Master's Organization

The **Master's Organization** is led by the Master, who seeks a way to evolve and lead humankind to a new golden age. They are responsible for creating Monster-Abomination hybrids in their attempt to create a new race.

## Goals

The Organization is the first entity on Mogar to further the evolution and development of Abominations. It is generally believed that Abominations are forsaken by Mogar, and that becoming an Eldritch is the final step to being cut off from the rest of the world. It had been known as a dead end, and while Eldritches could grow to incredible strength, they never changed on a qualitative level. The Master proved this to be wrong, even though it required Forbidden Magic and great sacrifices to achieve.

The Master focuses on restoring the powers of the Guardians' direct bloodlines to empower their fallen children and match the Guardians if needed. They also revived the Fourth Ruler of the Flames to provide the Organization with weapons and armor in order to combat any Guardian interference with their ascension.

## Members

The most ancient Eldritch Abomination and stable Monster-Abomination hybrids form the backbone of the Organization and are among the most powerful creatures on Mogar, each rumored to be able to go toe-to-toe with a Guardian and live.

The Organization members have an ability called the **Song of Undoing** which triggers the **Eldritch Tune**, making each Abomination a dimensional focal point that allows the other members of the Organization to locate and reach them as if using a Warp Gate. It is different from that of a Guardian's, but can still affect the surrounding world energy. The song spreads through the air and resonates with Abominations, making them stronger. As multiple Abominations' energy signatures become more in sync a black pillar erupts from their bodies, followed a larger black pillar from the sky and the ground just as it happened on the day they became Eldritches.

## History

### Founding

In the early 11070's, the Master met with Xenagrosh (Zoreth) after one of the former's students ,Valesa Nalear, almost died at the hands of her fellow students. The Master had already researched Arthan's Madness for decades on their own, but until that point, they had always followed the Griffon Kingdom's law. They meant to use the knowledge gained from the Mad King to find a way to cure all diseases without the risks that Body Sculpting involves. After that incident, however, the Master took a more radical approach and considered humanity itself as the disease that needed to be treated. They needed people for their experiments with Forbidden Magic while Xenagrosh needed food. Their interests aligned and thus they started working together - the Master would use their resources to provide Xenagrosh with a safe house and a semblance of life while she would use her abilities to supply them with all the subjects and knowledge that their research needed.

Neither was interested in the other except for how they could exploit their respective talents; there was no trust nor bond, just business. Over time, however, the Master became intrigued by Xenagrosh's ability to cast silent spells of all tiers, agelessness, and inability to suffer any illness while she became engrossed by the large amounts of energy their experiments generated. Each one of the Master's failed attempts released so much life force and world energy that kept her hunger at bay for almost a day. Soon they started to compare notes and once she understood the Master's potential, she offered herself as a test subject.

The Master managed to create arrays that helped her control the Chaos energy coursing through her body and altered the machine in the attempt to sate her hunger for good. He failed, yet with each experiment, her strength grew. It was then that she offered to find more of her kind. With each Abomination that joined the cause, the Organization took shape. At first, they all considered the Master just to be their servant, but the Master was the one capable of creating arrays that the Abominations had never even thought about, crafting Forgemastering marvels that gave them new power while the best the Abominations could do was be hunting dogs.

Over time, the Master's abilities and kindness gained the Abominations' respect and loyalty. Thanks to their devices, the Abominations could attend social events from time to time. The Master taught them how to speak and walk, even helping some of them remember who they were. The Abominations in turn taught the Master everything they could because without them, the Organization would crumble and the Abominations would return to being nothing but lumps of Chaos energy.

At this point, every form of disrespect towards the Master was met with extreme prejudice and the most powerful Abominations would protect them 24/7, leading new members to assume that the Master was their leader. They were the Master's teachers, but the Master was their friend, their confidant, and their only hope. With time, the lie became the truth, but they never respected the Master just for their power so much as for their undying will and determination.

The Master met with Gadorf the Wyvern, introducing him to the criminal underworld and growing a criminal empire to fund their research. They also studied true magic from the Wyvern and developed some of the technology required to fuse Abominations stably. In exchange, they worked with Gadorf to develop the Life Draining Array, which the latter used to strengthen themself in their goal of becoming a Dragon.

