==Physical Traits==
The Elder Valorèin are among the most physically imposing [[Humanoid]] species in [[Lethurèa]]. They were designed to be guardians of [[Yedistren]], if the [[Sebuuk]] escaped or a greater threat manifested.
*Height: Males stand between 15 to 20 feet, while females range from 12 to 18 feet.
*Strength: Capable of lifting over three tons, with extreme stamina and endurance.
*Sensory Abilities:
**Eagle Eyes – Detect faint movements over a three mile away.
**Supersonic Hearing – Can hear a heartbeat from a six mile away.
**Olfactory Sense – Can detect a microliter of blood over a ten-mile radius.
===Physiology & Psionics===
Elder Valorèin 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, psychic persuasion, illusions, and mind-over-matter feats.
==History & Culture==
===The Rebellion Against the [[Sherok]]===
The Elder Valorèin originally served as honored warriors and scholars under the Sherok, their celestial overlords. However, tensions rose with their lack of freedom and [[Malismorai|Morai's]] offer of Freedom under his rule. They eventually led a rebellion that resulted in the extermination of trillions of [[Sherok]].
In retaliation, the surviving Sherok placed [[The Curse (Valorèin)|The Curse]] upon them, forever altering their biology. The Malisik and [[Morai]] now [[Malismorâ]] then enslaved the surviving Elder Valorèin before they later regained their freedom.
===The Lifemate Tradition===
Unlike their descendant the [[Valorèin]], [[The Ûlèum]] was widely practiced after receiving the blessing of both mates parents.
Due to [[Lifemate|Lifemates]] psionic bonds, '''Elder Valorèin''' [[Lifemate|Lifemates]] rarely wander far from one another. [[Lifemate|Lifemates]] remain connected beyond death:
If one mate dies, the other cannot leave the planet where their partner perished without both souls [[Transcendance|Transcending]]. The [[Soul-Tether]] ensures lifelong loyalty and strengthens their mental stability.


== Overview ==
=== Reproduction ===
The '''Elder Valorèin''' are the legendary, primordial ancestors of all [[Valorèin]] species in [[Lethurèa]]. Designed by the [[First-Flames]] as mighty guardians, they rose to prominence as both scholars and warriors—only to meet extinction or transformation during the rebellion against their celestial overlords, the [[Sherok]]. No true Elder Valorèin remain; their legacy lives on through their altered descendants.
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.


== Biology ==
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]].
=== Physical Traits ===
* Males: 15–20 feet tall; Females: 12–18 feet tall
* Four times the muscular density of modern Valorèin, capable of lifting over three tons
* Gem-like eyes and metallic hair, often displaying multiple rare colors
* Four lungs, two quadruple-chambered hearts, dual livers, four kidneys, and a highly efficient digestive tract
* Superior senses: able to detect motion at miles’ distance, hear heartbeats across great spans, and sense blood from afar
* Most notable for strong telepathic abilities and weak psionic field known as the [[Vistrum]]


=== Psionics & Spiritual Traits ===
===Spiritual Beliefs===
* All Elder Valorèin possessed potent psionic abilities, including empathic communication, telekinesis, and mind-over-matter feats
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.
* [[Vistrum]] bond created natural camaraderie, empathy, and unity
* Certain bloodlines could commune directly with the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]]


== History ==
==== It'slâmwâ ====
=== The Rebellion & Transformation ===
The Elder Valorèin served the [[Sherok]] as honored guardians, but centuries of oppression and the temptation of freedom from [[Malismorâ]] led to a cataclysmic rebellion. As they breached the Council Chambers of the [[Grand Citadel]], the [[Curse (Valorèin)]] was unleashed—those present were instantly transformed, becoming the cursed [[High Valorèin]]. Only Elder Valorèin who fled to the [[Cities in the Stars]] were spared physical transformation, but their DNA, spiritual energy, and psionics were irrevocably changed. All subsequent generations inherited these alterations, marking the end of the Elder Valorèin as a true species.


=== Legacy & Relics ===
* '''[[Itslémwé|It'slâmwâ]]''' is the afterlife where their souls transcend.
Some legends claim the existence of an untouched [[Gene Codex]], a mythical artifact capable of restoring the Valorèin to their pre-Curse glory. Classical Valorèin art, martial traditions (such as the ancient Ûk and Kledrad weapons), and family structures all draw direct inspiration from Elder Valorèin innovations.
* '''[[The Call of Itslémwé|The Call of It'slâmwâ]]''' – The psionic pull toward death, guiding them to their destined fate.


== Culture ==
==== Communion ====
=== Religion & Spirituality ===
'''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]].
* Elder Valorèin were uniquely able to commune with the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]] through ritual prayer in sacred temples. This gift has been lost to their descendants, and temple-building is now seen as obsolete.
* Belief in [[It'slâmwâ]], the afterlife, and the guidance of ancestral spirits


=== Social Practices ===
==== '''Parenthood''' ====
* Nudity was divine, symbolizing purity and openness; family and multigenerational complexes were central
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.
* The sacred act of [[Lifemate|Lifemating]] was foundational, with the act binding partners for eternity via soul-tethering
* Uulum zones on the body revealed emotional states, reinforcing cultural transparency


=== Innovations ===
==== Sex ====
* Earliest Valorèin art styles, now revered as “classical” in descendant cultures
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]].
* Origin of open-hand and weapon martial arts traditions, including unarmored combat (now rare) and the development of the Ûk and Kledrad swords
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.


== Legacy ==
==== Nudity ====
* Those bearing the rare “High Valorèin trait” (height, strong telepathy) are especially revered as living connections to Elder Valorèin lineage
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.
* [[Merik Teslek]] and [[Mêra Ûrlek Teslek]] are the only known individuals to trace their ancestry directly to the Ancient Hero and Heroine of the Elder Valorèin era
[[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.
* Modern Valorèin view their ancestors as vastly superior in power and wisdom, but also as a cautionary tale of pride and rebellion


== Trivia ==
===Technology & Warfare===
* The Elder Valorèin believed temple rituals were essential for spiritual communion—a tradition lost and now seen as obsolete
Despite their spiritual nature, Elder Valorèin are Elderly advanced warriors:
* 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]]
