033 – Ikoit Akrylator

Nothing can destroy the Dreadwake. No weapon can harm the stuff of the void, no technology can eradicate the terrible, half-real creations it spawns in its fractal, incomprehensible ways. Only magic – another force that defied the laws of the material universe – could ever stand against the ever-shifting touch of the essence of madness, but the age of magic is waning quickly, and even the mightiest of spellcasters can barely create a werelight with great effort. But there are great realms and great minds working ceaselessly to find a way to if not fight the spreading corruption, at least contain it. And so, some decades ago, the Underempire in its vast industrious genius created a temporary albeit fool proof solution – encasing the changed matter in liquid resin, which hardens and trap the transformed threat virtually forever. For a time the bugs kept their discovery a secret, but soon it leaked to the surface, where other beings and kingdoms began to utilize their own version of the same strategy. The first adapters of this method were the elusive Ikoit – highly advanced race of bio-engineered scout organisms from another planet, left on the face of Posterra some long centuries ago in one of the many conflicts of the xeno races. They survived, they adapted and now form a nomadic clan that keeps to itself and sometimes let a glimpse of their advance tech to other races for vital resources, shelter or simply to forge an alliance fitting their goals.
