Jorogumo

The jorogumo are a shape-shifting, spider-like, extinct race of extremely powerful meshworkers.

History

Thousands of years ago, the Jorogumo were a plague upon existence. They fed upon and enslaved all races. The Bastion (as a military organization) was formed to defeat them.

The Bastion erased the power of the Jorogumo, sealing their portal and trapping them in suspended animation in what would become Cordis. It was on this site the Bastion's fortress was built. The city of Cordis grew around it.

At that time, one of the last Jorogumo placed a curse, a prophecy that an outsider with green eyes would someday destroy the Bastion.

The few Jorogumo remaining were hunted down and killed. A few survived, enough so that Jorogumo nests are found every now and then, and when they are, rixators kill them.

Jorogumo Magic

Jorogumo have their own magic system, serecumesh, which differs from the filament-based system used by most other practitioners. Jorogumo's spinnerets create their magic fibers. Hatchlings myst be fed an anemone polyp as their first meal, otherwise their spinnerets do not develop magical abilities.
