Temple of Cha

The Temple of Cha is the only organized body of vorcha during the Crucible Era.

History & Government
The temple was established on the extremely hostile planet Vorkek, only after every other species stranded in the local cluster established colonies. The vorcha brought by the blood pack were extremely diminished by the final assault on the reapers, down to 200 individuals.

These individuals were rejected rights to colonize on all other worlds, including Tenchanka, they attempted to make their way out of crucible space but ended up settling on a hostile dangerous world nobody else wanted.

Even then it was decades before an organized government was established. The vorcha numbers swelled, but without a unifying purpose small wars broke out, when the population hit 10,000 (in a mere fourty years) a group of vorcha banded together to improve the quality of their lives.

What little information they could gather of their ancient customs and religions from their long forgotten homeworld was used to set up a religious institution. It was hugely successful, and soon the vorcha rejoined the galactic community.

Vorkek
A highly dangerous world, with high gravity and days thirty earth days in length. It is inhabited by extremely dangerous forms of life, and is prone to acidic rains.

Beliefs & Culture
Violence is a way of life for the vorcha, children of one year old are taken and beaten until they chose what they wish to do with their lives, they spend their entire lives mastering a single art or science, make their contributions, and perish!

In the final year of an important vorchas life, a burner, a vorcha priest comes and burns that vorchas story into the vorchas skin. Rips the skin from the vorchas back, turns it to leather, and repeats until the vorchas life story is complete.
