The quori had many years to plan their domination of the land of Sarlona through the use of the inspired and the quorbound, but while these breeds were successful, so too were their failures, such as the imago quori. Instead of creatures which hosted the mental quori in the physical body of a mortal host, the creatures became entanged, fused into a single body of spirit and flesh, and yet neither. Although it allowed a quori to reach the material plane, they were not in control and they were trapped in their bodies, and so the project was deemed a failure. Yet some who would seek such a fusion of nightmare and man rediscovered the ancient ritual to perform such an act, and in doing so gave a rebirth to the species of quori known as the imago quori, the "imitation quori".
