Voracism
Might is Right-to-Rule
Due to a long-running cultural conflation of state & spiritual affairs in Voran society, it should be noted that Voracism, in and of itself, is not a comparably religious concept to other Destrean schools of thought. The Voracic faithful are, in essence, an extremist sect of Elementists who view Vorac'nath'al as the rightful ruler of not only the Voran Empire, but of the realm as a whole. Their worship of the Voran state is evidently an extension of this mindset, as the faith itself has come to embody the assumed superiority & vast ambition of the Elder Dragon, and her people.
Voracic Blood Rites
An outlawed practice still thought to be kept, in secret, by followers of Voracism, which states that their victories in battle must be punctuated by the ritualistic consumption of the heart of an enemy combatant. According to myth, when the ritual is undertaken, the organ's consumer shall be infused with arcanic essence from the Elder Dragon herself.
Manifest Elementaris
Dragonkin Supremacy, or 'Manifest Elementaris', is a fundamentalist interpretation of the more holistic schools of Destrean thought, altered to suit the Voracic narrative. It cites the Elementist foundational myth, which claims the races of Destrea were each borne of some element found in nature (i.e. Humans from the dirt, snow, and mud & Orcs from the grass, clay, etc), as justification that the Dragonkin (being of fire, brimstone, etc.) are comparatively superior due to their greater capacity for withstanding of harsh climates.
The Ten Flames
Each of the Elder Dragons is said to have possessed not only the Draconic Aspects (for which The Legionate is so-known), but also a unique flame that could be unleashed by only them. They are (translated from Voraci):
The 1st Flame – Whiteboon, which nourishes.
The 2nd Flame – Goldgust, which tempers.
The 3rd Flame – Redburn, which cleanses.
The 4th Flame – Tawnspurn, which compels.
The 5th Flame – Slatestrike, which levels.
The 6th Flame – Jadelash, which guides.
The 7th Flame – Azurend, which expands.
The 8th Flame – Mauvebright, which spawns.
The 9th Flame – Blackthirst, which condemns.
Various dye sands are used by Voracic Sang'preii (blood-priests) to change the colour of flames produced by their braziers, allowing their faithful to pray to the appropriate flame to suit their calls to the Dragon Mother. The 10th Flame is never to be named.
