Varlarian Information
Racial name: Varlarians
Home world: Varlar
Capital City: Var Illanor
The Varlarians are considered an offshoot of the Vulcan race, one that separated years before the events of Surak. They were said to have left Vulcan as a small group of several families looking for another world. They found it in Earths’s 6th century, a distant planet where they grew and changed. They adapted to the lush jungles, high mountains, and lush tropics and the much more temperate climate of their new world which they called Varlar. They settled in, and formed clans, and the splinter group took the name Varlarians.

History:
The Varlarians are considered an offshoot of the Vulcan race, one that separated years before the events of Surak. They were said to have left Vulcan as a small group of several families looking for another world. They found it in Earths’s 6th century, a distant planet where they grew and changed. They adapted to the lush jungles, high mountains, and lush tropics and the much more temperate climate of their new world which they called Varlar. They settled in, and formed clans, and the splinter group took the name Varlarians.
The Original Clans were:
Vaharice - Lowlands - Built the capital Var Illanor
Najahar - Mountains - Built their cities and Villages on the slopes of Mountains
Endartha - Coastal Areas - Built into coastal cliff faces.
Kylldahar - Jungles - this group built their villages and cities in the canopy Layer of the jungles and rainforests
Feldyrra - Jungles - Unlike their Kylldahar cousins, this clan built their cities on the jungle floor.
Cerelim - Mountains - Built cities deep within the mountains themselves.
Nammoran - Lowlands - Cities half built underground or in crevices
Xandalar - Deserts - Nomads, who wander the desert, water diviners and are very much at home in the heat. Children from these clans are sent to other cities for education.
Syndartha - Coastal, eventually they built their cities under water.
Note: These clans have since grown, evolved and many families can trace their ancestry back to one of the founding clans. Of the Founding clans, only 5 families remain. - Vaharice, Endartha, Cerelim, Xandalar and Sydartha. Other newer clans have grown in stature.
After nearly two centuries of peaceful enjoyment, a war broke out between two family clans. In Earth’s 8th Century, one of these factions, won and peace settled. The losing faction was exiled and sent into space. No one knows what happened to them.
The winning Clan, was known as the Vaharice Family, crowned themselves rulers of the planet. And for another 5 centuries, they ruled by decree, until King Zelphar the XVI came to power.
The government who served at his pleasure revolted at his attempts to drain the planet’s natural resources past what was needed to maintain their small fleet of vessels and their small cities. They overthrew the king, and set in place the current form of government - A Constitutional Monarchy. The Royal family became figureheads. The planet prospered and built several warp capable vessels and maintained the balance within their planet. In the 15th Century however, the Royal family changed due to marriage to the house of Eilynore. The Eilynore family’s dynasty continues to the current day, in which his Royal Majesty, King Rhiah Eilynore the X rules.
Cities were built in tune with natural surroundings, in jungles and in mountains. Over the eons there was limited trade with other races, including their cousins. In Earth’s mid 18th Century, the Varlarians met their distant cousins, the Vulcans, in peace. The Vulcans were not impressed with the Varlarians’s less logical ways. The Varlarians had only a few Vulcan traits left to be perfectly honest, their ears were pointed and their blood was still green. Varlarians embrace passion, They embrace knowledge and even logic though they do not allow it to dictate their actions. They embrace nature and they are excellent craftsmen and women. Poetry, Literature, music, culture abounds and there is little reason for war, though they do have a standing army, but it is called a defense force. The Vulcans did open trade but their cold stern logic often put the Varlarians off from dealing too much with them. Both Genders are equal. And they have no distinction when it comes to romance. Love whoever you want. Same Gender Couples are granted the same rights as more ‘traditional’ (for lack of a better word) couples.
In 2278, Varlarians were admitted to the Federation despite being of Warp Capable planet for nearly 2000 years. They had been loath to join because of the influence of the Vulcans and Andorians. The Varlarians fist sent an exchange officer in 2290, but they returned home 3 years later, and refused to say why. This lead to the Varlarians retreating even more from the military side of the Fleet. They had doctors, scientists and engineers which they shared without qualms but they refused to send anyone to serve on Starfleet vessels. This Edict remained in place until 2374, when the Dominion war threatened everyone. The Varlarians provided Medical supplies and such to the Federation and while their world was not directly threatened, they sent three of their most heavily defensive ships to assist in the conflict.
This appearance by one of the Federations most reclusive member worlds was shocking but welcomed. After the war, the Varlarians agreed to send more of their people to Starfleet. A total of 3 per year were selected. Most went into Engineering, or Medical, a few into Science but none into Security or Tactical. This process commenced in 2380. Since then, a total of 48 Varlarians have joined Starfleet.
Varlarians still wear archaic clothing when on their home world, clothes made from Leather and other natural based materials. They are a culture of Artists and explorers. They respect nature.
They worship a small pantheon of gods, all mostly to do with nature and the universe. Despite this, they are wonderful scientists and enjoy space travel. They do not see the conflict in these pursuits. In fact they see it as a boon, as they believe that the gods were created to assist them in their pursuits.
One thing, do not call them Vulcans or Romulans. It is a grave insult. That said, they are very close to their Romulan cousins due to the similarity in culture when it comes to being more about the emotional side of things.
Culture:
Varlarians are peaceful, with only a few wars in their history, and none since the formation of the current government system.
Guests are always welcome in the homes of the Varlarians, and doors are never locked against those in need.
Varlarians greet people by placing their fingertips on opposite elbows and bowing their heads to the other person.
Varlarians do not wear shoes inside their houses.
On their homeworld they wear clothes made from Leather and other natural based materials. Depending on where they live, depends on if these are close fitting, or loose or heavy or light in fabric and colour.Fancy clothes are reserved for special occasions and celebrations.
A Varlarian is of age at the age of 25.
School starts at age 4 and goes until they are 17 before they go to higher learning or into a trade.
Do not call them Vulcans or Romulans. It is a grave insult. Though they are more like their Romulan brethren than the Vulcans.
And though they are peaceful, they do have as a race a temper, when pressed or insulted. Individuals are not hampered by lack of emotion and while they prefer peace, they are like other races, where they have their own emotional storms.
Between the ages of 30 and 70, Varlarian Males are considered the most fertile
Between the ages of 35 and 60 Females are the most fertile.
Marriage happens after a Varlarian turns 40 on average, though some do marry earlier and later.
Both Genders are equal. And they have no distinction when it comes to romance. Love whoever you want.
Same Gender Couples are granted the same rights as more ‘traditional’ (for lack of a better word) couples.
Marriage happens between both same and mixed gender couples.
They do not marry outside their race however. They can have and have had Varlarians who have had relationships with other races but none have married outside their race nor bore a child of a hybrid status. It is not done.
There have never been half Varlarians either, and that includes other Vulcanoid Races.
Their Religion has 8 deities and while they are known in name only to outsiders, religious practices are considered private and while there are temples and such they are closed to outsiders and no Varlarian will discuss which of the pantheon they worship or if they worship none.
Marriage Ceremony:- Varlarians have a tradition - When they marry, they are tattooed on their left middle finger, a glyph of their spouse’s family name.
