The Amalgamated were humans and creatures living in [[Dragonwilds:Ashenfall]] who had been imbued with elemental energy, resulting in unique physical powers and mutations. This was likely the result of humans living in close proximity to the region's [[Dragonwilds:Wild Anima]] being transformed like its indigenous fauna{{CiteJournal|journal=Druid's Memoirs|quote=There are wolves with manes made of leaves and deer with reed-like fronds as natural a part of them as their antlers... Perhaps, in time, that might happen to us. I think I would suit a beard made of leaves.}}. Many Amalgam-like creatures can still be seen wandering around to this day, including elementally-imbued sheep, cows, and chinchompas.

==History==
The Amalgamated humans began appearing sometime after [[Dragonwilds:Guthix]] and his followers established the village of [[Dragonwilds:Bramblemead Valley]] in the [[Dragonwilds:First Age]]. Jealousy sparked fierce prejudice against the Amalgamated immediately following their appearance. The Amalgamated were often seen as less than human, and were the subject of significant violence. The [[Dragonwilds:Wild Knights]] often risked their lives to sneak into towns and rescue Amalgamated from their persecution. However, the prejudice eventually culminated in a great [[Dragonwilds:schism]] where humans fought to purge Ashenfall of the Amalgamated.

==Variations==
===Fire===
The 'Fire-Touched' Amalgamated were said to have bodies which were so hot, they would 'cook' leather armor{{CiteJournal|journal=Hard Leather Cowl|quote=Fire-touched amalgamated were poorly suited to the armour, cooking the leather as they went.}}. Their skin was said to resemble burning coals and embers, and they were capable of channeling fire through their weapons{{CiteJournal|journal=Bronze Greatsword|quote=As one of the Amalgamated, Kessel’s skin glowed like burning coals, her battle scars resembling faint reddish embers. She harnessed this heat, channelling it through her sword. Her magic set the blade ablaze...}}.
===Air===
It is said that Amalgamated imbued with the power of air could guide arrows mid-flight{{CiteJournal|journal=Oak Longbow|quote=Gifted with the element of air, his arrows curved gracefully with each shot, missing traps, tricks and deceptions.}}.
===Nature===
Some Amalgamated possessed plant-like mutations{{CiteJournal|journal=Hard Leather Cowl|quote=But those affected by plant-like mutations would enjoy blending leather and leaf.}}, including leaves for hair{{CiteJournal|journal=Reinforced Legs|quote=The villagers saw the marks of the elemental corruption on the guards and would turn and walk the other way. They would refuse to report a crime if they saw leaves instead of hair.}}.

==Named Amalgamated==
* [[Dragonwilds:Mia Larsdottir]]: The first of the Amalgamated, who was murdered at age 21 with a bronze dagger, likely by her father who was ashamed of bringing an Amalgamated into the world. Her body was left in the forest rather than given a proper funeral. {{CiteJournal|journal=Bronze Dagger|quote=For Mia Larsdottir, it was a bronze dagger that pierced her heart, cutting her life short at the age of twenty-one. As the first of the Amalgamated, she had never expected to reach any of the milestones her peers traditionally followed. She did not expect to be married, and she never let herself dream of being a mother. She thought, perhaps, that she might be allowed to carve a quiet little place for herself, somewhere with room for cats. But a bronze dagger stole that dream from her. Her killer was never brought to justice, though there were rumours about who they were. Her father, being the chief suspect, ashamed as he was to bring the first of the unnatural Amalgamated into the world. He denied it, of course, but he never held a funeral for her. Instead, her body was left in the forest, where nature might put her at peace.}}

* [[Dragonwilds:Kessel]]: An Amalgamated Wild Knight whose skin glowed like burning coals. She favored a bronze greatsword in battle and could channel her fiery nature through it, setting the blade ablaze. Her attack on a young garou prince helped trigger the war between humans and garou. {{CiteJournal|journal=Bronze Greatsword|quote=The Wild Knight Kessel was unusual in her choice of weaponry. Where most of the order chose to wield bows, daggers, or swift blades, Kessel favoured a bronze greatsword. On the battlefield, she hefted it across her shoulders, never letting the hilt leave her grip. As one of the Amalgamated, Kessel's skin glowed like burning coals, her battle scars resembling faint reddish embers. She harnessed this heat, channelling it through her sword. Her magic set the blade ablaze, a sight that struck terror into the hearts of her enemies. With great arcs of red flame, she cleaved through enemy forces, incinerating them as she severed their limbs from their bodies. On one fateful day, she would use this technique against a force of garou hunters. The battle was long, hard, and brutal, and both sides faced great casualties. But it was when she sliced her blade across the young garou prince that war was inevitable.}}

* [[Dragonwilds:Derien]]: An Amalgamated archer gifted with control over air who won Bramblemead's archery tournament, causing the competition to end out of jealousy. {{CiteJournal|journal=Oak Longbow|quote=However, this stopped after the Amalgamated archer, Derien, joined the game. Gifted with the element of air, his arrows curved gracefully with each shot, missing traps, tricks and deceptions. His victory earned the Amalgamated more jealousy, which led to the competition ending out of envious spite.}}
