− | + | Lycanthrops include were-creatures of all sorts, though typically wolves are the most common. Lycanthrops are a type of Gallain similar to the Adhene who live largely in the Dreaming. Unlike the Adhene, however, Lycanthrops were not heavily involved in the Tessarakonta. This was in part due to the fact that they are a less common and less unified group than any of the Kiths or Adhene, but also to the fact that it didn't matter much to them which side came out on top in the conflict. | |
− | Historically | + | Historically Lycanthrops were the embodyment of dreams concerning the terrifying brutality and sheer relentlessness of nature. However recently as humans begin to realize the consequences of their impact on the environment the lycanthrops begin more frequently to be associated with the imbalanced natural world struggling to right it's self and wreaking havoc on it's antagonists in the process. |
Lycanthrops living in the Dreaming typically inhabit communities of humanoid chimera which live near forrests or other large wild areas. In most dreaming societies they blend into the local population without much notice, although at least one town composed entirely of Lycanthrops is known to exist, and in a few less civilized realms there are free ranging tribes of Lycanthrops. | Lycanthrops living in the Dreaming typically inhabit communities of humanoid chimera which live near forrests or other large wild areas.

It's rumored that a few of these fearsome creatures even underwent the Changeling Way ritual in the ancient past and have bound themselves to particular mortal bloodlines cropping up every few generations to trouble the world again. The mortal offspring of such families are very frequently Kinain with telltale signs of their lycanthropic ancestry, which in the past had caused them to be shunned in human society. In modern days though few of their neighbors bother to think about the possabilities of werewolves in their midst. | It's rumored that a few of these fearsome creatures even underwent the Changeling Way ritual in the ancient past and have bound themselves to particular mortal bloodlines cropping up every few generations to trouble the world again.

These tend to be more focused on restoring nature's balance and place in the world than in causing humans terror for the sheer love of it. Some even claim to be guided in this by a powerful "goddess" of nature referred to as "Gaia". |
