A werewolf is a person who bares the curse of a demon from long ago. Not very much is known about why the curse carries on from person to person other than that it seems to be passed through a werewolf's bite. Legend has it that the first person to bare the demon's curse was a man who had lost his wife while she was in labor with their first born child. When his child became ill soon after, he threw himself at the mercy of a powerful demon. The demon agreed to lift the illness from the man's child but, it would come at the cost of his soul. Stricken with grief at the loss of his wife and desperate to save his only child, the man quickly agreed. Upon returning home, the man found that his child's illness had been lifted just as the demon had promised. But, in that moment, he heard the demon's voice within him as it whispered, “I will return on the night of the full moon to collect my payment.” Instantly, the man regretted what he had done because he feared that he would die when the demon took his soul. He wanted nothing more than to raise his child and care for him so, in a panic, the man fled with his child. But, upon the night of the full moon, he found that there was no use in running because the demon had followed them every step of the way. He refused to make good upon their deal and in a rage, the demon cursed him. His body twisted as his joints cracked and his flesh took on a new form. The man cried out in agony as his body took on a new appearance. Soon, his cries became howls as he finally appeared as half a man and half a wolf. He no longer had the ability to think beyond his basic instincts and his most pressing thought was his hunger. But, the only flesh around was that of his child... Upon waking the next morning, the man found himself lost within the wilderness and all alone. He had no memory of the previous night. He suddenly realized that his child was no where to be found and began to frantically search for him. But, he could not find him. Stricken with guilt and sorrow at the thought of loosing his son, the man attempted to kill himself but found that no wound could kill him. He was forced to live with his grief and sorrow. For centuries, the man lived in isolation never knowing of his curse until one night lit by the full moon a warrior struck him with a final and fatal blow. Then, the man fell to his knees as his body quickly reverted back to that of a man. Ever so quietly, the man whispered, “Thank you.” That was the knight that the people of Eibolen learned that the way to slay a werewolf is to strike them down with a weapon made of blessed silver.



Werewolves are ferocious beasts that have a ravenous hunger and are very swift upon their feet. Furthermore, their stamina seems to know no bounds. They will hunt their prey endlessly until they can finally make the kill. They are also nearly impossible to slay as the curse they bare grants them the ability of rapid regeneration and near immortality. Be wary of the werewolf's bite because if you are bitten, you will bare the same curse as the beast. The only known way to slay the beast is with a blade forged from silver and blessed by a priestess.
