The Dragon Blooded of Autochthonia

When Autochthon went into exile he had no way of knowing who among the millions of people he snatched from creation happend to have a trace of the heritage of the Elemental Dragons. These unfortunate few sometimes had children that exalted as Dragon Blooded, and those children often came together in adulthood to have Dragon Blooded children of their own. So it went for hundreds of years, and with the Advent of the Alchemicals the Dragon Blooded became the legates and assistants to Autochthon's Chosen as they had been to the Solars before them. Over time however a change began to take place among the Dragon Blooded: children exalted who were not from any of the five known aspects but rather had elemental affinities based on the elements of their new home, Crystal, Lighting, Steam, Metal, Oil, and Smoke.

At first shunned by the 'normal' Dragon Blooded over time these 'freaks' came together and had their own children, who grew up straight and true to their parent's new bloodlines. Born to be heroes they refused to surrender to social isolation and ostracism and within a few centuries were considered part of the structure of Dragon Blooded society, though almost always kept to separate bloodlines by the 'old blood' families.

Today Gents of all eleven bloodlines of terrestrials serve the Alchemicals as their assistants and shock troops. thanks to the work of the Dragon Blooded the crisis of the Great Maker's body is much less than it might be, though a crisis it still is. The Dragon Blooded of the 'Old Blood' are all but gone from Autochthonia, but the six new types have risen up to take their place, and are going strong today.

The Six Types of Autochthonian Terrestrial

The Six Autochthonian Breeds of terrestrial are each similar to some of the old breeds of terrestrial, with one exception, that of Smoke, which takes on a small amount of the abilities of each other breed but is directly correlated to none. The Ability Packages and Anima Powers of Each breed are listed bellow.

Oil

The anima power of Oil is similar to that of the Wood Aspect, becoming immune to poison and their touch conveying poison, except that they become immune to all artificial poisons instead of plant based poisons. Neither are immune to animal poisons.

Smoke

The Anima power of smoke is to purge the body of disease. All diseases natural and artificial are purged from the body when their anima flares. However this comes at a price, the diseases so purged infect everyone within 1d yards at the time who is not immune to disease or another Smoke aspect.

Modern Times

It was among the 'Old Blood' of the terrestrials that the idea of Project Razor first occurred to the people of Autochthonia, some 5 years ago. The originator of the plan was an Earth Aspect of Yugash named Chanel of Esoteric Wisdom, an adjutant to Yugash's National Tripartite. She reasoned that the cache's of magical materials mined by the people of Yugash must be running out for a reason: and after consulting with many of the Alchemicals came to a shocking conclusion: Autochthon had planed to stay in the Void for thousands of years: but not almost Five Thousand. Parsing records and examining historical accounts she published a modest analytical paper on recurring resource shortages, which drew a simple but shocking conclusion: the great maker had prepared himself for an exile of only 4000 years. The paper made no judgements on the prudence of this choice, nor what was to be done about having remained in exile over 800 years too long, but the paper found willing ears among many of the more learned members of Autochthonian Society, including Fair Spoken Reshi, who saw to it that it was distributed among most of Autochthonia's other nations as well. Soon many national tripartites came to the same conclusions as Chanel of Esoteric Wisdom from examining their own records. Slowly but surely a new idea spread among the leadership of the Eight nations and the three great city states: "Project Razor", a charm to breach the seal of eight divinities and return to Creation. Subtly encouraging this from behind the scenes were 'old blood' terrestrials in every nation, who reasoned that if they had endured in Autochthonia then surely others of their bloodlines had endured in creation and could infuse new life into their flagging families, or provide them refuge in escaping from the World/God of Autochthon.
