Homebrew Sankta Species Details
History
The Sankta first came into creation when the Law took pity upon a tribe of Sarkaz. Granting them halos and linking the Sankta to itself, the Law became the god of the Sankta and their link to the Law allowed them to be able to detect the other Sankta emotions through their halos when within a close vicinity of one another. With one of their own named as the Mouthpiece of the Law, the Sankta began to build what they believed their Sarkazian cousins could never, a society. Closely knit and highly devoted to the Law, Sankta society has and always will be incredibly xenophobic, unallowing of outsiders.
Society
The Sankta live in extremely strict religious communes with few pastors leaving these communes. They spread the word of the Law although few outsiders are allowed into the inner weave of Sankta society due to their extremely xenophobic culture. The Mouthpiece of the Law is the highest position in Sankta society and to go against the Mouthpiece's orders is to be exiled.
Most Sankta do not have close contact with one another nor do they converse very often, due to being able to feel other Sankta emotions through their halos. This leads to a lot of Sankta not knowing how to talk to other Terran races as well as having distrustful views of them.
The Sankta hierarchy typically revolves around one Mouthpiece and then 4 Cardinals, with a Cardinal being appointed Mouthpiece in the case of the death of the current Mouthpiece.
Appearance
The Sankta typically appear to be between 5 and 6 feet tall with bioluminescent pylons attached to their backs that function as wings. Additionally, they have halos above their head that glow a shade of yellow. When Sankta are "Fallen" or are exiled from the community, these halos can break or turn black and Fallen Sankta are known to grow horns back like the Sarkaz.
