Developers Post: CoS Explained..

One group of humans did not believe in these "New Gods", and they sought to escape the ‘gods’ and their destructive religions. They sought a place to hide from the insanity gripping their fellows, and found it in the depths of watery places. Those amongst them descended from Peran’s blood used their powers to give them enhancements in breathing underwater, handling the cold, and methods to move in this new medium. Yet the changes were not so sweeping that they could not return to land when necessary. And so they became cold blooded creatures of both earth and water, and they called themselves the waerians. At home above or below the waves, they developed scales for skin, lidded eyes, neck gills, webbed fingers and toes. The waerians developed a great pride as the only beings to never trust the Returning Gods, and in latter days tended to be aloof among other free folk. Waerians were confidant in their superiority and inner strength of character.

The Returning Gods were but Demons pretending to be Gods. Humans came willingly to these false gods and sacrificed their own kind or captured humans from their enemy factions. Human sorcerers used their powers to alter their fellow humans into new forms to please their ‘god’. New races where created out of human stock. Converts to a god’s name could be transformed into the new race so that they could be different from the ‘heathens’ of another ‘god’. This separated the humans even more, and prejudice was rampant. No longer could humans unite to defeat the Demon Hoards. Yet, only one of these newly created religious races survived to prosper in future, the Gargoyles (The Worlds 4th Race).
