Iyiskû
The Inchoroi ("People of Emptiness" ) were a non-human, mysterious, and obscene race that, according to legend, descended from the void in the Incû-Holoinas .
Physiology
The Inchoroi looked humanoid, described as something old, ancient, and corrupted. They were half a body taller than a man and had curved scythe-like wings folded around their bodies. Their skin was pale and translucent, mottled with cancerous moles. Despite their posture being stooped, they looked huge, especially because of their wings, and their muscles were as dense as stones. Their structure was variegated and at the same time elegant, similar to a skinned fish that was sutured back together. They emanated a strange smell of sweat and fish, and their bodies resembled fluids that emitted sounds like membranes and mucous. Their head was described as being in the shape of a giant skull turned on its side, like an oyster on its tip. An expressionless face was drawn on it, proportionate and plump. The nostrils were bright slits with sockets clogged with bare white flesh. Inside the maw that resembled the crocodile jaws was another skull that filled the mouth of the first and was at the same time fused with the jaw. This one, similar to that of a man, had watery features with nail-like teeth and eyes with a perpetually leering gaze. They always went naked, their pendulous phalluses are described as bruised and lubricated, and their semen was of a pungent black colour. Their feet were claw-shaped, and their hands were cold like a fish. They were a race of monstrosities who rejoiced in the subtlety of the flesh, creating perversities with unheard-of ease. His mere presence was described as an "appetite", their simply touch could make a human surrender to the pleasures of the flesh with ease. The Inchoroi moaned in pleasure with inhuman screams, sounding like dragons, broken glass or thunders. Sometimes their voice was like ice flakes, falling on sweaty skin or like a coughing dog. And the sound of his laughter was like pain blown through broken flutes. When they were about to fight they hunched their shoulders and their eyes turned crimson red, they flew through the air in a vulture-like manner, sweeping the skies in wide circles while their skulls glowed with an arcane light. Culture
Very little is known about them, aside from their apparently limitless capacity for cruelty and their malignant obsession with the carnal. According to some Mandate scholars, the Inchoroi worship the No-God as their saviour. They often refer to themselves as "the race of lovers". Language
The Cincûlic was the undeciphered tongue of the Inchoroi, which the Nonmen called “Cincûl’hisa,” or the “Gasp of Many Reeds.” It has defeated all attempts to decipher it. According to the Isûphiryas , communication between the Cûnuroi and the Inchoroi was impossible until the latter “birthed mouths” and began speaking Cûnuroi tongues. In The Darkness That Comes Before

After being discovered by Mimara in the Mop and having fled from the Wizard Achamian the Thing called Soma called in shrill tones so low that even the dogs could not hear. After leaving the Mop and arriving at the ruins of Kelmeöl the Skin-Spy closely followed the Scalpers arriving at the abandoned campsites tracking the stench of the stool of Mimara. The Skin-Spy preparing to call back on his silent note was interrupted by the arrival of a Synthese , he had been calling to his masters of the Consult , a vessel of the Old Fathers. This Synthese told him that his job was to keep an eye on the Nonman Cleric but Tsuör (the name of the Skin-Spy) told the bird that some things had changed, the Mage was looking for the Coffers and the girl Mimara was pregnant. The Synthese told him that she was not to be harmed and to protect her, apparently her pregnancy were part of some ancient prophecies. Since the Synthese is a vessel of the Old Fathers, the identity of the Inchoroi who spoke to Tsuör is unknown. Later the Skin-Spy Tsuör died defending Mimara from the mad lust of the remaining Skin Eaters . During one of his dreams of the past Achamian saw that he was Anasûrimbor Nau-Cayûti and he was inside a stone sarcophagus, then the sarcophagus tilted and fell down a slope and suddenly Nau-Cayûti found himself in the middle of a commotion of rock fragments, he was on a cemetery. Then he fixed his gaze on his assailant who loomed over him in all his monstrosity, the Inchoroi Aurang . This creature lifted Nau-Cayûti up to his eyes and told him that no one escaped Golgotterath … More visions suggested that the poison merely paralyzed Nau-Cayûti. Iëva was in reality working for the Consult, and made sure to bury her husband alive rather than burning him. When the Wizard Achamian and the Nonman Nil’giccas confront the Wracu in the ruins of the Library of Sauglish , Cleric recognizes the dragon as Wutteät , the Father of Dragons, who after the Apocalypse had made the ruins of Sauglish his den, practically half dead and blind the dragon waited in that place for the world to die, Wutteät told them that he was the first dragon and his bones were made of iron and his skin of bronze, desolation being his birthright the dragon remembered writhing in the void for ages of sailing, having seen his creators descend upon the worlds and reduce the inhabitants of each to one hundred and forty-four thousand, but finding themselves nevertheless still damned. But they had finally reached that one, the promised world , it was he himself, Wutteät with the King Inchoroi Sil on his shoulders the first ones leaving the Ark. In The Great Ordeal

