The people of Dancing Spheres are descended from the Forebearers who existed before the Godswar. In that time the people not only explored the limits of magic and technology, they also pushed the frontiers of biology. When the Godswar happened biology became one more weapon of war. The Forebearers were twisted into new forms to serve the needs of war. Their biologies and psychologies manipulated to serve their masters. When the Old Gods and Dragons died or left for other realms, their works were left behind to carve out new life across the Spheres.
