Demi-Human Surge

During the War of the Wilds the magical Forces of the Unseelie and Seelie courts released an attack on the Old Gods invasion force. Tamara a druid from Tythis who was the first mortal to receive a mantle of power from both courts and granted the Title of Sidhe Maiden was given command of the magical forces of both courts and wyldfae.

A plan was set in motion to release a combined magical strike at the center of the Old God forces, however during the battle, information was received by the Sidhe forces that a ritual had started to bring forth an Old God into the Wilds. The Queens of Summer and Winter rallied their forces and assaulted the northern and eastern forces of the enemy while a separate force Under Tamara The Sidhe Maiden attacked the western side. A small strike force penetrated deep into the enemy camp with the Weapon prototype The Sidhe Maiden had developed, once activated all the magic of the Wilds coalesced at the center Devastating the Old God Forces and sealing the rift the Ritual was opening. The remaining Enemy forces retreated into the void ensuring a complete victory for the denizens of the Wilds.

The release of all that magical power was felt across the physical planes causing wild magic surges unlike anything ever witnessed, On Tythis this Wild Magic Surge Caused the Demi-Human appearance. The Demi-Human Surge as it was later called caused bestial/animal like traits to appear mostly on those of human lineage but some elf and Dwarf folk were affected. some Norkhul tribes became bear like humanoids like Urskans and many more.

The Demi-Human Surge was experienced through the entire world, this caused fear and hatred towards those affected by this magic. The Magic was so strong and potent that it was irreversible unless it was done by divine intervention. After a time of acclimation Those who were changed found pockets of similar people and formed new cultures and groups, while other more accepting kingdoms accepted the new people. Others however took advantage and a slave market boom swept through Varda and other continents.