Cet’ingira was sent on an expedition together with two Ishroi into the depths of the Incû-Holoinas by Nil’giccas following the end of the Cûno-Inchoroi Wars. They beheld the Inverse Fire . The two Ishroi, Misariccas and Runidil , were driven to madness by the sight of it, while Cet’ingira appeared able to keep his wits. Upon returning, Cet’ingira advised the King to have the other two killed. Unknown to the others, Cet'ingira had also been affected, and was now wholly convinced of Damnation and the mission of the Inchoroi to shut down the world to the Outside. (Information needed) Purposes
During small truces with the Nonmen the Inchoroi claimed to have descended from the Void in the Incû-Holoinas, victims of a cataclysm that had wrecked them in the World, although it was soon revealed that they had actually come to exterminate all life, destroying all souls so they could close the world against the Outside thus saving the obscenities they called their souls from damnation if they died. Wutteät himself, the Father of Dragons claimed to have traveled, writhing in the void for ages alongside the Ark, to have seen his creators descend upon the worlds like a plague and reduce the inhabitants of each one of them to one hundred and forty-four thousand. However, each time they succeeded in their task (wielding murder as their means of salvation), they still found themselves damned. But they had finally arrived broken and exhausted in that world, [Eärwa], the promised world [Ground ], the land of their redemption.

The Tekne (also known as the Old Science ) was the non- sorcerous craft of the Inchoroi, used to mould abominations out of living flesh. According to various Nonman sources, the Tekne proceeds on the presumption that everything in nature, including life, is fundamentally mechanical. Despite the absurdity of this claim, few dispute the efficacy of the Tekne, as the Inchoroi and the Consult after them have time and again demonstrated the ability to “manufacture flesh.” Mandate scholars claim that the fundamental principles of the Tekne have been long lost, and that the Consult can only proceed in a trial-and-error fashion, on the basis of an incomplete understanding, and using ancient and ill-understood instruments. This ignorance, they claim, is all that preserves the world from the No-God ’s return. Mandate scholars speculate that it was the Inchoroi Aurax who first taught the Tekne to the Mangaecca . - Bashrag

Origins
All of the Inchoroi are the products of successive Graftings, species-wide rewrites of their genotype, meant to enhance various abilities and capacities, such as the ability to elicit certain sexual responses from their victims (via pheromone locks), or the capacity to ‘tune sensations’ and so explore the vagaries and vicissitudes of carnal pleasure. The addition of anthropomorphic vocal apparatuses is perhaps the most famous of these enhancements. (Information needed) Known Inchoroi

Arrival
See also: Arkfall and Nail of Heaven According to the chronicles of the Isûphiryas , the Incû-Holoinas fell from the Void of the heavens in the western lands of the Mansion Viri , where survivors spoke of a ship that streak the skies fiercely, fell flattening the forests and piercing the plains, raising with its fall a ring of mountains around two golden horns rose in the midst of a molten sea, this catastrophe covered the lands with clouds and ashes, resulting in a famine. Nin’janjin King Nonman of Viri asked Cû’jara-Cinmoi , the King of Siöl , for help. But instead of sending help to Nin'janjin, Cû'jara-Cinmoi gathered an army and invaded the lands of Viri. Nin'janjin and his Ishroi capitulated without a fight; Viri became a bloodless tributary of Siöl. Afterwards Cû'jara-Cinmoi sent Ingalira on an expedition to find the Ark, what happened on it is unknown, but it is certain that in the course of the expedition the first contact with the Inchoroi was made, for three months later Ingalira "gave" Cû'jara-Cinmoi two inhuman prisoners, two Inchoroi. It was then when Ingalira bringed the Inchoroi were he called this alien race "Inchoroi", which means "People of Emptiness" in Ihrimsû , According with the chronicles at the time these creatures do not even had mouths, and the communication with them was impossible. After ordering the slaying of the obscene creatures Cû'jara-Cinmoi established the First Watch on the Ark. Wars
