Quorlu
Quorlus are an alien species that hail from a world with a highly active geology and thin atmosphere. They have a unique physiology that is silicon-based, and their exterior is a crystalline lithic shell that protects their crystal-fiber organ structures. Quorlus live in warrens in the planet’s exposed stony crust, where they dig for minerals that they consume for sustenance. Their society is built around crystal farming, where they grow gypsum, quartzes, and salts for food.
Quorlus value experiences more than material possessions, and they have a cultural acceptance of impermanence and resilience to loss due to the violent tectonic activity of their planet. When their settlements are damaged, they repair them but do not rebuild where destruction is likely to occur again. Although they can be tough combatants, they are not naturally inclined towards warfare and prefer peace and positive new experiences.
Quorlus have a tonal and trilling language that includes subtle vibrations that are pleasing to shirrens, who are sensitive to delicate vibrational shifts. Their voices are also known to be soothing to other sapient species. Due to their unique physiology, they are vulnerable to certain sonic frequencies, and extreme cold can temporarily hinder their endothermic reactions.
