Infernal
Dusk eroded Tiamat's compassion, and she began to notice and eventually resent the ungratefulness and foolishness of humanity. This stance devolved until she could no longer bear to help humanity. She then grew bitter, separating from Bahamut and with 1/3 of the dragons, and began to actively work against Bahamut and humanity. For this betrayal, their scales changed from metallic to chromatic, symbolizing their rebellion. Tiamat's first plan was to teach humans magic, hoping that they could not handle the introduction of such power with the societal structures they had formed; while the emergence of human mages was problematic, it did not achieve her desired end.

Vampire
Dusk twisted Winston's sense of morality by making it extreme. He soon could not fathom how he could be a responsible steward of humanity with Brennan constantly undermining his efforts. He reached and acted upon the conclusion that Brennan need to be eliminated. Having murdered his deific brother over differing approaches to human progress, he was now the sole deity of humanity. Despite this supposed victory, his extremism only grew to the extent that he began to see the aspects of humans as they are, and not the aspects of humans as they can be, as most representative of humanity. He baptized his followers into what he now deemed to be the essence of humanity, and they have spread and plagued humans every since.

Revenant
With Death having forsaken his role, the spirits of nontheistic humans are left adrift on the ethereal plane after death. While most are consumed by Tiamat and Ouroboros's dragons or entered an everlasting daze due to the uniform emptiness of the ethereal plane, some managed to hide from dragons and stave off apathy and lethargy. Seeing that they have no hope in the afterlife, they call upon the negative forces of the universe to repossess and reconstruct their corporeal bodies so that they may "live" once more.

NPC

Deity
The servants of the great god, Dusk warped the minds of all but Carine, Thoth's ideological inverse. Deities not driven to madness or evil are still different from their former selves. Though of inferior influence, those attaining deific status after Dusk did not suffer this fate.

Dragon
One of the original sapient races, these reptilian paragons of magic were deeply afflicted by Dusk, transforming them into ethereal beings. Their allegiance is split between Bahamut, Tiamat, and Ouroboros.