See also: Cûno-Inchoroi Wars Sometime later an embassy of Inchoroi approached Nin'Janjin, they could speak Ihrimsû and offered him an alliance reminding him of the betrayal of Cû'jara-Cinmoi to break the yoke and the bad fortune that his dreadful arrival had brought to the Cûnuroi of Viri. After rebelling in Viri and the Inchoroi having overwhelmed the Watch. Sil , the Inchoroi king, and Nin'Janjin gathered their hosts to confront Cû'jara-Cinmoi. Who had already been warned of the event. Taking advantage of the disagreements between the Nonmen of Viri the Inchoroi turned on them hoping to destroy them before facing Cû'jara-Cinmoi and his hosts. Cû'jara-Cinmoi saved the remaining Nonmen of Viri from annihilation and faced the Inchoroi in the famed Battle of Pir Pahal , where finally the numbers of the armies of Siöl, his sorcerers and his courage defeated the Inchoroi except for the most powerful, who retreated to the Ark taking Nin'janjin with them. During the battle Cû'jara-Cinmoi himself slew the Inchoroi king Sil, and took from him his weapon Suörgil , "Shining Death". His pursuit of the Inchoroi was cut short when his dominions were threatened by rebellions in his empire. A Second Watch was established in the Ark but no attempt was made to penetrate it. See also: Battle of Pir Pahal During the time of the Siöl-Nihrimsul Wars only once were the Inchoroi heard from, when desperate for help and under orders to recruit men Oirinas and Oirûnas recruited a criminal. This man named Sirwitta seduced the wife of a high-ranking Ishroi and conceived with her a daughter named Cimoira . This was the first recorded case of interbreeding between men and non-men. Sirwitta himself was banished to the Second Watch, which guarded the Incû-Holoinas. Somehow Sirwitta managed to enter the Incû-Holoinas. A month passed, and all thought him lost. Then he reappeared, deranged, screeching claims so alarming that Oirinas and Oirûnas brought him directly to Cû’jara-Cinmoi. What was said between Sirwitta and the High King of Siöl is not recorded. The chroniclers say only that Cû’jara-Cinmoi, after hearing Sirwitta speak, ordered him put to death. A later entry, however, describes Sirwitta as "tongueless and imprisoned". It appears the High King, for some unknown reason, had rescinded his warrant. After many years of peace, the ishroi of Siöl continued guarding the Ark, no one knew whether the Inchoroi had perished or were still alive. Then Nin'janjin, acting as an emissary for the Inchoroi, begging for mercy and punishment, apparently they lived in confinement and desperation, they sought to leave the Ark and had not done so because they feared the King Cû’jara-Cinmoi, the ageing and failing Cû’jara-Cinmoi. The King seeing that his old adversary had not aged at all agrees on the condition that the Inchoroi share the secret of immortality with the Nonmen. The Second Watch were disbanded and the Inchoroi begin administering to the Nonmen. Something that in the future would be called the Inoculation . The Inchoroi dispensed them immortality and at the same time their damnation, soon all the Nonmen, even those who were wary, succumbed to the panaceas of the Inchoroi. See also: Inoculation and Womb Plague Over 100 years after the Inoculation begins, all Nonmen women die as a result of the Inchoroi plotting, what would be called the Womb Plague , with Hanalinqû being the first victim, the wife of Cû’jara-Cinmoi. The King declares vengeance and summons the might of all the High Mansions to war, the Inchoroi fled and took refuge again in the Ark. Thousands of Nonmen responded to the call of Cû'jara-Cinmoi and followed him to the Black Furnace Plain where he deposited the corpse of his wife. Soon the Nonmen were surrounded by enemies for the Inchoroi had wasted no time, and underground in the vast tunnels of the plains and mountains they had created and amassed hordes of creatures that world had never seen before, Sranc , Bashrags and dragons . Also, forbidden from practicing their art under Cû’jara-Cinmoi, some Nonmen were seduced by the Inchoroi, whose loss of the Battle of Pir Pahal had been largely due to the power of Qûya . The practicioners of the Aporos (a branch of sorcery) created for their masters the first Chorae , which rendered their bearers immune to magic and killed Qûya on touch. Finding themselves overwhelmed by the countless Sranc and devastated by the Inchoroi who were flying through the skies wielding their weapons of light, the Nonmen resisted with vigor, despite being under tremendous pressure from the Inchoroi the Nonmen did not give in, it was the fury over the loss of their wives and children. In the battle fell Vshikcrû , a powerful Inchoroi