Much of a Leviathans life is a quest for an identity. Faced with a truly monstrous heritage and a world belonging to another people a Leviathan must construct for themself a way of life that accepts what they are with all its horrors yet is morally acceptable. They must do this without any authoritative history or culture to provide guidance, values or codes of conduct. No Leviathan has found the answer, there's no guidebook to success and harmony in the world of man or divine dominion over the seas. Yet though no Leviathan has found the answer some Leviathans have found an answer. It's not the right answer, the correct answer or even necessarily a good answer but it's their answer. | Much of a Leviathans life is a quest for an identity.

This is both accurate and bitter self depreciation. It is accurate in the genetic sense for a Leviathans transformation is as much a reflection of their own mind as their heritage. An Evolution is visible in the transformed body and as new and unique Adaptations and abilities. Yet calling it Evolution is a bitter satire of the Tribe, an Evolution is not hereditary. Though it can be taught each Leviathan must learn it anew. Most Evolutions never see a second adherent and though some have formed the basis of Legions none have survived the test of time. To the astute observer the word Evolution only demonstrates the Tribe's millennia long failure to meaningfully evolve. |
