→Information
It is a notorious [[Fire Caste]] world containing the oldest and most respected academy, founded centuries before. The warriors produced here are especially aggressive and skilled in the art of death. The sept warriors of Vior'la are usually painted with hot colours, like red and orange, and usually have many [[Fire Warrior]]s and [[Battlesuit]]s.
Vior'la is one of the major septs and is a first phase colony. Its neighbours are [[Sa'cea]], [[Arthas]], [[Moloch]] and [[Tau'n]].
The surface of Vior'la is hot and dry, even for a Tau world and Tau from Vio'la tend to have darker skin pigmentation than most. Due to its orbit around a binary star, it swelters in a virtually constant summer. The majority of the planet's surface is dry and inhospitable; dusty red plains cover millions of square miles and parched deserts circle the equator. In both hemispheres mountain ranges stretch for thousands of miles and seem to scrape the stars themselves, lending credence to the theory that much of Vior'la's surface was once under water and some catastrophe in ancient times caused the seas to dry up, leaving Vior'la the arid place it is today.
