- While under the effects of Potion of Polymorphic Translation: Nerubian
Shortly after Queen Ansurek assumed control of the throne, she introduced our kingdom to our first new form in millennia.
The Ascended.
Using a process kept secret by Grand Splicer Izo, the Ascended are astonishingly fast, powerful, and cunning. They master many traits previously unattainable by other nerubians[sic] forms and are quite capable casters and venom wielders.
But for all their advancements, they suffer a shortcoming in their inability to sense scents. Their awareness of nerubians[sic] pheromones, perfected over long eons to assist in communicating with each other and dominating lesser insects, is all but non-existent.
Their ability to emit pheromones of any consistency or coherency is absent. This has caused a divide in the ranks of the Last Kingdom as many nerubians view these new Ascended as incomplete, or aberrations. They are alien in both physique and scent.
Yet our queen wills their existence, and thus it shall be so.
