In this world, "variant races" represent different paths humanity has taken through genetic engineering, cultural evolution, and interaction with supernatural forces. Rather than traditional fantasy races, these variants emerged from human choices, scientific advancement, and spiritual discoveries. Some sought physical perfection like the Dragonborn, others pursued extended lifespans like the Elves, while groups like the Dwarves embraced and redefined their differences. The emergence of Devils and Tieflings came about through humanity's growing understanding of zero-point energy and its relationship with occulted spirituality.
Each variant race tells a story of how different groups of humans chose to modify themselves or were changed by their beliefs and observations of reality, creating a diverse post-human society where the line between science and spirituality has become increasingly blurred.
