The Fifth Dimension has enabled a colorful and almost unfathomable variety of large and small Champions of the Human Farm who roam the remote campsites and frequent the hidden institutes, the covens, and our distant colonies.
Countless shapeshifters and swindlers live among us, some of them so powerful and aggressive that hardly any author dared to rattle them. Most of them have been found in good employment, such as the well poisoners, headhunters, and bands of thieves.
Others have formed guilds of considerable influence or infiltrated the professions, such as the spellcasters, block wardens, and weathermen. They all have in common that they have rare talents or transmutations that made them stand out and apart from the low and middle natures—and thus gained exemption from the daily toil of petty labor—on what our Ministry of Abundance would call a higher station or a career path.
Not all champions are desirable or even useful to their interplanetary masters though, and quite a few have turned into renegades. Many more anthropomorphs—creatures that only appear human—lurk in the sciences, hide behind corrupt authorities, or exiled themselves into the human jungle.
This is a most comprehensive codex of the rare creatures on the Human Farm—what they set out to do and how to identify them.
Reader’s discretion is advised. This task was dark and Ulyssean.
