Role

Chapter 4

The area of research I have delved into is that of breeding combinations. My
goal is to finds ways to ease restrictions on mating between species to
create a more random, less defined realm with no clear races or divisions
created by birth where are all a combined mass clawing and scratching to
survive and dominate.

I was the product of selective breeding which causes my interest in the topic
and what might be possible. Most minotaur are bread using a human woman. My
vessel was of half drowish descent with some orcish blood mixed in with the
orcs selected for their exhibitions of demonic tendencies. However, outside
of demonic manifestations granted to me by abyssal powers, I have not sensed
a difference in myself and other minotaur to this point, though it could be
latent, and I keep drinking elf. blood just in case.

I was released from my cage after the architect of this died, so never
perused his mind on this. After some years and gaining knowledge to read the
common tongue however, I returned to the place of my creation and captivity
and was able to review some of the notes left behind. Most of what he
encountered in his lifetime of crossbreeding was failure, but my interest was
gained.

I have found little written on the topic of crossbreeding, but have found
various examples across the lands. Confirmed crossbreeds I have found and
confirmed so far are:

Humans + Elf

Humans + Drow

Orcs with what I suspect were half drow or half elves creating mixed breed
orcs.

Orcs displaying demonic tendencies.

Other races mixed with demons including possibly one in the chasm (besides
me).

Successful crossbreeds I have heard of but not seen for myself:

The various Felar hybrids in Veran. I will be looking for what created them
and records left of this time once strong enough to survive there.

The Talshidars are rumored to be arial demon mixes. I will collect
specimens for study once able to do so.

I have heard rumors of experiments to mix orcs with Ccul Gra in the chasm,
but find nothing solid on these rumors.

As far as mixing with otherworldly being go, it seems demons are the only
ones I can find rumors of mating with creatures of this realm. I have found
no mortals with devil, angel, or archon blood, though some stories of part
elemenal creatures exist, but I have not been able to find one.

Combinations I suspect are possible but have not found yet.

Dwarves and Duergar, Elves and Drow, and Gnomes and Deep Gnomes should be
able to interbreed freely, though their offspring would likely appear as one
or the other. Also, due to conflict between these races, it would be likely
such offspring would be hidden or destroyed.

At this point I continue to study what is available for observation and
research. My next phase will include more dissections of interesting
creatures and the gathering of captives for expermentation.
