Background:

Relann is of Dy’allan heritage and was born on the planet Corsa; home to two peoples, the Dy’allans and the Corsans. Little is known about the planet or its peoples, other than what has been shared by Relann herself. The Federation has had no contact with this world as it is far outside its borders. The Dy’allans call their planet Molaida (which means place of our souls).

Relann has mental abilities unique among the majority of her people. She possesses empathic abilities and touch telepathy. However with her own people and those she is emotional close with, her telepathy does not require a physical connection. She has a finely honed intuition and can often assess people and situations within the first few seconds. These gifts are hereditary and for reasons unknown, are usually passed only to the first child born in the family. This individual is referred to as a Chihao.
Additionally, Relann was born to a noble family that dates back over one thousand years. The family is highly regarded in Dy’allan society. Relann hold the title ‘Lady of Morlarain’.

The Dy’allans are a deeply spiritual people. Their faith is integral to their society. They believe that all living things are born from the energy of the universe and refer to this energy as ‘the Spirits’. This implies a deep connection to each other. This connection makes up what the Dy’allans call their Molai. Because of this, the Dy’allans are pacifists, believing that to willing harm another living being out of malice is to harm oneself. The Dy’allans believe that when one dies, their energy must be returned to the Spirits. As a result they choose to be cremated and have their ashes scattered over the ground or in water, to be mixed and mingled with the energy of their world.

The Dy’allan Faith is overseen by the Clerics of Avora, the ancient order that first brought the Dy’allans together. Most Chihao become Clerics in the order, although it is not mandatory. The Coming of Age Ceremony formally confers the title of Cleric upon the initiate at the age of 20.

While the Dy’allans and Corsans have generally coexisted peacefully, there were periods of conflict. Small portions of the Corsan population feared the Chihao and their unique abilities and as a result distrusted all Dy’allans. Coming together, these individuals formed a group called the Gofarn Faction, who sought to restrict the rights of the Dy’allans and keep the Chihao under close observation. When Relann was 17, the Corsan Militia, under the command of General Quorto (a member of the Gofarn Faction), overthrew the democratic government and soldiers. Quorto installed himself as the Supreme Ruler. He imposed harsh laws against the Dy’allans and segregated the populations. The Dy’allans were excluded from attending Corsan run schools and from employment in any official governmental positions. A year after the coup, Quorto ordered the military to eradicate the Dy’allans.
