KNOWN SLAVERS - RAIDING PIRATES

Sentient species of the Downward sector. Semi nomadic with a life style similar to the Dai Than .

Sister civilization to the Zorin. The Zarin are an offshot of the Zorin. They separated from the Zorin about 2500 years ago due to a leadership conflict. The Zorin picked a central leader  that was the beloved daughter of their greatest leader (Bohn Abble the Zorin  ) and much more capable leader then her brother. She became the first  female Absolutor of the Zorin. This let to a long and bloody feud as 71 of the 130 Family leaders left the High Table and refused to accept the leadership of Bohra Abble.

The Seventy one families gathered around Addfear Zorin, the son of Bohn Abble and brother of Bohra Abble. The  split families rejected any female leadership and cited traditions and other arguments. They called themselves Zarin, a distinct male term for the species.

The feud intensified several generations later when a Zarin leader killed the female Absolutor of the Zorin in a ritualistic fight and ended only about 400 years ago with a mutual declaration of accepting the others as an independent society.

While the Zorin embrace mystical and spiritual values, expressed in their appearance and design, the Zarin embrace technology and reject all religious aspects of their roots.
