-In many ways, the [[chosen:|Chosen]] are what [[avishraa:|Avishraa]] was built on - not least because Shyriath-the-character, for whom the setting was built, was one. [[https://www.schlaugh.com/~/veZIjAD|@pinkgothic]] has gone into the OOC history of the Chosen before, but I wanted to touch on this subject again, mostly because, in the current continuity, there are some things that have changed since their [[amberworld:|original conception]].

 That's why, instead, they're visually indistiguishable from other than being small. This first becomes apparent at about one cycle of age (five or six Earth years), so as it is, Chosen children tend to be at a disadvantage in all-takma environments. (It also means that unusually small individuals tend to be branded as "witches" regardless of their actual magical ability.) The Chosen also (mostly) have a rather higher chance of developing cancer than their non-magical cousins. In the few settlements in which large numbers of Chosen live together, this isn't as much of an issue, as the lifegivers can cure cancers, as they can many other things, with relative ease; those Chosen not in a position to either be or see a lifegiver, however, have to rely on luck.
-Third, as @pinkgothic has mentioned, the [[culture:organization:hzataalar|equivalent]] of the Hzataalar Kaea hasn't really come along - yet. The nucleus of the movement, however, has formed around [[person:dlyss|Dlyss]], an Oracle - a Chosen with the extremely rare [[chosen:magic:span|talent of manipulating time and space]]. With the help of the [[person:zadireth|modern incarnation of Zadireth]], her husband and chief facilitator, she is trying to spur the Chosen of the Citadel to take up her vision of inevitable war between the Chosen and the rest of takmakind. This will, eventually, include similar kinds of "self-perfecting" alterations to reduce the gap in physical capabilities.