### Abomination Experiments

The Master begins experimenting with creating newborn Abominations using an upgraded version of Arthan's Madness and merging them together into Amalgamation Abominations, stabilizing their ethereal forms and more easily possessing a body. However, once the beings regain their minds, the conflicting personalities become incapable of coexisting, leading to senseless, frenzied madness in a fight for control. They release these hybrids throughout the Griffon Kingdom, then the Gorgon Empire and Blood Desert to test their limits.

Only one successful Amalgamation hybrid named Pazuel is known to have been created, which the Master succeeds in doing by adding an Eldritch to the mix to assume control of the merged consciousnesses. However, it dies soon after in a fight with the Guardian Salaark. The Master records the battle, witnessing how the Guardian can call upon world energy. They send Gremus the Rock Worm to study and collect the orc shaman Ragh'Ash' purple crystal in hopes of conjuring and manipulating world energy through it, and later sends Jarok to retrieve the orc shaman's crystal from Lith Verhen after the latter destroys the Lost City of Kaduria, making sure to avoid antagonizing Lith as they deem him one of the **Chosen**.

The Organization tried to kill Salaark a few times, using her as a benchmark for the Master's research. By getting rid of the Guardian, the ensuing chaos would give them free access to the countless resources of the Desert. Following Pazuel's ambush, Salaark becomes relentless in tracking them down, leading the Master steer clear from the Desert.

### Undead War

#### Hybrid Eldritches

Beyond the use of Arthan's Madness, obtained through the Master's high clearance in the Griffon Kingdom, the Organization learns to incorporate the techniques of others to further their agenda. Notably, Balkor's undead teaches them to implant Abomination tissues inside other creatures to control and empower them and safely establish a hive mind. Thrud Griffon's modification to Arthan's Madness reveals a solution to its low assimilation rate by converting her victims into copies of herself before harvesting them, and how to mix different life forces. Combining these methods allows the Master to breakthrough their 2 year slump and they proceed to experiment with implanting tissues of their Abomination associates into monsters. The tissues slowly convert their hosts into clones of the original Eldritches before the original harvests them to boost the Eldritches' power, resulting in Monster-Abomination hybrids.

Most clones are killed by humans or Emperor Beasts before reaching maturity, or assimilated by their originals. Some of the clones end up consuming their original counterparts, becoming Returner Abominations that suffer from Blood Madness.

Friction between the Original and Returner factions are smoothed by Xenagrosh and Bytra's relationship. The undead invasion from the Jiera Continent creates competitors to the Organization, disrupting the black market and the Organization's source of income, specimens, and supplies. The Master orders their allies to wage war on the Undead Courts and seize their resources, capture Dawn, or find Thrud and her perfected Arthan's Madness. They also order them to befriend any Returners they encounter. With the war offering a perfect cover and scapegoats in the case their operations are exposed, the Master resumes the venture into the Desert.

Knowing the Organization will one day clash against the Three Horsemen, the Chosen convene and develop the Tier 5 Chaos spell **World Severance** for the occasion. When Xenagrosh faces Dusk and Dawn in the Gorgon Empire, she summons the other Eldritches, successfully forcing them to flee with Night's help. Xenagrosh, Bytra, Eycos, Hushar, Kigan, Nelia, and Cyare prove to be a match against the white-cored Baba Yaga with her mage tower when they face off during Night's attack on Lutia (excluding Nandi, who joins the Organization after the event, and Tezka) . Baba Yaga even admits she can't take them all on by herself, though claims she can take half of them down with her.

#### Human-Abomination Hybrid

The Master develops a procedure that implants a secondary black core made of Abomination tissues into a normal, un-Awakened human mage while using gene tanks filled with reserve humans and Abominations as life force supply. and conducts this procedure upon themself for several reasons - to keep up with their Abomination partners whom they consider family, and extending their own life and risking themself as they have asked others to risk themselves for them many times in the past. The Master uses dregs of Garlen society - addicts, drunkards, thugs, gamblers, homeless bums; all people who have nothing to offer to society but more misery - as the life force supply, thus allowing the three Great Countries to focus their welfare on people whose lives are worth saving.

The procedure succeeds and the Master becomes the first artificial human-Abomination hybrid as well as the first Awakened Abomination. They proceed to learn true magic from the Eldritches.

