Gorok
Gorok consider themselves to be the children of Rakarn, the Titan of Fire. This is only a metaphorical belief: the races of the Empire predate that of the Titans. Not metaphorically is Rakarn’s presence on the planet. His corpse is the carapace that contains the capital city of Gorok.
Physiology
The Gorok have control over fire and can withstand extremely high temperatures. Horns that function as ears sit on top of their head. The pink tendrils that flow from the top and back of their heads are their reproductive organs. They have a thin tail. They are pale. It is rumored that when Rakarn was alive all Gorok were colored red.
They can withstand temperatures that are beyond that of a typical sun.
Culture
The Gorok are a not-very temperamental people unlike their physical nature leads another Empirian to believe. They are erratic and explosive at times, but the majority of their existence they retain extreme stoicism and mildly-haughty demeanor.
Members of this race contribute to the Empire mainly in the form of scientific professions and infantry. Pyrotechnics and pyromancy are the typical career paths for a Gorok.
Gorok government style is a monarchy, with tribal elements. There is much tradition involved with the highest seat of power in their planet.
Home World
The planet Gorok is surrounded with shields to conserve and regulate temperature while also being able to shroud them from the eyes of the Humans, another member of the solar system Dialona. With Sacon’s newly created Distortion Field around Earth, the cloaking function of the shields is no longer required, but it is still sometimes active.
Their capital city, Rakquan, is built on the corpse of the Titan Rakarn.
