Broken Ones are humans who has suffered from extreme surgical experimentation involving magic. They are twisted bitter creatures living far away from others in small communities led usually by a greater version of themselves. Each broken one is twisted in form with animal parts attached or replacing parts of their anatomy. This causes severe pain for so many of them suicide is common. Those that live eke out an existence farming, hunting, and living a rudimentary live with others. Most are sterile as a result though there are a few cases of live young. Those that survive are as twisted as their parents. Nobody knows for sure exactly where the first broken one comes from, though it is rumoured to be from a demiplane where pain and anguish are a constant.
