Regenesis (Yalaerin)

The Regenesis was the largest genetic-engineering endeavor in Yalaerin history—an unprecedented species-wide reconstruction that dismantled millennia of pigment-based stratification and produced the engineered High Yalaerin. It marked the end of the divided Dakmonian and Laymonian breeding lines and the beginning of a new, authoritarian era in Yalaerin civilization.

Often called “the Night the Genome Was Rewritten,” the Regenesis is regarded by Yalaerin historians as both a triumph of Magicka-biotechnology and the birth of an empire built on engineered perfection.

Origins

For centuries, Yalaerin society splintered along rigid genetic lines:

the dark-skinned Dakmonian majority, carrying the dominant Xᴰ allele
the pale-skinned Laymonian minority, carrying the recessive Xᴾ allele
the Y chromosome Yᴰ, expressing only dark pigmentation

Aesthetic obsession—rooted in ancient contact with pale-skinned Nordite humans—created an unequal reproductive system. Males overwhelmingly selected Laymonian women, pushing Dakmonians into marginalization and destabilizing Yalaerin demographics.

This caste conflict generated:

severe genetic bottlenecking
widespread reproductive inequality
pigment-driven segregation
cultural stagnation
collapsing social cohesion

Yalaerin Magicka-technicians warned that the species was drifting toward biological collapse.

The Decision for Total Reconstruction

The Imperial Genome Councils proposed a radical solution: Erase the problem at the genetic level.

Stabilize the recessive allele. Rebuild the neural lattice. Correct sexual incompatibilities. Eliminate pigment hierarchy. Construct a unified phenotype.

In short:

> “Rewrite the Yalaerin into what they were meant to become.”

Thus began the Regenesis.

The Process

The Regenesis combined:

ultra-high-resolution Magicka sequencing
psionic-catalyst CRISPR analogues
ancestral phenotype mapping
controlled embryogenesis
spiritual-energetic lattice reweaving

The procedure was performed in continent-spanning Genome Citadels on Yalae Prime.

Goals of the Regenesis

The Gene Councils defined six primary objectives:

1. End pigment-driven reproductive imbalance 2. Stabilize a pale-toned phenotype without recessive fragility 3. Redesign sexual dimorphism to prevent reproductive injury 4. Amplify Magicka capacity and psionic stability 5. Eliminate inter-caste hierarchy biologically 6. Create a lineage capable of ruling a Magicka empire

They succeeded beyond expectation.

The High Yalaerin

The apex product of the Regenesis was the creation of the High Yalaerin—engineered descendants who combined the best neural, aesthetic, and physiological traits of both major castes.

Key Engineered Traits

pale-toned skin stabilized without recessive weakness
enlarged cranium with enhanced neural lattices
reduced male genital size (ending centuries of birth trauma)
permanent mammary development in females
widened female pelvis for safer childbirth
reinforced psionic-spinal conduits
reduced hormonal volatility
harmonized sexual dimorphism
stable Magicka channeling across all emotional states

The High Yalaerin were not merely modified Yalaerin—they were constructed as the successor form of the species.

Sociopolitical Transformation

Collapse of the Old Caste System

The Dakmonian–Laymonian divide was rendered obsolete overnight. Their genetic lines persisted only as historical remnants and minor phenotype memories.

High Yalaerin assumed near-instant control of:

imperial governance
Magicka academies
reproductive councils
cultural doctrine
interstellar expansion efforts

Yalaerin society reorganized into a new hierarchy with High Yalaerin at the pinnacle.

Resistance and Exile

Not all Yalaerin accepted forced genetic unification.

Some Dakmonian and Laymonian groups fled offworld, becoming the early ancestors of:

hybrid diaspora communities
non-imperial Yalaerin enclaves
future Neo Yalaerin populations

These diaspora communities preserved pre-Regenesis traditions lost on Yalae Prime.

Legacy

The Regenesis remains the most defining moment in Yalaerin history. Its consequences include:

creation of the High Yalaerin ruling caste
emergence of the Nokayalae and Neo Yalaerin through offworld hybridization
outlawing of the Nokadakmonian bloodline
interstellar expansion powered by Magicka-technological synergy
rigid purity laws inside the empire
flourishing hybrid cultures outside it

For some, the Regenesis is a masterpiece of species-level engineering. For others, it is the greatest atrocity the Yalaerin ever committed.
