History

The human-pig hybrid, known in certain circles as PigFolk has its origins in the ancient, forbidden practices of necromancy, blood magic, and dark alchemy. Long before the modern age of adventurers, there existed a cult of wizards and sorcerers who sought to harness the power of both beasts and humans, driven by their obsession with combining the strength and resilience of animals with the intelligence and adaptability of humanity.

During the DeadZone War, a time when necromancy and dark science were at their peak, the Cult of Darkness came into existence. This secretive group, believed to be led by a twisted arch-mage named Theo Darkroot, was obsessed with transcending the limitations of natural life. The cult performed gruesome experiments on creatures of all kinds, seeking to merge the form and mind of different species in pursuit of an unknown goal.

It was during these grim experiments that the first human-pig hybrid was created. Using a combination of cursed rituals, alchemical concoctions, and dark pacts with infernal entities, Darkroot and his followers attempted to merge human intelligence with the superior strength and durability of the pig. They sought to create a race of beings capable of withstanding the harshest environments, bred to be warriors who could endure and fight endlessly.

The first successful hybrid was Gruk a towering, muscular creature with the mind of a human but the instincts of a wild pig. He was both sentient and brutal, intelligent but driven by primal urges. Gruk, however, was not content to remain a creation. Over time, he began to question his existence and rebel against his creators. He eventually escaped the lab in which he was confined, leading to a series of violent raids against the cult.
