Beastkins are creatures that share the characteristics of both Humans and beasts. Due to their strength, they are bound by a seal that forces them to obey the bidding of their master; manual labor, killing monsters, fighting their kin for sport, and worse. Those ill fated individuals are called as familiars, a mere term to avoid using the word "slaves". Mest is unable to use magic, a feature that is very rare among Humans. His inability made him aware of his own helplessness. Hence, he decided to utilize the forsaken Beastkins to give him the power needed to fulfill his own objectives.
