Gorgornia are lamia/gorgon like creatures that reside in Sayato Deserts of Kairon and Metraania, and desert isles of Frelandi. They are the only humanoid creature that can safely live or travel in the deserts. They live mostly harmoniously amongst Sasorin and other desert dwelling creatures.

Basic Quing

All Gorgornia have a sepentine lower half that ends with a 'rattler'. They have claw-like fingers that are exceptionally long and all Gorgornia have snakes for hair. They can be any length and will regrow if cut. They are often styled similar to African hairstyles.

They have large, cat-like and serpentine eyes with slit pupils. They have a second set of eyelids that protect their eyes from sand and rocks.Many own or wear special contact lenses that prevent them from petrifying others unintentionally.

Gorgornia come in a range of colours and patterns, and their 'human' portion is covered in the same colour as their serpentine half. Their pointed horns are always black/almost black. There is no dimorphism between sexes of the Gorgornia.

Quing Gorgornia are the leaders of any Gorgornia nest. They are distinct from common Gorgornia, recognised by their white horns, usually vibrant colours with complex markings. They often have dozens of charms and desert talismans that prevent their power from hurting other Gorgornia. As a Quing, their snakes can also petrify others, which often leads to them wearing eye covers or having their eyes removed and replaced by crystals. A Quing's venom is more potent than a common Gorgorni.

For a Celestus to be considered an 'Avias', they must have at least one pair of wings. They can have a horn or no horn, and anything else within your imagination, but wings are a requirement for an 'Avias'.

Eclipse Celestus are considered devil born and are commonly shunned and exiled from the Celestus society. They can feature a range of unique traits: more than 1 horn, leathery wings or half/half wings, msyerious holes in portions of their body or plated, chitin-like material on their body. Some have even been known to control impossible magic abilities like creation of fire and mind control abilities.

Information Diet Breeding and Offspring Culture

Gorgornia used to reside all across Unina, in forests, caves, wide open plains. But during the early days of existence, many Gorgornia were driven out of their homes or killed off due to their ruthless tendencies and caused danger for many other creatures. In Rinalia, they were all killed off with the other 'fantas crea', in Eispaxea they were shipped off to the other countries, where they either died in Rinalia or made it to Kairon and Metraania, where they all evolved to survive in the harsh Sayato desert. That is why the desert dwelling Gorgornia come in such a wide range of colours and patterns, because they hold DNA from other 'types' of Gorgornia.

The Gorgornia are one of the few non-monstrous species to reside within Sayato. They live mostly in harmony with the other creatures. When trading, it is most common that a Gorgorni will travel out of the desert.

Gorgornia are strict carnivores and will hunt in the sands for rodents and medium sized beasts to feed upon. If hunting in a group, they may attempt to bring down a large beast and feed their entire nest.

Gorgorni gestation and offspring mirror snakes. They do not give live birth, instead laying anywhere between 5-25 eggs, which will be buried under the sand for 50-66 days before they will hatch and new Gorgornia will roam wild in the desert, either surviving to reach maturity or being snacked on by larger predators. Once they start maturing they will find a nest or create their own with other rogue Gorgornia.

The culture of a Gorgornia nest changes from nest to nest. Some nests will welcome new Gorgornia and rescue outside travellers from the Sayato beasts and help them recover before escorting them back to the edge of the desert. Whereas others will capture or kill new Gorgorni and kidnap outsiders.

Gorgornia consider the insectoid monsters known as Sasorin as their 'guardians', particularly Marokki, the Guardian of the Deserts. They leave offerings and prayers to the 'king' of the deserts in hopes to appease him and keephim from cuasing tremors strong enough to collapse their homes.

All Celestus are innately born with the ability of telekinesis. With no hands they've learnt to use this magic like they had hands, 'holding' items and wielding weapons, they aso use this to apply accessories or care for their hair. Sometimes, a Celestus can have an additional elemental ability.
