They rebelled against them and tried to commit genocide after being oppressed for an era and beguiled by Malismorâ. No true Elder Valorèin remain. All that is left of their legacy is their descendants.

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 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 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 Lifemates psionic bonds, Elder Valorèin Lifemates rarely wander far from one another. Lifemates remain connected beyond death:

If one mate dies, the other cannot leave the planet where their partner perished without both souls Transcending. The Soul-Tether ensures lifelong loyalty and strengthens their mental stability.

Reproduction

Unlike other species Elder Valorèin and other Valorik Species they have extremely short Fertility Cycles. They are able to reproduce for five days, every three to five Lethurèan Years or every eight to thirteen Terran Years. Shortly after the Elder Valorèin Rebellion the species numbers were crippled. The encroaching war with the Malisik and the devastation of the Curse led to a drastic deficiency of Warriors and Soldiers. Breeding became a mandate throughout the Valorèin Kingdoms. Fortunately Elder Valorèin often produce twins. The mandate required that each Valorik Family produce seven children, if capable.

Elder Valorèin reproduce like most Mammaloids through vaginal-penile sexual intercourse. Elder Valorèin only have one sexual partner their entire life. Elder Valorèin are sexually mature by eight Lethurèan-Years-Old. However, Zelka do not become fertile until 500 Lethurèan-Years-Old or 1,388 Terran-Years-Old.

Spiritual Beliefs

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 Complexes where over ten generations live.

It'slâmwâ

• It'slâmwâ is the afterlife where their souls transcend.
• The Call of It'slâmwâ – The psionic pull toward death, guiding them to their destined fate.

Communion

The Mother and Father Communion Elder Valorèin often pray and commune with the Mother and Father. They often receive answers and blessings. Sadly, their descendants lost this ability to commune during adulthood until Bonded.

Parenthood

Parenthood is a Sacred duty. With the decline in population after the Elder Valorèin Rebellion, the strickening of the Curse, and the start of The One War, breeding became mandatory. A Lifemates family may contain as many as twenty children.

Sex

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. 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. 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 climax, which they do together, they may pass out.

Nudity

Nudity is Divine. Many non-Valorik Species view nudity as distasteful, inappropriate, or even a sinful. In classical Valorik artwork, the Mother and Father are depicted in a nude or semi-nude state. In modern are The Mother is depicted in white robes with her right breast exposed, back, buttocks, and her legs exposed and the 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. Zelka at the age of fourteen Lethurèan Years or 38 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.

Technology & Warfare

Despite their spiritual nature, Elder Valorèin are Elderly advanced warriors:

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 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 Ritual performed by the Sherok.
• Valorèin – The overarching species of which Elder Valorèin are a subset.
• Only Elder Valorèin that were not cursed can still pass down their Elder Valorèin [[
