Voiren

"'A pale and sleek creature leans ominously invigorated by magical energies. Its eyes pierce into your soul, and long fangs betray its ancestry's dark historical secrecy.' - Valengar's Studies on: The Torian Races and Culture"

History:

The Voiren, along with the Raigo, have long descended from a race known as the Kethlahar, which existed some time during the Pre-Amnbheric era, settling natively on Duskar. Ancient Duskar was known to be a great infection site for vampirism, which sparked the great Vampiric Purge of Duskar in 14X[Xenoxi] AAE[After Amnbheric Era]. The survivors fled to the far uninhabited island of Kongorie, living in seclusion and hatred of the world. Eventually this hatred dispersed and around ~1.1 Matans later, birthed a new race that forever changed the island of Kongorie. Descending from isolated vampiric Kethlahars, Voirens are magically adept creatures and even tend to value themselves as the most magically superior race of Tor. They can be arrogant regarding their history, but typically live up to the standards they raise so high. In time, Kongorie began to reflect the traits of the Voi themselves, and possess extraordinary uniqueness apart from most all environments, earning its respect and adoration in all of Tor. In the Great Cryasillian War, the Voi sided with the Thargoth in helping to defend Chight from the Draconic invaders of Earancor. Their efforts in combination formed the first long time tor covenant known as the Redflank, which is still in effect today.

Culture:

The Voi are a very proud race, not of their history, but their current standing and the name that they've made for themselves. Their governing system is run by a single house that does not aim to govern its people, being the Vox Disciple. The disciples are renown for being the most powerful mages of Tor, and strive to master all forms of magic. Their knowledge is what places them in charge of the Voi, and their natural instinct and magical aid help them to govern Kongorie at a level even more adeptly than a trained leader. The Voi value the ancient magical leader known as Vox, which has been speculated to not be his actual name. Their culture values intelligence, and the ability to eschew personal emotions for the greater good. Many Voi come across as emotionless machinations, bred that way from birth. One must not mistake their views for apathy, for they take inaction as a forward insult. Additionally, the colors red and white are iconically sacred to them, and even show on their infamous Bloodfox Cult's flag- the most renown cassivary group of Tor, which also lended its aid to the Voi Empire during the Great Cryasillian War.
