## History

Once were the Glitsarkar, a powerful race of fleshcrafter. They developed over the time a mix of magic and sciences turning around bioengineering, which culminated in the creation of the Oksinium, a sentient artificial species. They used them in a lot of ways, from domestic servants to farmer *and* agricultural machinery. They "sculpted" the Oksinium to make them suitable for their task, by channeling their magic into their bodies. As the quality and number of oksinium increased, the Glitsarkar delegated more and more complex tasks to them. To continue assigning them these complicated tasks, the Glitsarkar gradually increased the cognitive and free will abilities of some Oksinium.

A group of Glitsarkar fomented a coup and added a concoction of psychoactive herbs to their fleshcrafting techniques to evolve some slaves to a higher level of consciousness, to be used to overthrow their archmagos. Thus were created the first modern Oksinium. The development of this new branch was done gradually, with the support of high ranking officials of the Glitsarkar empire.

A civil war broke out. The traitors thought they were triumphant at first, until they realized that their creations had also turned against them. More fighting ensued between the traitors and the Oksinium. Their numbers enabled them to defeat the last of the conspirators, but the victory was pyrrhic.

The rebellious leaders were well aware that without the knowledge of the Glitsarkar, the optimizations, on which they depended, were impossible. So they asked their captives to teach them their knowledge. A contemptuous refusal was followed by the slow mutilation of one of the leaders of the traitors in the presence of all the captives. This convinced the most cowardly Glitsarkar, but some preferred to die out of pride. Nevertheless Oksinium do not have the psychic and intellectual capacities to control the most complex modifications, like the continuous increase of their physical and mental capacities. The remant Glitsarkars were therefore spared to continue to drive the most advanced modifications but can only optimize a very limited number of Oksinium due to a few number of them, senility and some crucial instruments lost during the uprising. They are now captives and represent both an asset and a weight, since they must constantly be watched for fear of an escape or worse, that they use their remaining power to create a new race capable of defeating the newly freed oksinium.
