Tradition=== | ===The Lifemate Tradition=== | ||
Unlike their descendant the [[ | Unlike their descendant the [[Valorîin]], [[The Ûlîum]] was widely practiced after receiving the blessing of both mates parents. [[The Ûlîum]] forged strong bonds and was in practice until they were [[The Curse (Valorîin)|cursed]]. | ||
Due to [[ | Due to [[Lifemates (Valorîin)|Lifemates]] psionic bonds, High Valorîin [[Lifemates (Valorîin)|Lifemates]] rarely wander far from one another. [[Lifemates (Valorîin)|Lifemates]] remain connected beyond death: | ||

The [[Soul-Tether]] ensures lifelong loyalty and strengthens their mental stability. | ||
=== Reproduction === | === Reproduction === | ||
Unlike other species High | Unlike other species High Valorîin and other [[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik Species]] they have extremely short [[Fertility Cycle (Valorîin)|Fertility Cycles]]. They are able to reproduce for five days, '''every three to five''' [[Lethurîan Standard Calendar|''Lethurîan Years'']] or '''every eight to thirteen''' [[Terran Calendar|''Terran Years'']]. Shortly after the [[Elder Valorîin Rebellion]] the species numbers were crippled. The encroaching war with the [[Malisik]] and the devastation of [[The Curse (Valorîin)|the Curse]] led to a drastic deficiency of [[Warrior|Warriors]] and [[Soldier|Soldiers]]. Breeding became a mandate throughout the [[United Valorîin Kingdoms|Valorîin Kingdoms]]. Fortunately High Valorîin often produce twins. The mandate required that each Valorik Family produce seven children, if capable. | ||
High | High Valorîin reproduce like most [[Mammaloid|Mammaloids]] through vaginal-penile sexual intercourse. High Valorîin only have one sexual partner their entire life. High Valorîin are sexually mature by eight [[Lethurîan Standard Calendar|Lethurîan-Years-Old]]. However, [[Zelka]] do not become fertile until 75 [[Lethurîan Standard Calendar|Lethurîan-Years-Old]] or 207 [[Terran Calendar|Terran-Years-Old]]. | ||
===Spiritual Beliefs=== | ===Spiritual Beliefs=== | ||
High | High Valorîin are deeply spiritual, holding strong beliefs. Many of their beliefs are forged from the trials they have faced as species. They are highly social and deeply family oriented. Families often live in massive [[Multigeneration Complex (Valorîin)|Multigeneration Complexes]] where over ten generations live. | ||

Sex is so intense that often when [[Lifemates (Valorîin)|Lifemates]] climax, which they do together, they may pass out. | ||
The act of intimacy between [[Valorîin]] [[Lifemates (Valorîin)|Lifemates]] is considered a sacred ritual, to be conducted in private as a profound expression of their eternal bond. This act, rooted in the spiritual and physical union described in the [[Lifemates (Valorîin)|Lifemates]] concept, is encouraged to be performed often to reinforce their unbreakable connection. | |||
