Empty Vessel
Unpossessed quori hosts, known as empty vessels, train hard for the day they receive their quori spirits. An empty vessel is taller than the average human, but lightly built, with large, almond-shaped eyes that vary in color. Common colors are black, viridian, or violet, although the eyes change color with the mood of the individual. All empty vessels have pale skin and straight hair that ranges in color from jet black to deep blue or green. By human standards, most empty vessels are strikingly handsome or beautiful, and they possess an unnatural charm and a commanding aura that helps them influence others. Most wear their hair long, and they favor ornate clothing and decorations. Humans born and raised on Sarlona to become vessels receive special training and education, and they are remarkable individuals in their own right.