strangled at the hands of Ingalira. But then Cû’jara-Cinmoi was slain on the Furnace Plain by the treachery of Nin'janjin, Dismayed by the event many Nonmen heroes of Earwa began to fall in battle, Ingalira among them. Realizing their plight, Sin'niroitha, High King of Nihrimsul and Ishoriöl, took command and drove the rest of the Nonmen from the battlefield. Once away from their enemies the Nonmen fled to their homes crazed with fear. The Inchoroi did not pursue them. See also: Battle of Pir Minginnial After that followed a war of mutual extermination that lasted five hundred years, during small truces with the Nonmen the Inchoroi calling themselves; Iyiskû (a term whose meaning is unknown), claimed to have descended from the Void in the Incû-Holoinas, victims of a cataclysm that had wrecked them in the World, although it was soon revealed that they had actually come to exterminate all life, destroying all souls they could close the world against the Outside thus saving their souls from damnation if they died. Defeat after defeat followed, but slowly as the Inchoroi depleted the Tekne and lost the ability to create new light weapons or weapon races, the Nonmen regained the upper hand, famous were the battles and sieges between them were: the "Sieges of Ishoriöl" were The Exalted Mansion spent more than fifty years under siege in five separate campaigns. There Sin'niroiha became the last non-man to die of old age and was succeeded by his son, Nil’giccas . The Battle of Imogirion : The Mansion of Illisserû mount a sea assault against the Inchoroi, landing an invasion force on the Leash and marching towards the Ark. They are defeated with great loss of life. Only one of the invaders lived to see his home again. Then a Second Summoning was held and Nil'giccas rallied the High Mansions for the second time and assembles a host powerful enough to challenge the Inchoroi. Followed by the Battle of Isal’imial were Nil'giccas and his hosts crush the Inchoroi armies in the shadow of the Ark, driving the Sranc into the Yimaleti Mountains , supposedly completely destroying the Inchoroi and breaching into the Ark. Then the Nonmen spent twenty years plundering and desecrating the Ark, chasing their malignant enemies through the labyrinthine corridors, they succeeded in trapping the remaining Inchoroi in the depths of the earth (where presumably most of them perished), but the Nonmen were unable to destroy the Ark. Concerned about the Golden Room and the Inverse Fire and totally disturbed by the testimony of the captive Nin'janjin and the explorer Cet’ingira , Nil'giccas has the Barricades raised across the entrance to the Incû-Holoinas by the sorcerer Emilidis and then evacuates it, forbidding anyone from approaching, and his Nonmen followers and other Nonmen Kings were forbidden to speak of the Inchoroi and their dread legacy. By this time only two Inchoroi managed to survived concealing themselvs in the Ark. See also: Timeline contradictions about the Inchoroi who survived See also: Breaking of the Gates , Five Tribes of Men , and The Chronicle of the Tusk During their conflicts with Cû'jara-Cinmoi the Inchoroi were scattered to the four corners of the world, when the Inchoroi tried to give the Sranc their Chorae as a weapon and defense the Sranc took little notice of them and were reckless, so the Inchoroi began to give the Chorae to the Halaroi , inciting them to rebellion but the Halaroi had no stomach for such moves against their Nonmen masters. So the Inchoroi turned their attention to the men of Eänna , who were much fiercer but also naive. The Five Tribes of Men were gifted Chorae, but one of them, the Ketyai , was also gifted a tusk engraved with inscriptions of sacred laws and revered stories, but this gift included an artful addition: "the divine imperative to invade the ' Land of the Felled Sun ' and hunt down and exterminate the ' False Men .' " The Nonmen themselves had been weakened by close to a millennium of warfare with the Inchoroi, as well as the loss of their women in the Womb Plague, and were unable to resist the invading hordes of men. Thus the Inchoroi sealed the fate of the exhausted Nonmen of Eärwa, with the Breaking of the Gates and the consequent invasions of the Four Tribes of Men in Eärwa and near extermination of the Nonmen and their Halaroi slaves at the hand of the first. Most of the Nonmen Mansions were destroyed, the sole survivors were Ishterebinth and Cil-Aujas . Very few accounts exist about this wars. Although Bakker himself suggested in a reply that the remaining Nonmen may well have let themselves be exterminated by the invaders, strangers from Eänna who may not have been any more intelligent or technologically advanced than the Nonmen. "Eännans had overwhelming numbers and Chorae [but] they were little more than savages [and] a great number of Nonmen were actively searching for a way to die."

