Soconey

The great race of Soconey is the first of the Calney to be created, rather than born. Every Drakney in existence is born to match one Mortarai child. If one finds their match, they can become one as a Soconey.

The Mark

Once the connection is made, a mark will appear on the chest of both Mortarai and Drakney. The symbol looks like a curled staff with three claw marks on one side. It is made of dark black and is like a tattoo. However, if a Soconey is born the mark will become a deep brown and a birthmark. 

Limitations and Heritage

The Soconey gene is dominant when passed on to another generation. However, they have no connection to a Drakney and can be free from the bonds that restrict certain things. They can become much more powerful than a created Soconey because of this.

When the Mortarai finds their Drakney, they must only use magic connected to the element or elements the Drakney has naturally. Their life is tied to their Drakney. They are invincible on their own but if their match is killed their life will end.

The Soconey who find their companion is called the first generation. If they have children with another Soconey either made or born, that child is a “pure” Soconey and is always seen in high regard. 

Magic

A Soconey, like the Elvaney, knows the true language of Nionian by nature. This is because they need always to find the truth before using any spell. Spells and rituals can be said in any language of Nionian, but those said in Nionian are the most potent. Soconey can easily pick up any language quickly if they witness someone speaking it long enough in their presence.

If they reach their centennial birthday, they are able to learn teleportation. If they master this skill, they can earn the privilege of travelling to different worlds.

It is said that the half-brother of the great god Shiconen, Zehikari, has taken some of these Soconey into the prison world of Moranko to give magic to that world. Magic that can help guide the special demigods of various pantheons.
