Implications of Social-Construct terms of "Humanity" and "Beast"

[Jandor]

"Humans" (playable races) are distinctly different from the beastmen. The Dragons, Omega, and the Ancients explicitly distinguish humans from non-human races. So far there is no evidence that human souls can reincarnate as anything other than another human.

Maybe the beastmen are the "new life" seeded by Zodiark and the humans are fractured ancients. Probably not that straightforward but an interesting idea.
