History of the Clans
Relatively new, the four clans have lived in their territories for a mere two years. Made up of stray, feral, and tame animals used for whitecoat research, these clans started out as simply an experiment.
The whitecoats wanted to know what would happen, should genetically altered animals be let loose in the wild.
They gave their creations new genes and elemental abilities and even gave a few unnatural mutations, and monitored them closely.
Then, their creations malfunctioned. The whitecoats were unable to stop their beasts from going feral, but they steadily continued their research, trapping a few of their creatures from time to time and taking notes, altering or fixing their design, taking more notes, and setting them loose.
The beasts, known as banes, sometimes called errors, were created from almost anything the whitecoats could get their hands on. They had been warped so much, one could barely tell what animal an individual bane had once been.
