Editing Bretheren of Blood (section)

The legend says that, following the fall of the Anarai, the twins became obsessed with regaining the divinity they had lost. They devised a hypothesis; that the Zahar were but a tiny fraction of the Anarai, but that enough fractions added together still make a whole. With their combined knowledge of transmutation, blood, and bodies, they began work on Amalgams: combinations of animals, constructed to test if the twins could form a greater whole from lesser parts. Many of the early experiments lived brief, torturous lives, but through more refined processes the twins were able to create new life forms, even capable of reproducing.

Some [[Mukasa]] storytellers like to claim that the descendants of some of these early experiments still live in the [[Salt Desert]] &mdash; notably, the lizard horses ridden by the [[Mukasa]], and the desert's notorious bone wasps &mdash; but this is not verifiable from any early Zahar records.
