Keor

Summary

Keor is an energy or force associated with Volan and the Keor'drin, surrounding and flowing through the planet and its living creatures and shaped by the Volanen through Ayoshen's legacy. ^{*1 *2}

Nature

• Erlayan describes it as a force that surrounds and flows through Volan and all living creatures on the planet. ^*1
• Manipulated by the Volanen under Ayoshen's guidance. ^*2
• Stored or channeled through pendants, cuffs, charms, and related Keor'drin devices. ^{*1 *3}
• Chronomancers and Energists treat keor as something that can be studied alongside Vanished energy fields and perhaps used to brush against time as well as space. ^{*4 *5}
• Rift Stalker traditions tie keor study to dangerous gate research and forbidden experimentation. ^*6

Importance

• Central to understanding Volan's ecology, technology, and spirituality. ^*1
• Keor is most clearly named and described on Volan, where later traditions compare it to Vanished energy fields rather than treating it as a common term on other worlds. ^{*1 *5}
• Serves as the clearest bridge between living beings, Keor'drin artifacts, and the world's deeper history. ^*2
• Later Volan relic activations, route-opening scenes, and other Ayoshen-linked interventions reinforce keor's role in both protection and movement. ^*7
• Its study also divides into orthodox and forbidden paths, with the Rift Stalkers standing as one of the clearest examples of Volanen researchers pushing keor and gate knowledge too far. ^*6
