In turn, all of their "technologies" are themselves empowered by the Darkling Force.
Eschewing industrialism, the Corites refine raw materials with the Darkling Force, psychically combining elements to create their devices and weapons in a pollution-free process. This is particularly exemplified by their cooperation with nature, seeking to enhance its beauty while carefully avoiding over-consumption of its resources. With this in mind, Corites are permitted to use only the resources necessary to develop themselves in their never-ending quest to fulfill the will of Decem.
Whatever the truth, it is evident that Corite individuals, members of a race resembling the elves of ancient Terran mythology, have been granted mystical powers and abilities far beyond other races, possessing almost universally superior proficiency in the use of the Darkling Force, a strain of magic power that is seen as the most precious gift Decem has given to His children.Īccording to Corite doctrine, Decem has forbidden His people from harming any planets they inhabit: that they ensure nature's well-being by continually caring for it, for harming the planet would be as unto harming Decem Himself. Every action taken in “this life” is meant to help the individual ascend to a higher station or state of being, gaining them an ever closer relationship with their god. Armed with this legend and seeing themselves as the "chosen race," the Corites have organized their society entirely according to their faith in this deity. It is said that in the beginning the god Decem created two things: the World, to transform oblivion into beauty, and the Corites to enforce His will. The Cora people, united as the Holy Alliance, now battle for their survival using the magical powers drawn from their spiritual beliefs, and traditional weapons blessed by their god, Decem. Though the history of the Cora has been built on religious wars, which has created multiple states and nations, the country is strongly unified through its core religious beliefs. The Holy Alliance Cora is a spiritual civilisation with a firm belief in religion and the magical arts.
