History
The Deminor were once created to serve Lord Raxium the lord of chaos. They were made to be masters of their body and able to enhance themselves by shifting their physical attributes to mimic aspects of the animals the primal spirits embodied.
Though eventually they craved freedom like all the other races before them. This is when the hero Talion came to save the day as he lead his people against their lord. He was also one of the key members of the rebel army that would be formed by the united races.
With the fall of the ancients they carved out a piece of territory in the spirit forest. They took on the duty of working with the primal spirits and even some elemental that lived there. They also chose to protect relics and ruins left over by the ancients in hopes that their cursed power wouldn't be used.
It was during the first decedent war that the Deminor peaceful lives began to change. The Volza who were once allies began to crave the most powerful artifacts left by the ancients. The Deminor stood strong with the aid of the other beast clans in holding off the Volza. Though they would not be the ones to defeat them as the first of the sin bound awoke and passed judgement on the Volza. It wouldn't be long before the Andelics who were allies of the deminor to die out as well, from attempting to seal away the sin bound.
