Chimeromancy
The Art
Chimeromancy is the art of combining creatures and monsters through genetics and alchemy. It is heavily practices in the nation states of Arambashia where it is used to create beasts of war.
Study of the art of Chimeromancy goes back ages, predating even the Runic age. It was passed down between teacher and student, each taking steps to hide the methods they used. Only recently have Chimeromancers started keeping records and even sharing data between each other.
Chimeromancer's are heavily grounded in science before magic, advocating that the building blocks of creation must first be understood at a mundane level before introducing the arcane.
