Simic Combine

"The Simic Combine's medical treaments are so advanced its like watching magic come alive." --Doctor Jennifer Keller

The emotionally distant relationship that the Simic biomancers have with the rest of Nyxian society makes the common man wary of the guild, thinking of them as crazy mutant makers. Even so, the Simic make up the physicians of Nyxian Galaxy and so injuries and illness are taken to the reputable doctors.

Public Agenda

The original purpose of the Simic Combine was to preserve the health of all Nyxian life-forms. They were devoted to the study of life, medicines, and biomancy. But just as life can adapt, so did the Combine. Momir Vig, the Simic guildmaster, was dissatisfied with this original purpose and formed a new purpose: to improve upon life-forms of Nyxborn. For this, he created cytoplasts, a bio-magical mass of living tissue, appearing as blue-green globules. These globules convey genetic information to and from any life-form they come into physical contact with.

History

Unfortunately for Vig, the Nyxborn people did not want to be improved or to undergo the surgery required to receive the benefits (except Simic members and people requiring prosthetics), so Vig created a new version of cytoplast that only need to come into contact with a host in order to bond with it. This allowed Vig to improve the people of the Nyxian Galaxy without needing their consent. Vig allied with Svogthir and planned to create and activate his Project Kraj to cleanse Nyxborn and start over. He was consequently killed by Agrus Kos. With the fall of Momir Vig, the Simic were left in desrepair, until the Nyxian subterranean merfolk emerged.

Territories

Zameck is the current Simic Guildhall dimension, created after the destruction of Novijen. Zameck is not a particularly ceremonial or celebratory place. In Zonot Seven, a huge chamber just below the surface has been cleared of debris and serves as the gathering place for all the speakers, as well as a place where non-Simic visitors can meet with Zegana or other Combine emissaries. The roof contains many openings to the sky covered over with plax to create opalescent skylights, which makes the chamber seem almost as though it's underwater. Thick cords of kelp buttress the walls of the huge chamber, and algae cakes the corners and edges of walls and floors.
