Chris is the animal control technician for Arena 99, and possibly other places. When he was at Whateley he went by Phlogiston. We've no idea what his mutation is. A goofy-looking middle-aged guy in a no-longer-white labcoat stepped out from behind some shelves of supplies and said, “Hey there Sergeant. Brought us another animal lover?” The guy looked about forty and still had brown hair, but had a hairline like Anna’s grampa, with a little thing about two inches wide going around his head above his ears, and then a really bad comb-over.

  • Phlogiston is the miracle substance driving most technology in Azeroth. Phlogiston is a gas collected from the air and distilled into vials of liquid phlogiston; Produced by phlogiston collectors, vials of liquid phlogiston contain a precise mixture of oil, water and gas. Liquid phlogiston allows smaller boilers to burn at tremendous temperatures and pressures that enable portable tinker technology and gigantic vehicles to operate. Liquid phlogiston — odorless, weightless, and almost undetectable — makes steam technology practical by speeding combustion and increasing the heat produced by steam boilers. In addition to its application in technological devices, phlogiston has found use in elixirs that alter the imbiber’s abilities for a short time. Many technological devices use phlogiston as fuel. The first samples of phlogiston were collected in labs of dwarf tinkers in Khaz Modan when a vacuum pump was used to collect superheated air over a kettle of molten iron. In the years since, the process has been much refined leading to the development of the phlogiston collector. Alchemists have found a way to combine phlogiston with gunpowder, combining the explosive power of gunpowder with the phlogiston accelerant.

From Greyspace, however, it is a relatively simple matter to travel to either Realmspace or Krynnspace, strong currents leading to both spheres. From Krynnspace one can easily move to Realmspace, but travel directly to Greyspace from Krynnspace is impossible.
