Introduction

 

The Vallak Tribe is a unit of Fe-Uruks who follow Spirits in accord with the phases of the moon. Each phase is a different Spirit, and said Spirit allegedly becomes more powerful during that period of time. Vallaks are descended from Orcs and Dark Elves, and have strong features that belong to their specific bloodline. 

 

Appearance

 

Blood Vallaks tend to be Half-Breeds with Dark Elven and Orcish ancestry. They range between 5-8” in height and have sharp and muscular body types. Vallak’s hair color tends to favor their Dark Elven Ancestry, meaning most have White or Black hair, which is commonly dyed to indicate what the Valak’s profession is.

 

They have ashen skin tones, usually greys, blacks, or browns, with the occasional  albino. Vallak eyes favor their orcish Ancestors. Rare is it do they have a white to their eyes, it usually being the same color as their iris. Because of their mixed Ancestry the She-Orcs can look deformed and unpleasant to look at, with rough features that tend to be marred whilst in combat.

 

Culture

 

Valak Culture has a healthy mix of Orcish and Elven, with their own twists and unique properties. They speak Blah to show reverence to the Spirits and their Ancestors, though this can also be a symptom of the tusks that many grow as they reach adulthood. They follow the Spirits avidly, though have a polite distaste for beings that take on a more masculine presence, instead favoring Spirits with feminine or no gender presence.

 

The Clan is filled only with women and those not considered men. This practice was started to keep the women from marrying and joining other clans, and has stuck and become something of tradition over the years. Women of the clan are expected to follow a short but strict list of rules.

 

• Marriage to a man is forbidden 

• Breeding with Humans or Dwarves is forbidden

• Following of other Religion is forbidden

• Killing a Sister outside of Honorable Klomp is forbidden

• Thieving from a Sister is dishonorable and is forbidden

 

Traditions

 

The Aggid

 

When a Valaks comes of age she is to undergo the Vallak Trials. The Trials vary depending on which specific Bloodline they hail from, but the result is the same no matter what. If failed, they are to wait a year before reattempting the trials. If they pass however, they undergo the Aggid. 

 

The Aggid is when the Vallak lays down on their back or chest and receives a redstone tattoo specific to their Clan. This is a permanent sign of their loyalty, and ensures one can’t float from family to family. During the painful process they have to remain still and conscious. Falling Unconscious is a sign that they are still children, and have to complete their Aggid at a later date.

 

Births

 

Because of the curse of Infertility having a healthy child is very rare for the Vallaks. Most pregnancies end is misscarriage or in the death of the mother. When a child and mother come through the birth healthy and alive, there is great celebration to be had. The Vallaks spend the next two years praising all the spirits and hosting a cleaning of the babe and mother in the light of the moon. It is said that depending on when the child is born, they have the favor of one of the Spirits. Most dedicate their life to their birth Spirit.

 

Color

 

Color of dress and color in general is very important in the daily lives of the Vallaks. Each color tells of an omen and meaning, and while none are considered taboo it’s a statement to be made on certain occasions.

 

Color | Omen | Meaning

 

Red | Bloodshed | Victory, Battle, Life

Orange | Bountiful Harvest | Food, Wealth, Health

Yellow | Watcher’s Blessing | Energy, Spirituality, Power

Green | Sickness, Decline | Illness, End of a Cycle, Death

Blue | Fertility, Signs of Child | Fertility, Sky, Children

Purple | Spirit’s Watching | Magic, Nature, Connection

Pink | Love & Emotional Connection | Love, Bonds, Relationships

Grey | Great Disfavor | Depression, Sadness, Disgust 

White | Laura’s Blessing | Mourning, Moonlight

Black | Negative Intent | Night, Naivety, Melancholy 

 

Hair Styling 

 

Vallak’s have very strong opinions on hair and it’s uses. While dangerous to have lengthier hair in combat, the Vallak’s see it as a sense of pride. The longer the hair is the more combat has been seen and won. It is common to see the hair done in an updo or braided to keep out of the way. When a Vallak loses an honor klomp or battle, they cut off the majority of their hair. Sometimes keeping the length as a reminder of their failure. 

 

Mating and Bonding

 

Vallaks do not marry or become life mates with men, but are still expected to produce children. CA Vallak can be approached for mating, but will only do so that any female born would go on to join the Vallaks, while any males would join the father’s clan if he has one. 

 

While they cannot become life mates with men, they are allowed to do so with other women. The Clan leader must be informed of such a union, and this must be done after the Vallak has children or swears off having kubs.
