Pactbeast Lore

Detailed lore regarding pactbeasts

Pactbeasts are classes of animals that have been infused with Orgone via experimentation, giving them the unique ability to utilize magic as well as greater strength than their regular counterparts. They serve as the familiars of both Dawnwing Organization Liberators and Duskwing Syndicate Subjugators, aiding their respective factions' soldiers in their endeavors.

New cadets of both factions are required to summon a pactbeast via a ceremony called the Bonding Ceremony. The pactbeast they summon determines what role they will receive; each role has two pactbeasts one can receive – one aerial and one terrestrial. The pactbeast will always be an adult when summoned.

Thanks to blessings received from the Guardian as well as the power of Orgone, all pactbeasts are able to utilize magic, which manifests as rainbow-colored energy. All pactbeasts are attuned to one of the five elements, and are able to utilize the element they are most closely aligned with both in and out of battle once their power level and bond with their summoner reach their maximum. When paired with such a sufficiently experienced summoner, the latter's Magicaster will sync with their pactbeast's element. Mage pactbeasts are unusual in that they are equally attuned to all elements and can cycle between them at will.

Losing a pactbeast or having their bond severed in any way is akin to losing a limb. Victims on both sides suffer intense side effects, including increased aggression towards themselves and others and severe depression.