The Master keeps an open line with the Awakened Council because they want the Eldritches to have a place to belong once they manage to turn them into fully living beings while the Awakened seek the knowledge of the Eldritches and Bytra's secrets. Vareen the Plaguespreader defects from the Organization, too impatient to wait for the Master to find them a suitable monster species, and is subsequently killed by Aylen the Lich during the Urgamakka Council test.

Though the Master had long since found a way to determine which monster core is better suited to become the counterpart of one of the Eldritches at their service, the number of Eldritch-monster hybrids remains stuck at nine. They had learned from Bytra's case that the original Abomination can't always be trusted with such power; insane creatures would only grow crazier and betray them the moment they get what they want. Xenagrosh's case, instead, had shown them that younger didn't mean also better. Just like Tezka, her younger self was too conceited and deranged to be of any use for their plan. For that reason, once the Master created a new clone, they would keep it a secret.

The Master would take their time to watch them from afar and determine whether they were better, worse, or just the same as their original before letting them merge. In Vareen's case, after confirming that both the clone and the original are as dangerous as a live grenade, the Master has the clone suppressed. Vareen's betrayal was no surprise, but it still causes a lot of frictions with the Council that they have to deal with.

After Vareen's death his pocket dimension becomes available for the taking and with it his legacy. The Master had found it for a while thanks to Life Vision, but the many protections surrounding the artifact made it impossible to get close to the source of the pocket dimension without Vareen noticing. To make matters worse, there was no way to remove his imprint or to keep him from retrieving it with a thought no matter the distance thanks to the link with his life force. Once Vareen had died, however, the protections had lost most of their power and there was no one who could respond to their call when triggered. Xenagrosh splits the legacy between the hybrids to make sure that each one of them deepens their understanding of their respective fields.

Bytra in particular studies the Plaguespreader's work on Chaos magic in hopes of finding a way to employ Mirror Magic like Aylen the Lich had, increasing her chances of victory in the case she has to fight a white cored Awakened if not even a Guardian. She pairs up with Nandi the Minotaur Eldritch, approaching the secret of tower crafting. She learns from the Horsemen's attack on the Kingdom that towers can actually move along with their owners.

The war with the Undead Courts creates a power vacuum among criminals that the Organization desperately works to fill, as not only is the Master's research always lacking funds, but also because controlling the black market means having access to all kinds of rare resources. Moreover, magical metals and ingredients are strictly regulated so the black market is the only reliable source that allows the Organization to avoid the scrutiny of the three Great Countries. The Master spreads their Abominations everywhere, gaining capillary control over most of the illegal business on Garlen.

#### Balkor Copycat

In their vendetta against Lith and his allies, the Balkor copycat makes an attempt on Zinya Yehval's life in Lutia, hiring multiple mercenary groups from the underworld. They are stopped thanks to Tezka, who decimates most of the mercenaries. When they attempt to escape, Tezka's cursed spells follow them through their Warp Gates, resulting in most mercenary units having their headquarter locations exposed. Moreover, the Master puts a bounty on the heads of the survivors so big that no matter where they go, they have no allies. The Organization scours the illegal routes out of the Kingdom and patrols the alleged safe houses.

### War of the Griffons

Currently, there is immense untapped potential in both the human and monster hybrids, and further efforts have been focused on exploiting this. The new monster-Abomination hybrids need to become acclimated to having a real physical body again, bringing back and developing their bloodline abilities, and rediscovering branches of magic that were near impossible to perform as an Abomination, such as dimensional magic.[*Reference needed*]

To fully refine this untapped potential, the Organization follows a simple yet radical system that is rare among the highest levels of Awakened society -cooperation. Each Abomination hybrid has a specialty and a goal which they pursue. For instance, Tezka is a master dimensional mage, Nandi works to provide mana crystals and huge quantities of world energy, while Bytra forges equipment for the whole Organization. This results in rapid growth, due to shared information and effort.[*Reference needed*]

Many of the most ancient and powerful Eldritch Abominations joined the Organization due to having reached a limit in the amount of strength they could achieve on their own. The Organization has broken these barriers with not just the transformation of the Abominations into new creatures but also with the vast amounts of knowledge it has on hand. Its members have shared millenia worth of Abomination techniques and revealed the bloodline and legacy knowledge they had accumulated in their old lives. They still freely share information as they work as a group to further their plans.[*Reference needed*]
