The Beasts of Caelthyr

“They are not monsters.

They are the answer to witches.”

Beasts were shaped by Thyrix, God of Chaos, as anti-governors — beings that could endure, adapt, and survive absolute magic.

All beasts share core traits:

• Superhuman strength, speed, durability

• Accelerated regeneration

• Resistance to magic

• No spellcasting

• Weakness to:

  • Witch bloodline magic

  • Divine miracles

  • Certain curse items

I. Vampires — 

The Silent Aristocracy

“Power is inherited. Hunger is optional.”

Origin

Vampires were among the earliest perfected beasts, designed to:

• Survive witches

• Rule humans without exposure

• Preserve knowledge across centuries

After the war, they retreated into secrecy.

Physiology

Vampires possess:

• Superhuman physical attributes

• High-tier regeneration

• Longevity bordering on immortality

• Immunity to disease and poison

• Blood manipulation

Blood Consumption

• Not required for survival

• Acts as a temporary amplifier

• Blood quality matters:

  • Common humans = mild boost

  • Mages = stronger

  • Elementalists / miracle-workers = extreme

  • Witch blood = catastrophic (often lethal or transformative)

Hierarchy of Strength

Vampire society is strictly ranked:

1. Primarchs — ancient, near-mythic

2. High Bloods — noble rulers

3. True Vampires — enforcers, generals

4. Lesser Blooded — servants, spies

5. Turned — unstable, often disposable

Hierarchy is determined by:

• Age

• Combat prowess

• Bloodline purity

Current Status

• Deeply embedded in Eldharyn’s noble houses

• Control banks, mercenary companies, guilds

• Manipulate royal succession quietly

• Avoid witch encounters at all costs

II. Shifters — 

The Broken Majority

“They were meant to adapt.

They adapted too well.”

Origin

Shifters were created by genetic fusion:

• Human base

• Animal or monster essence

• Chaos alteration

They were designed as shock troops.

Physiology & Forms

All shifters possess:

• Enhanced strength and regeneration

• Heightened senses

Three Forms

1. Human Form

   • Fully human appearance

   • Suppressed abilities

2. Hybrid Form

   • Partial transformation

   • Best balance of power and control

3. Full Beast Form

   • Maximum power

   • Loss of reason over time

Transformation is voluntary — until it isn’t.

Wild Shifters

Some shifters lose mental control:

• Animal instincts dominate

• Memory degradation

• Permanent full-beast state

Wild shifters:

• Are hunted by everyone

• Form packs in abandoned regions

• Are sometimes worshipped as gods

Current Status

• Largest beast population

• Descendants spread worldwide

• Some don’t know their true nature

• Used as soldiers, criminals, mercenaries

III. Guides — 

The Blood of Chaos

“They do not command.

The world obeys.”

Origin

Guides are the direct descendants of Thyrix.

They were not created — they were born.

Physiology

Guides:

• Appear entirely human

• Do not age normally

• Possess no visible mutations

• Radiate subtle distortion

Chaos Authority

Guides can:

• Command all beasts

• Override instincts

• Awaken dormant beast traits

• Suppress regeneration or enhance it

Cannot:

• Control other Guides and Gozu( only the One waited by Gozu is exception)

• Cast magic

• Be easily detected

Their power is will-based, not magical.

The Lost Bloodline

After the war:

• Guide bloodlines vanished

• Records erased

• Survivors hunted or sealed

Only Gozu remembers the truth.

The Prophecy of Gozu

Gozu waits in Vael’Tyrra.

The prophecy says:

• A descendant of Thyrix will awaken

• Chaos will regain voice

• Beasts will unite or be destroyed

Whether this leads to:

• Restoration

• Apocalypse

• Or evolution

  …is unknown.

  V. Why Beasts Fear Witches

  • Witch curses bypass regeneration

  • Bloodline magic overrides adaptation

  • A witch’s kiss can:

    • End immortality

    • Bind chaos

    • Erase lineage

  Beasts were made to endure gods — not governors.
