Chapter 13: The Holy Alliance of Cora

The Holy Alliance of Cora Race Statistics:

Life Expectancy: 200 years
Procreation: 3 Months
Time taken to reach adulthood: 16 years
Social Background:

Decem has created the world to turn oblivion into beauty, and the Corites to enforce His will. Knowing they are the chosen race, Corites have organized their society accordingly to their faith in their god. Everything they do in “This Life” is to ascend to a high station or being, gaining them a closer relationship with their god. It is evident that those who do enforce His will are granted more powers, abilities and become stronger in the use of the Darkling Force, the most precious gift Decem has made to His children.

Corite society is based on a caste system of governance. This caste system is by abilities; the Corites are organised into their castes solely based on their relevant skills in life, their devotion and their dedication to Decem’s will. In this way, the castes function much like that of old ‘tribal clans’ where priests were of a higher station than warriors and they in turn were of a higher station than workers. One’s strength in the Darkling Force and capacity to serve Decem and enforce His commands set their caste. The Spiritualist is the highest caste because they have the gifted strength in the Darkling Force.

The entire populous is grouped into one of these castes; once in a caste, the other members become your family, blood relationships are not a priority amongst the castes. Indeed, nothing is to be put before Decem, and marriage is not to be allowed because of the conflicts that could arise between family and god. Because everything Corites do reflects on she/he to their god, their children of course are a direct reflection on them. Seeking out the best possible mate to have children with is a very major decision. Corite children are raised in schools and only staying with their parents during vacations and Holy celebration's. The Corites use the term Sires for parents, not showing either one mother/father as more important than the other.
