The Dorvai are people from the country of Tol'Dorvai and are followers of the Guardians of the Divine SparkTheir society is a strict caste based society in which the caste that you are born into and how honorably you act in fulfilling your castes role and place in society matter. A person is their caste and it is almost impossible for one to change the caste they are born into and they believe that only through devoting themselves to their place in society and fulfilling their caste role can one be reborn into a higher caste in the next life. The only normal exceptions to changing one's caste in life are when one is consigned to become a slave for crimes or because of tradition or when one sometimes is allowed to go into religious seclusion and training to devote themselves to service of a god and must spend at least a decade in such service before they can begin their life as the lowest member of the religious caste. The six castes and their order (from highest to lowest) of Dorvai are High Caste, Religious Caste, Warrior Caste, Freeman Caste, Serf Caste, and Slave Caste.     The Dorvai take their name from their first emperor and greatest hero Dorvai Tran and in his honor his people took his name and their country Tol Dorvai was named for him. Among the Dorvai there is one dominant bloodline which is the standard Dorvai bloodline and one recessive bloodline, the @Zerai which accounts for about 5% of Dorvai and is a seemingly random manifestation of Mórrígan gift to the Dorvai during the Chaos War, this gift typically begins to manifest itself with the onset of puberty and transforms the Dorvai into a Zerai.
