Orei is a planet unlike any other in the galaxy. It is a small planet made entirely of a special form of electricity, which the Oreians have learned to harness and use to create constructs that float above the planet's surface. The constructs range in size from communal cities to massive constructs that hold up mountains, plains, and deserts. All constructs are connected by a complex network of bridges and walkways.
The Oreians are a unique race of beings, standing taller than the average human and possessing a natural affinity for manipulating and controlling the energy that makes up their world. Each Oreian has a unique blue face tattoo on their cheekbones made from metal, which serves as both a symbol of their identity and a means of channeling their power.
Orei is a planet that revolves around the concept of peace, and the Oreians are committed to maintaining it throughout the galaxy. Their Peacekeepers are dispatched to other planets to maintain harmony and prevent violence, often making them an enemy to more aggressive species.
Despite their commitment to peace, Orei is not without its own forms of punishment. Breaking a serious law on Orei results in banishment to the planet's moon, which is ruled by seven tribes representing the seven main constructs of Orei. The tribes are fierce and often hostile to outsiders, and survival on the moon is not likely.
The 7 tribes are based off of the constructs of Orei. The tribe names are: Eskaa, Meilo, Keteka, Zonxel, Kichok, Wynog, and Taral. The names of the seven constructs are:
Oska (Aws-kuh; mountainous construct known for its skilled craftsmen and nomads. They are the primary producers of Orei's technology and weaponry.),
Omiel (Oh-me-ell; peaceful and artistic community. Known for skill in music, warrior-dances, connection to Orei's mystic arts, and poetic Oreian dialect.),
Oteka (Oh-tech-uh; Largest construct. Political and cultural hub of Orei, Oteka is home to the monarchy and the royal council. Its residents are skilled in diplomacy, strategy, and administration. They speak a dialect of Oreian that is very sharp and straightforward. Outside of the royal area, citizens speak the basic dialect.),
Ozel (Oh-zell; The primary food production construct, Ozel houses vast fields and farms that provide food for all of Orei. Its residents are skilled in agriculture and resource management. Speak in a somewhat crude and rural dialect.),
Ochok (Oh-chalk; This construct is dedicated to scientific research and technological advancement. Known for expertise in engineering, robotics, and other sciences. This construct speaks the basic dialect of Oreian.),
O’nog (Oh-nawg; This construct is dedicated to the study and preservation of Oreian history and culture. Its residents are known for their expertise in archaeology, anthropology, and related fields. Many elderly Oreians reside in this district. They speak an ancient form of Oreian, which the basic dialect is derived from. The basic dialect, however, is influenced by languages outside of Orei.),
Otar. (Oh-tawr; Military district located on the outskirts of Oteka, the capital city of Orei. It is home to a large number of Oreian soldiers and their families, as well as various military facilities and training grounds. Otar is heavily guarded and fortified, with strict access control measures in place to ensure the safety and security of its residents. Speaks basic dialect.)
Orei is a small planet, so resources are often brought in via trading with allied planets. The Oreians are skilled negotiators and have built strong alliances throughout the galaxy, but they are always wary of those who might try to exploit their unique energy source.
Despite their differences, the seven main constructs of Orei are united under the same monarchy and law. All constructs share a deep sense of pride in their planet and their commitment to peace.
Oreian prophecy:
From the wisest of Oreians these words have been taken,
Of a daughter to be born, whose power will awaken.
In the 43rd line of a family long known,
This child will come forth, with a gift to be shown.
From the roots of her bloodline, this gift will arise,
Unleashing a power that will light up the skies.
Her path will be treacherous, full of peril and strife,
But her strength will shine brighter than the stars in the night.
The substance of Orei, our rare form of light,
Will be born from this child, with a power so bright.
A creator of worlds, this child will be,
The future of Orei, she makes the key.
A distant birth, a destined fate,
A door to new power, she is the gate.
