Subject #9, codenamed Deku, was just a tool for the facility to use. A genetic hybrid, the perfect super soldier. Unfortunately for them, he had morals, sacrificing his life to free his brethren from the eternal torture of the lab. Now, he finds him...
A/N: This chapter is a very long one, based on a map I created for the land of Estaria, which is the continent on which everything takes place. This is written from the perspective of the Knowledge Lord, and is sort of a guide to a lot of the world building aspects, the nations, and so on. This is both for me and for you, just so that things don't get lost in the story. However, it is not required to read this chapter, as I plan on still doing world building in a more natural way throughout the rest of the story. This is really just if you WANT to read it and know more. Also I'll probably include the map in another chapter just to make sure people see it. I'm not the best graphic designer so I did my best lol! Enjoy!

Estaria's Grace, by Knowledge Lord, Kyudai Garaki Leagice
A Guide to Estaria, Representative of the Year 1386
INTRODUCTION:
As the Knowledge Lord, it is my greatest desire and ultimate life purpose to know everything I can about the world. I am no different than anyone else who craves knowledge, I must seek it out myself, I am not gifted it just because I was born as the Knowledge Lord.
While it is true that I rarely interfere in mortal problems, I believe that this book is an acceptable intervention. In my time spent traveling and learning, I have come to realize that our various species don't know all that much about the world around us, or even each other.
This book was written with the collaboration of many species and Shifters and includes quotes from them from time to time.
Many of the facts in this book are not pleasant. They reflect the truth of society, not their idealized form. This is not a personal critique of their society, merely an honest examination. If you cannot handle those facts, you may want to put down this book.
