The War of Creatures
Military actionChit'khron was the first person to reunite most of the Nephilim since its destruction after the Deranoran conquest. As a gnome, Chit'khron had a cultural distaste for humans and what he saw as their arrogant, self-serving ways. Due to relatively recent history and growing human expansion of the time, it was to be expected that this idea was especially supported, but for him, this distaste grew to beyond extreme. To eradicate "the human tyranny", Chit'khron used the Nephilim in his very own way, by twisting living beings (especially humans) into new forms and human-animal hybrids.
