The first recorded shapeshifters were the defenders of the [[Mystics]]; these powerful warriors drew on the [[seamlore|Seams]] to fuel a transformation into a werebear. Taking note of this, the [[Ankyrean Order]] dispatched spies to steal the secrets of the transformation and eventually succeeded in isolating the ability. Through the use of numerous slaves, the Ankyreans managed to manifest the werewolf form, and then proceeded to use the hardier transformed slaves in their spectacularly lethal [[Elemental Plane|planar exploration studies]]. | The first recorded shapeshifters were the defenders of the [[Mystics]]; these powerful warriors drew on the [[seamlore|Seams]] to fuel a transformation into a werebear.

When the [[Nazedha]] Empire occupied the sunken ruins of [[Ashtan]], they unearthed scrolls belonging to the Mystics. A Grook slave named [[Rodney]] was set to translating the ancient writings, and eventually developed within himself the ability to shift into a werecrocodile. He promptly took the scroll and escaped with Nazedha enforcers hot on his trail; unfortunately for the people of Sapience, his notes were enough for the Nazedha to decipher the process themselves, resulting in scaled enforcers guarding the gates of [[Huanazedha]]. | The Kith of Torston developed many years after the Grand Artifice, and under the oversight of a very different group.
