== Origins and Redemption ==
The Zekarin trace their lineage to [[Shemèin]], the horrific and feral forms taken by [[High Valorèin]] who fell victim to [[The Curse (Valorèin)|The Curse]]. These [[Shemèin]], driven by bloodlust and feral madness, were shunned and feared across [[Lethurèa]]. Over millennia, a faction of [[Shemèin]], led by enlightened elders, sought to reclaim their lost honor.
The Zekarin share a painful, inescapable origin with the [[Shemèin]], for they ''were'' Shemèin—those who once embraced the [[The Curse (Valorèin)]] and severed themselves from the Divine.
 
Where the Shemèin remain in darkness, '''the Zekarin stand as a mirror'''—a haunting reflection of what could have been, and what still may be. This has forged a relationship of '''deep tension''':
 
* '''To the Shemèin''', the Zekarin are often viewed as traitors—those who turned away f[[Malis]].
* '''To the Zekarin''', the Shemèin are '''still kin''', tragic siblings lost to madness and deception. Some Zekarin believe redemption is still possible for them.
* Encounters between the two are rare, but '''fierce and emotionally charged''', often marked by pleading, fury, and deeply personal duels.
 
The Zekarin’s very existence challenges the Shemèin worldview—proof that forgiveness exists, and that Malis '''lied'''. For this reason, the Shemèin often seek to '''erase all Zekarin''', and the Zekarin, in turn, mourn every such loss as a failed rescue.
