Rakkor means Tribe of the Last Sun, and its people believe that many worlds have existed before this one. Its seers teach that when this sun is destroyed there will be no more, so its warriors must be ready to fight those who seek to extinguish its light. All members of the tribe are expected to fight and kill without mercy or hesitation. Rakkor warriors are trained not only to be as lethal with their bare hands as the most capable martial artists, but also to fiercely wield the many relic-weapons of the tribe. While nearly all the Rakkor worship the sun, those who devoted are known as the Solari. Those known as the Lunari secretly worship the light of the moon. They keep their beliefs hidden from the Solari, who greatly outnumber them and see them as dangerous heretics.

Although most users tend to either drink the drug directly or inject it into the bodies using syringes, it can also be inhaled in gas form. In small quantities, shimmer can accelerate the healing process and enhance the user's physical constitution. In larger amounts, it can grant superhuman levels of strength, speed, and durability. A full dose can cause the user to temporarily grow dramatically in size; but it's extremely painful. Those who use shimmer in this manner seem to display a sharp loss in cognitive abilities and increased aggression. Frequent use of Shimmer can cause progressive degeneration of the skin and muscle tissue. Overuse can lead to permanent physical deformities.
