The Sherok are a powerful and enigmatic species, direct descendants of the High Sherok, who in turn were the children of the Elder Sherok, also known as the First-Flames. Once rulers of Yedistren, their civilization was nearly eradicated during the Elder Valorîin Rebellion, leading them into exile in the Cities in the Stars.
Renowned for their mastery of both Din and technology, the Sherok constructed continent-spanning cities, each housing tens of billions of their kind. These megacities remain largely intact, standing as both monuments to their former greatness and sources of mystery for scholars and treasure hunters alike.
Appearance
The physical appearance of the Sherok remains a subject of intrigue. Despite the vast biological and aesthetic differences between species, every known being perceives them as immensely beautiful. From the towering, beastly Skozarak to the regal and structured Valorîin, all races see the Sherok as the epitome of beauty, though in ways unique to their own perspectives. This phenomenon has led scholars to theorize that the Sherok's beauty is not merely physical but metaphysical, existing beyond the limitations of form and perception.
Abilities
The Sherok possess extraordinary abilities, a fusion of Din and biology:
- Magical Mastery – The Sherok are inherently attuned to powerful magical energies, known as Din, surpassing nearly all other species.
- Levitation – While not entirely flight-capable, they can hover and glide through the air with ease.
- Void Survival – Unlike most biological beings, the Sherok can exist in the void of space without the need for protection.
- Technology & Magic Symbiosis – Their technology is so advanced that it requires an immense level of magical attunement to function, making it impossible for most species to use.
Society & Civilization
Cities of Unfathomable Scale
At their height, the Sherok ruled from continent-spanning megacities, each a self-sustaining hub of industry, Din, and knowledge. Even after their fall, these cities remain largely untouched, their technological and magical defenses still active. These ruins attract:
- Scholars – Seeking to unravel the secrets of Sherik Din and engineering.
- Treasure Hunters – Hoping to claim lost artifacts of immense power and value.
The Cities in the Stars
Following the Elder Valorîin Rebellion, 95% of the Sherok were wiped out, and the survivors fled into exile. They now reside in the fabled Cities in the Stars, vast spaceborne sanctuaries hidden from most of the universe. These celestial citadels, made by the Nâ'ôna, are said to surpass even the grandest planetary civilizations in beauty and advancement.
The War with the Sebuuk
The Sherok played a critical role in the war against the Sebuuk, a conflict fought not only on the surface of Planets but also in near-space combat, demonstrating their unparalleled technological and magical capabilities. The First-Flames foresaw the possibility of the Sebuuk's return and thus created the High Valorîin as the ultimate weapon against them—or any future threats.
Downfall: The Elder Valorîin Rebellion
The High Valorîin, designed by the First-Flames and ten of the most powerful Sherok, were meant to be the galaxy's ultimate warriors. However, the tyrannical rule of the First-Flames and High Sherok led to their uprising, sparking the Elder Valorîin Rebellion. In a devastating war, the rebellion all but annihilated the Sherok, reducing their population to a mere 5% of its former glory.
Legacy
Despite their downfall, the Sherok remain one of the most mysterious and revered species in existence. Their legacy persists in their monumental cities, their unfathomable technology, and their haunting beauty.
