Metamor Keep
Metamor Keep is a place situated between the Midlands and the Northern lands. People who live in the Keep protect the Midlands from invasion of the Lutins, the Giants and other creatures of the North. 6 years previous to most of the Metamor Keep stories, the Wizard Nasoj tried to take over the Keep and invade the South with an army. He was beaten, and the battle became known as the Battle of the Three Gates, but not without a cost.
During theBattle of the Three Gates, Nasoj and his wizards cast three spells down each of the gates. Spell 1 transformed its victims into incrediably buxom women or overporportioned men. Spell 2 made its victims full animals. Spell 3 infantilized its victims. The Keep wizards were able to partially reverse the spell, but not totally. After the initial spells were adjusted by the Keep Wizards, a secondary effect appeared. Even if a person wasn't affected by the original spells, if they spent more than 2 weeks or so at the Keep, they would be randomly affected by one of these spells.
