'''The Ûlèum''' is a deeply intimate and culturally significant practice among the [[Valorik|Valorik Species]], particularly the [[Valorèin]]. It involves intense, consensual sexual intercourse between mates and is considered both '''taboo and archaic''' within modern [[Valorèin]] society. Ûlèum is not merely an act of passion; it is a sacred and powerful practice capable of forming a lifelong connection between mates. It is often compared to the [[The Binding (Valorèin)|Binding]], which is a more commonly accepted method for establishing the [[Soul-Tether]]. Despite its potency, Ûlèum is controversial, with many considering it a remnant of an ancient era. | '''The Ûlèum''' is a deeply intimate and culturally significant practice among the [[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik Species]], particularly the [[Valorèin]].
