History
All motes are lost souls that were processed by the Resonator in the Shrouded Lands. They are totally different than they were before.
They start their life as simple motes of light, knowing little but their own existence. Gradually discovering others of their own kind. The older ones teach the younger ones what they need to know about life and their future. The young are tested to learn their gifts and taught how to use them. The most common gift is that of shifting. Their state is fluid, most can only change into basic animals, plants, or elements. Some can use magic or shift into human form.
They gained their abilities when they noticed strange beings visiting the mists. By watching and copying, they began learning the rules of magic, but because they were made of the “stuff” of magic/life/chaos/shadow these became abilities instead.
Soon they began to have the itch to travel beyond the Mists of their birth. To search for “something,” their other half. The urge to help and protect them. Some think these people are destined for greatness or at least to do a deed important to the future. No one knows the truth except the being that created them. [maybe Akadi, Goddess of Air ]
As they age and leave the Mists, their early life is forgotten except in dreams. They can sense a kinship with others of their kind, even though they usually look different. Some take years to find their bonded one, while others grow up with them.