Centuries passed and the migratory invasions of Men soon resulted in large settlements and the founding of kingdoms and empires. See also: Timeline for more details about the Men rising power A corrupted element from the past prevailed, the explorer Cet’ingira who was sent on an expedition together with two Ishroi into the depths of the Incû-Holoinas by Nil’giccas following the end of the Cûno-Inchoroi Wars. There they beheld the Inverse Fire . The two Ishroi, Misariccas and Runidil , were driven to madness by the sight of it, while Cet’ingira appeared able to keep his wits. Upon returning, Cet’ingira advised the King to have the other two killed. Unknown to the others, Cet'ingira had also been affected, and was now wholly convinced of Damnation and the mission of the Inchoroi to shut down the world to the Outside. Sometime in the fourth century, Cûnwerishau , the God-King of Trysë and Nil’giccas, the Nonman King of Ishoriöl (Ishterebinth), make a treaty between their two peoples, the Nonman Tutelage, the first between Nonmen and Men. As part of the treaty, Cûnwerishau is given a copy of the Isûphiryas , the great work chronicling the history of the Nonmen prior to the Breaking of the Gates. Although unknowingly, and probably by the cunning work of Cet’ingira, all mention of the Golden Room and the Inverse Fire was excised from the Isûphiryas . In the words of Cet’ingira himself "the Inverse Fire cannot be told … It must be seen ." Over the following time, Cet'ingira disguised his true intentions. It was he who advised Nil'giccas to begin the Nonman Tutelage (the first treaty between Nonmen and Men) of the Men - ostensibly to teach the knowledge of the Nonmen to the younger race, but in reality so that he could secretly pass on the revelation of the Inchoroi. [ citation needed ] The Nonman Tutelage ended in any case with the Expulsion of all Nonmen from the Ûmeri Empire following the famed rape of Omindalea by the Nonman Jiricet . Cet’ingira convinced of the mission of the Inchoroi began stealing the Heron Spear (Suörgil, the weapon of the Inchoroi King Sil) from Ishterebinth and delivered to Golgotterath, as the spear was said to reside there for "millennia" since the times after the Battle of Pir Pahal. A few years later Cet’ingira, reveals to the School of Mangaecca the Incû-Holoinas, or Min-Uroikas [the "Pit of Obscenities" ], the long forgotten and unknown location to the now ruling Men, and thus they began to fortify the sorroundings of the ark. The Mangaecca Grandmasters continued their excavations of the Ark and their investigations of the Tekne. However, their repeated attempts to break into the Ark were met with failure. More years later the sorcerer Shaeönanra became Grandvizier of the Mangaecca and with the help of Cet'ingira both succeed overcome the glamour around Golgotterath, and Shaeönanra behold the Inverse Fire, the damnation that awaits and he embrace the Inchoroi mission. At some point in the next seven or eight years they discovered in the labyrinthine recesses of the Ark the Last two Inchoroi and awake them, the twin brothers Aurang and Aurax . Cet’ingira, the "founding soul", resigned as Siqu and Shaeönanra ceased to be Grandmaster of the Mangaecca, and so the pact or alliance between the Halaroi ( Men ), Cûnuroi ( Nonmen ), and Inchoroi was born: The Consult or the Unholy Triumvirate . A pact between the most brilliant and fearsome souls of all three races, an oath to destroy the World, upon exterminating all souls in a bid to save their own souls from eternal damnation. A renewal of the almost exterminated Inchoroi and their mission. Their first act in this alliance was to kill Titirga , the head of the Sohonc and the greatest threat to them. Titirga fell into a trap and was buried alive under the rubble and rocks in the deep heart of an old and abandoned Nonmen mansion at the hands of Shaeönanra and Aurang. See also: The Consult Years later rumours began spreading that Shaeönanra, the Grandmaster of the Mangaecca, had finally entered the Ark and discovered a catastrophic means to undo the scriptural damnation of sorcerers . The School was promptly outlawed, and the remainder of the School fled to Golgotterath, abandoning the city of Sauglish forever. They were already known as the Consult. A little over a hundred years later Akksersia , one of the largest Norsirai cities in the north recorded the first Great Sranc War. The first great Sranc incursion to the south since the end of the Cûno-Inchoroi wars. And almost two centuries more later the northwesternmost province of Kûniüri , Far Wuor , was gradually abandoned due to the