Zekerin

Line 1:

The '''Zekarin''' are a mysterious and reclusive species in [[Lethurèa]], descended from fallen [[High Valorèin]]. Once corrupted into [[Shemèin]], beings consumed by [[The Curse (Valorèin)|The Curse]], the '''Zekarin''' have since redeemed themselves. Through generations of discipline, self-sacrifice, and spiritual dedication, they now serve as healers and warriors of immense skill. Their duality as both agents of destruction and restoration reflects their unique path toward balance and redemption.{{Species

== 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.

=== Divine Intervention ===

The pivotal turning point in Zekarin history was the [[Zekarin Rebellion]], a defiant uprising against [[Malismorai]] and [[Malis]] after generations of forced allegiance to the [[Malisik]]. These Zekarin were once [[High Valorèin]], cursed and transformed into [[Shemèin]], residing in a galactic sub-sector that bordered the volatile void of [[Black Hole (Lethurèa)|The Black Hole]].

Though burdened by shame and spiritual silence, a remnant among them began to resist. In secret and suffering, they called out to the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]]. Their prayers were answered.

The divine servants of the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]] known as the [[Naa'ôna]], under the direction of the Divine Parents, rescued the Zekarin and carried them into the safety of the [[Star (Lethurèa)|Stars]], where they were shielded from the wrath of [[Malis]] and his followers.

There, within sanctified stellar sanctums, the curse was slowly purged. As the darkness lifted, the [[Call of It'slémwé]] returned to them, confirming their spiritual reintegration.

Through intense discipline, spiritual rituals, and the blending of arcane healing practices, these fallen beings slowly cleansed themselves of the curse’s influence entirely. The '''Zekarin''' emerged as a species born of redemption, embodying a balance of their dark origins and newfound light.

The Zekarin stand today as a testament to redemption by faith, rebellion against darkness, and the unshakable mercy of the Divine Family.

=== Abilities of Redemption ===

Where once they were bound to corruption, the Zekarin now serve as living agents of Divine Law. Their abilities are not just remnants of [[High Valorèin]] power, but also gifts bestowed anew by their redemption.

They can once again and also:

* Walk once more in the light of [[It'slémwé]]

* Can hear and be summoned by [[The Call of It'slémwé|The Call]]

* Possess spiritual resilience and a clarity of purpose rare among mortal or immortal beings

Their status as redeemed Shemèin grants them unique insight into the dangers of the Curse, making them invaluable spiritual guides and battlefield purifiers in the eyes of the [[Free Species]] and even cautious [[Valorèin]].
