	*Green - Artists, or green class, are called the '''[[Meges-Dhola]]'''. Those chosen for their aptitude for the arts are green, a symbol of vibrance in nature.

	Apart from the skin colors, Vurg wear attire that can further denote which type of profession they belong to, essentially matching up with a color that best describes what they do. For example, a servant who works alongside government officials might have black skin but wear grey clothing. A soldier trained in interrogation and torture might have red skin and wear blue clothing. There is also some measure of cross-class proficiency, depending on the profession. For example, an architect might be predominantly a Meges-Dhola who is also trained in engineering, so they would have green skin with white clothing. Such an individual might also wear a mixture of both white and brown.

	Vurg are a cybernetically enhanced race of humanoid that no one knew existed until just after the rise of the [[Clavic Empire]]. A handful of them appeared out of nowhere in different parts of the world, and they come from the remote island of [[Vir]]. Of the handful that have appeared and offered their services to humanity, they are almost exclusively seen in the courts of nobility, particularly the emperor [[Vralius]]. Even these elite social and political powerhouses don’t know much about them, nor does anyone know of their purpose or their motives other than their desire for the substance [[byrridium]] for use in their technology (which they have vowed to share), and the search for a new home.

			Of the handful that have appeared and offered their services to humanity, they are almost exclusively seen in the courts of nobility, particularly the emperor [[Vralius]].

	All Vurg speak the [[Virian]] language, though the emmissaries all speak Canderian; they can at times, however, use their [[Skarthen\|thralls]] for translation. They, being an ancient race, are also taught [[High Vinthish]]. How they came to understand [[Canderian]] is a mystery to humans, as is how their interpreters came to know Virian. The Vurg thus far have emissaries in [[Clavermark]], [[Lothlan]], [[Aeryl]], [[Linmark]], [[Praul]], and [[Scurn]]. Their presence has been denied in [[Andermark]], [[Gruenormark]], [[Ildoria]], and [[Terismark]]. Remaining nations have not been officially petitioned yet.

	In order to make the transition into adulthood, all Vurg must endure an intensely painful rite of passage called the [[~~Medensatona~~]] (meaning "agony ritual" in Virian). The first portion of the rite involves plucking every hair from the body to make way for the removal of the natural skin (although this is done on a regular basis from birth), which is later replaced with a synthetic. The eyes, nose, ears, and nails are also removed prior to the installation of the new skin, and they are fitted with special sensory devices to replace the natural sensory organs, along with a vocal transmitter that enables them to communicate. The mouth is permanently wired shut. Prior to this, any alignment or deformities in the teeth are corrected so the mouth is aligned properly. They are also fitted with a special port which is used for feeding. Most of their feeding is done through this external port, but other nutrition is administered intravenously. Included in this special compound is a chemical that prevents hair and nails from growing.

	Since humans do not go through this rite -- it is forbidden for anyone outside the race to undergo the ritual -- they do not fully understand pain (the only known exception to this rule happened when Commander [[Sleika]], who is a torturemaster, skinned Doctor [[Talmage]] alive and installed yellow synthetic skin as punishment for betraying the [[Vralius Claverian\|Emperor]]).

			The Vurg are also in possession of one of two remaining [[Eari Stones]], the other being with the [[Attawa]]. How they came into possession of the artifact is a mystery.