constant incursions of Sranc through the Leash . And it ended up being totally abandoned by the inhabitants of the place who retreated to the south-east. Into the depths of the wicked Golgotterath and at their hoary knees the outlaw Schoolmen learned that damnation, the burden all sorcerers bore, need not be inevitable. They learned that the world could be shut against the judgment of Heaven, and bent their cunning to the aborted designs of the Inchoroi. They relearned the principles of the material, the Tekne. They mastered the manipulations of the flesh. And after generations of study and searching, after filling the pits of Min-Uroikas with innumerable corpses, they realized the most catastrophic of the untold depravities of the Inchoroi: Mog-Pharau , the No-God . See also: No-God The presence of a greater threat is barely noticed by the kingdoms and empires of men, whose encounters with the Sranc are barely recorded. Something that will change radically almost five hundred years later. See also: Timeline for more details about the Second Age First Apocalypse
See also: Apocalypse See also: Timeline for a more orderly breakdown of events during the Apocalypse Little is known about the role of the Inchoroi during the First Apocalypsis, it is known that Aurang served as the Horde-General of the No-God , what Aurax (and the Consult) did is not known at all. Also it is unknown whether the Inchoroi were even present during the fall of the No-God on the Mengedda Plains. Plot between
The No-God was dead, but his slaves and his stronghold remained. Golgotterath had not fallen, and the Consult, blasted by ages of unnatural life, continued to plot their salvation. The years passed, and the Men of the Three Seas forgot, as Men inevitably do, the horrors endured by their fathers. Empires rose and empires fell. Nothing is known about what the Inchoroi were doing during the time between the end of the first Apocalypse and the start of the Holy War. The First Holy War and the Arrival of Anasûrimbor Kellhus

(Information needed) Timeline contradictions
There is a contradiction in the timeline concerning the Barricades uprising and the presence of Inchoroi in Eänna. Since the entrance and exit of the Ark was sealed for approximately two thousand years (and potentially more) until they were destroyed in circa 1100 Year-of-the-Tusk, but Cet'ingira claimed to have returned the Heron Spear to the Ark in 750 when supposedly the Barricades were still standing. It is known that the Inchoroi were hunted down and imprisoned in the depths of the earth, where presumably most of them perished, with Aurang and Aurax being the only two Inchoroi who survived and hid inside the ark until they were found and freed, something that is in clear contradiction with Aurang himself who suggests to have been driven away from the Incû-Holoinas and being hunted. There are three outcomes concerning this contradictions about the presence of Inchoroi in the world after the Barricades uprising ( purely speculative ): - Aurang was the one who gave the Tusk to the Men of Eänna, he had a way out of the Ark. Although this in itself is also a contradiction since besides deceiving the Tribes of Eänna, he does not seem to have done more than that, neither having approached Shaeönanra or Cet'ingira nor is it suggested that he even tried to take down the Barricades.
- Since the Inchoroi were scattered to the four corners of the world, It is possible that there were more free Inchoroi out there, or perhaps only one, this was the one who gave the Tusk to the Men of Eänna. And later died or was killed.
- The approach of the Inchoroi to the Men of Eänna was long before the end of the Cûno-Inchoroi wars, from the moment they created the Chorae before the Battle of Pir Minginnial. This may be the most viable option, if it is taken into account that the plans of the Inchoroi with the Men of Eänna fructified too late, centuries later when the Breaking of the Gates happened when the Inchoroi were already defeated and imprisoned in the Ark.
See also: Timeline for some initial clarifications Speculations
- It is possible that the Inchoroi call Eärwa the promised world, because it was the first world they descended upon where they found Magic. Since the homeworld where the Inchoroi come from is completely "anarcane ground".
Trivia
- Inchoroi is not the real name of this alien race, the Nonmen give them that name. The Inchoroi called themselves " Iyiskû ", a term whose meaning is unknown.
- The number of 144,000 has significance in various religious movements and ancient prophetic belief systems around the real life world.
