The Misborn

Also known as Gleps, The Disfigured, or Mutants; were beings who suffered from major genetic mutations as result of the Thousand-Year summer's unhindered and poisonous sunlight. The Misborn were the descendants of those who were especially exposed to the radiation of the suns rays, and they suffered extreme mutations as a result of this. These included but were not limited to missing or extra limbs, eroded and disfigured skin texture, or extended lifespans.

The Misborn were generally feared by the general public, due to their often horrific appearances as well as ancient blood libels against deformity. They were often ostracized from society and forced to live their lives in seclusion as hermits, or join other Misborn in small isolated communities known as Glep Colonies. But certain Misborn did not suffer from the physical mutations of their fellow mutants, and looked strikingly normal, these Misborn were referred to as dupes. Dupes were even more greatly feared due to their ability to mix in with society, and many feared them spreading for the possibility of them spreading their mutated genes to their newborn children.

The vast majority of communities greatly distrusted and feared the Misborn, but there were a few exceptions. Notably the Pragmatic Archivists
