Beastkind

According to the human religion of Eldarism, the Beastkind were first created by the Elder-God Luthon in order to combat the ever-present threat of the Dark-Gods. Many beasts exist within the world and almost all can be assumed to have descended from Luthon's great army.

Creation
Luthon, the god of Death, was among the more aggressive Elder-Gods, matched only by his brothers Koron and Vorgo. Luthon was also known to be a perfectionist and was seemingly often dissatisfied with his creations, frequently dismissing them to live whatever lives they had left to them in the wildlands, where if they lived or died, it didn't matter. In his effort to create the perfect beast, he went through many different iterations which resulted in his army being easily the most varied of them all, ranging from the sleek and fiercely strong Moon Prowlers of the deep forests to the hulking, sinewy monstrosities that were the Vargore.

After the Exodus of the Gods
After the God Wars ended and the Elder-Gods left the realms of Athelon, the Beastkind were released into the wilds to live their lives with no further control or direction from their master. Although the Beastkind had not been blessed with a higher intelligence like that of the Titans or Angelics, they were still intelligent enough to eventually find places around the world which suited their needs and have evolved and adapted over the thousands of years since.

Present Day
In recent years, the Beastkind that had previously receded into the deep wilds, away from any other creatures have been seen more and more frequently emerging from their solitary homes. The Ligers that descended from the legendary Moon Prowlers have been recently attacking the outskirts of small towns and villages, praying on lone hunters and lost travellers. Some believe that these attacks herald the return of Luthon.
