Val'Kyorl'solenurn
From The Orthorbbae Library
Purity, discipline and zeal: these are the calling cards of the Val’Kyorl’solenurn, the only remaining Val drowussu clan. Indoctrinated at birth, clan members are brought up to actively despise and purge impurities from Chel'el'sussoloth and the world. Nothing draws their hatred more than demonic influences, making them the bane of the tainted Vel clans. To be in their favor is to find security and compassion; to embrace the profane is to be given no quarter.

History
Details on the rise of the Kyorl’solenurn have barely been touched upon in the comic. It can be assumed that they arose during the period when the Sharess religion began to splinter and have been growing in power ever since. As the sole drowussu clan with the title of Val, their racial solidarity undoubtedly appears attractive to grey-skinned hopefuls. The fall of the Val'Dutan'vir during the Nidraa’chal uprising saw many of its former members joining the ranks of the Kyorl’solenurn, increasing the clan’s strength even further.
Culture and Politics
The Kyorl’solenurn are a very different clan compared to others, possessing a unique culture that impacts everything from social structure to diplomatic ties. At their core the Kyorl’solenurn are staunch followers of their own religious doctrine that venerates the spirit of Sharess. Core to their faith is the acknowledgement that Sharess sacrificed her body to seal the demonic forces unleashed during the Great Wars, and it is the duty of all drow to keep the barrier between the two worlds intact and purge any hints of demonic essence that might pass through.
Championing their mission to keep the material world free of impurity, the clan is most infamously known for their convictional, often overzealous drive to achieve these ends. Ver’droendar that encounter the Kyorl’solenurn, even in the midst of their everyday routines, can expect an immediate attempt on their lives unless they are adequately protected or outnumber their assailants. Those of untainted auras who consort with tainted are captured and “cleansed,” a form of brainwashing that wipes away any positive associations with the demon infested. Any who bear the taint must be hunted down regardless of guilt; though they have purged countless demon summoners from the world their blades have also fallen mercilessly upon plenty of those who harbor demon seeds unwillingly. A Kyorl’solenurn similarly defiled is expected to take their own life, and many a Templar or Warden has more than willingly fallen upon their own blade.
Though far from hermits like the Val'Jaal'darya, the Kyorl’solenurn have a preference to keep to themselves. Nearly every member of the clan is a drowussu, the exceptions going to a rare few drowussu-drowolath half-bloods who generally must work harder to advance due to the clan’s pervasive xenophobia. Soldiers on patrol have a strong tendency to posture themselves as coolly professional, but as there are no axioms barring welfare, altruism is not uncommon.
Obviously the clan’s headstrong opposition to anything demonic has put them it at violent odds with the Vel clans of Chel'el'sussoloth. Though the might and authority of the Sharen prevent open conflict between the two, the Vel’Vloz’ress find themselves in frequent, vicious contention with the drowussu clan. Their relations with the Val clans are much more cordial, but truly strong diplomatic ties are meager. Few are willing to let their own political interactions be influenced by an ally that differentiates friend from enemy by the color of their eyes.
The Kyorl'solenurn sport various Orders that serve to preserve the Kyorl structure and systems of orderly functioning. Kyorl'solenurn Orders are many, and their members serve various roles, such as Templars, Wardens, and Inquisitors.
Clan Fortresses and Properties

The Kyorl'solenurn lands are a brightly lit swath of land cut from the darker recesses of the city. The section is walled off from the rest of Chel, and composes almost entirely of free Drowussu and a handful of mixbloods. White and other light colors dominate the scenery, and its orderly people and customs are reflective of the hard lined religious clan that leads them.
