Mütt

The Mütt were the third beings brought into the dream by the gods, heralds of darkness who have long avoided society. Their bodies naturally consume magic, with their thick bone plates leeching indiscriminately from their surroundings. Upon their creation, they retreated together with Vishu into the darkness of the material world in an attempt to allow light its own place in the world. These embodiments of darkness traveled the tunnels of the dream cradle for years, and as time wore on, they began to affect and shape the world around them, gaining the magics of multiple affiliations unknowingly. Over the decades, their powers grew, as they continued to reach out through the dream to explore the endless tunnels filled with darkness. When Seth was born, the Mütt traveled with Vishu back to civilization to bear witness to the churning dream they had felt stirring for years. As several new beings, including their sibling species the Zerith, came into being, a small group of Mütt separated to travel into the cities and settlements forming throughout the various dream worlds. These Mütt were among the first to develop ritual magic, sacrificing the majority of their power to inhabit forms that would allow them to reside together with other species. With this contribution, they entered a coalition of scholars who began the creation of artifacts among the enormous libraries of the Oraphin citadels. The progression of magic accelerated swiftly in this period, with the bone plating of Mütt being used in the development of a new realm of magical technologies.

When conflict arose within the cities, Mütt resisted

Due to their massively destructive bodies, many city dwellers view them to be monsters, particularly those who have encountered the vastly powerful ancients from before the war. Some have taken to hunting the Muut, with extensively trained capture forces that aim to harvest their bone plating for production of weapons and armor. Very little bone is actually in circulation however, with most hunting parties left as forgotten fools who underestimated the gravity of true magic.
