MOREH/MORAH
Overview
The Moreh/Moreh are individuals who have been imbued with innate preternatural affinity, empowering them to perform exploits of power that are impossible by natural means. Moreh/Morah are found throughout most of the lands of Shonria, primarily noted to be commonly found in the nations of Gershom & Astoria. Moreh/Morah are the fierce rivals to all mages (including warlocks/witches), are well-known for their staunch opposition to the magical arts, and for their faith in an powerful Godhead. Etymology
The terms Moreh/Morah originates in the Habiru language, spoken by the tribes of Gershom before being found in other lands. The term is defined as “Sage” with the Moreh denoting a male Sage, while Morah describes a female Sage. While the term Sage can describe a person of wisdom (or Chakham in Habiru), these terms point to individuals who are blessed with supernatural power via their Archos.
CAPABILITIES OF MOREH/MORAH
Moreh/Morah are capable of astounding feats of power due to the presence of their Archos, which is both a power and realm unique to each individual. The Archos of each Moreh/Morah enables them to wield an array of powers, according to the desires and nature of said wielder. A Moreh/Morah can further increase the powers within their Archos by training in dimensions of refuge, and by entering special times of fasting.
The Archos of each Moreh/Morah also grants them preternatural attributes to their bodies, allowing them to do physical feats that would be impossible even for the most physically fit man or beast to do.
Preternatural Attributes:
Moreh/Morah also have access to the different disciplines of power (also called paths) that are apart of the many things that Archos provides. These disciplines are made to teach each Moreh/Morah how to harness the power sets that their individual Archos provides, as no one Archos gives the same powers to their wielder. The paths do grow and evolve as more revelation-knowledge about Archos is gained.
Due to these disciplines of power been established, each Moreh/Morah can choose which to undertake according to whatever their Archos manifests within their very being. From there, each individual Moreh/Morah must master everything related to the path(s) of power they are manifesting. These are the currently known Disciplines of Power, although among the Moreh/Morah are hints of more to the revealed.
