Anemysis – [anemeesis] A gift to humans from the gods/overlords during the Years of Darkness (~2,000 years prior to Wolf’s Run). It unlocked and enhanced human’s natural abilities. Additionally, the memories and muscle memory (skills) of a human can be passed onto their children and grandchildren, and so on. For example, a soldier at age 15 would have something equivalent to a couple of lifetimes worth of battle experience if their father and grandfather had both also been soldiers. During puberty and beyond, actual memories of ancestors can manifest in descendants, particularly in place of dreams when sleeping. This gift was designed to fade from human bloodlines after a few generations.
