Shadow-dwelling xenosapient species from the dark world Vorth.
Vortha are shadow-dwelling humanoids from Vorth, a world shrouded in perpetual darkness. Their bodies are covered in dark, chitinous plates that allow them to blend into the shadows. Vortha reproduce through a process of cloning, where a mature individual creates a genetic copy of itself that grows into adulthood. Their society is structured around secretive clans, with each clan governed by a council of elders. Vortha are highly adaptable and can see perfectly in the dark. They are often employed as assassins and spies, though their alien psychology makes them poor diplomats.
