Changed
"There are non that could live with the spark of divinity."- Charmosian the Inquisitor
"It was not possible before but I found some... some creatures that hold the power... not the normal touch of the gods... As I write the war rages... Artaius may have been right, he saw a world not crafted by mortal hands but chained by the desires of Gods. I did not believe this but now... I pray the war ends quickly..."- Charmosian the Inquisitor
"I tasked lieutenant Rosewood with the hiding of the book. He is a good man and will follow my orders. The three paths cannot overlap but we have managed at great cost to stop them. The Lich lord and it's abominable master have fallen but we have lost much. Some are broken never to be fixed... Some sleep and we pray they never wake... The others we have managed to chain. The Iron Empire will fall now and it is my fault. The proud dwarven race who have sacrificed so much for this victory will become as chaff under less deserving masters. I have picked the path, my path... no more."- Charmosian the Inquisitor
"I write this knowing my fate. I write this knowing we cannot stop the progression of the path. I am to be a Titan. I have given much but not enough. The damned administrators have killed me. They have stopped my ability to save this world. It is now simply time to fail and to be called a hero. Artaius tried and failed. I followed and now Merlant has changed too far. Rosewood is one of the few that can carry the work on."- Charmosian the Inquisitor
"I am dying. A rot. A sickness. They have got me. The Changed as they should now be known grow again. We had cut the wheat but even asleep, broken and bound the traitor tyrants act upon their own sick desires. I am to die. I am to become a lie. I shall never see a free world. Damn it all."- Charmosian the 5th Titan
Basic Information
Anatomy
They are to mock the forms of the parent race. They steal and take and change and warp.
Genetics and Reproduction
Charmosian's greatest success was to salt the ground.
Growth Rate & Stages
"I have watched one grow. From childhood to adulthood they always ascend. Usually when power becomes a possibility it starts to manifest. The changes occur. I have hidden my notes. The administrators cannot be trusted. We may be Titans but they will cause all our falls." - Rogon Beshri, The Butcher, The 13th Titan.
Biological Cycle
"I managed to harvest one of these creatures. I have managed to record it's cycles. The power it accrues. I killed it. They call me monster for killing the thing but now I understand. It grew leeches or some other leech like creature within it's own body. They incubate change and corruption. I think they will try to stop me but I am a Titan. How can these dogs even try to contain me!" - Rogon Beshri, The Butcher, The 13th Titan.
Additional Information
Social Structure
"I am not much a riter. I was a smith. I no what oppression looks like. They put themselves on top. Put the others below. Akulk'Jar said I was a pawn in their plan. Akulk'Jar was right I reckon. He worked out sommat is trying to take control of us. I am to be a Titan but something suggests sommat worse is waiting."- Artaius the Paragon
Geographic Origin and Distribution
"They call them runestones. They gather round them and power forms. I have seen it and know that it is true. Power keeps building. I has started my observations but the administrators suggested I stop. I didn't believe that old man Charmosian but now things are becoming more dangerous. I don't know why but I am scared. Charmosian always said to be cautious. I will continue my studies but I have to be more careful. Charmosian's statue has had less and less people visit it. I must be careful." - Frenish Callabtia, The Runespeaker, The 8th Titan
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Some are more. They can tear minds, they can smell souls, they can taste fear...
Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms
"ALLLLLLLLL OTHHERRRSSSSS STEALLLLL OURRRR GLOOOORRRYYYYYYYY!!!" - The Eternal Tyrant
Civilization and Culture
Major Organizations
"I am going to die. It's a rot. I didn't know it was there. Charmosian's journal says he went the same way. The bastards have me. I managed to destroy their hierarchy. Eight of Thirteen dead. There were only supposed to be five. They have us all fooled. They have let them grow. They have let them spread. I understand now that they want the Changed on high but can't understand why? Incanthos is being hunted. Now they won't have a single Titan. They'll just but potentials. Elevate as they see fit. Artaius' legacy spoiled. My hands bloody. Me life ebbing. Rosewood's family were murdered but he passed it on. Nightshade they call them. My journal's are being secreted to them and those bastards will never know. Those fuckers. Those Liars. Those.... Those... Those bureaucrats."- Ranting of the Infamous Murderer, The Butcher.
