Orogenes

Orogenes are people in the Stillness gifted with the power of orogeny, or the ability to manipulate and redirect kinetic energy in order to negate or create seismic events. They have enlarged, highly developed organs called sessapinae that allow them to use orogeny to control tectonic activity; a select few can also control the Obelisks. Orogenes are oppressed by the stills (normal humans), and when they are feral (unskilled in the use of orogeny), they are often killed young by their comm once they accidentally perform orogeny in front of other people. Those who survive are sent to the Fulcrum by Guardians to be trained and become Imperial Orogenes or Node Maintainers. Rogga is a derogatory term for an orogene.

Appearance
An orogene looks like any other inhabitant of the Stillness. The only biological difference between orogenes and stills is the capabilities of their sessapinae.
