No-one is completely sure as to how the Half-breeds came to be. It could be the truth has been lost to the wastelands of Time or maybe it’s just that the truth is simply too traumatic to contemplate. Either way they exist; a midway point between the world of the Human and the world of the Troll. They are almost as strong as the Troll and and almost as intelligent as the Human. But find they are rejected by both.

 

One theory as to how they came to exist is that many years ago, not long after the Rift, whilst Men were still forming their Factions, the Trolls began harvesting a brand new crop; Humans. They took some as food but some they took for recreation. It is said that the ones who were eaten were the lucky ones.

 

From this corrupted recreation, a sub breed of Troll was sired. These became known as the Half-breeds. While the Trolls viewed this new breed with suspicion and contempt they understood enough to see that they had created a group that they could dominate and control; weaker than a Troll but much stronger than the weak puny frame of a Human. They now had a natural slave resource, subservient to the Trolls. And so the Trolls took more humans and continued to make more half-breeds.

 

And so it went for many years, the Half-Breeds living in the filth created by the Trolls. Fetching, carrying, Beaten and abused, they were often killed when they were no longer useful. Many attempts were made to escape but each failed and with each failure came the repercussions. But this did not stop them from trying!

 

And as is the natural order of things the Half Breeds began reproducing between themselves. A generation of natural Half-breed came to exist; pure Half-breeds, if you will. A breed unto themselves. Foolishly the Trolls saw no issue with this. Their slave population now was able to maintain itself without the need to debase themselves with humans. But as the numbers of Half-breeds grew, the Trolls failed to recognise the rising threat, growing beneath them.

 

Though most of the details have been lost to history, it is thought that one faithful day, a brave half-breed was pushed beyond his limits. He was forced to watch as his love was brutally beaten to death in front of him by their Troll captor. His mind, pushed beyond breaking point, snapped. Legend tells that he broke his chains with his bare hands and clubbed the Troll to death with his bleeding fists. He was able to free a few more Half breeds and escaped into the wild. This gang of freedom fighters steadily grew as they freed more and more half breeds, eventually setting up a colony of their own. And so the Half-breeds came to be.

 

Despite being shunned by both Trolls and Humans they existed and flourished. And while they didn’t like their human cousins, they hated the Trolls.

 

So when the opportunity to join Battle Arena arrived, they jumped at the chance. This is more than sport for the Half Breeds. This is revenge.

 

They worship their own God called Chimar.
