Land of Mutants

Some very high tech - mostly very low culture and technology. Magic is very

powerful. Most of the high tech stuff is in areas that are cordoned off.

These are areas of land that were destroyed by the mutagen bombs and

interbreeding with battle beasts.

At one time Isis was the center for genetic research for all the worlds.

Thus, today it has the wides variety of animals of any planet. There are so

many creatures and so many variations of races within each species, there

is no one who has cataloged them all.

The Institute of Genetic Maintenance was originally establised when fears

arose in the leaders of the planets that experiments and programs of

genetic manipulation underway could get totally out of hand. It was at

first just a small testing station where proposed species alterations could

be tested more or less "in the wild". Some of these mutations were not

viable and died off, but many were so well designed that all attempts to

eradicate them have failed.

The worst cases were the Battle Beasts. These were creatures bred for

no reason other than to do battle for their owners. There were few other

beasts or humanoids who could successfully defeat one of these creatures.

They were supposed to be sterile as only males were raised, but many found

other species (usually the base species which was altered) to inter breed

with. Some of these bastard bred creatures are even more powerful than the

original creation! They are always deadly, and there is a sizable bounty on

them, payable in gold at any outpost or garrison. Many land owners also

offer bounties twice the normal for creatures killed on their lands.

Even today Munt is a popuar sport. Munt is short for mutant hunt. The

idea is a hang over from the days where such hunts were necessay to prevent

monsters from over running civilized town and cities. it is a stylish

thiing to do even today, and fortunes and reputations have been won by the

best of these "exterminators".
