Werewolves

Werewolves also know as canis lunus or lycanthopes. They were created when a great king named lycaon began to eat humans that lived in his city. He thought that if he ate someone that he would consume their soul and by doing so gain their power and preserve his youth. He started a cult that was made up by the richest mortals in the city. Each month they would meet on the full moon and eat a human of between the ages of 11 to 17. During one very busy time lycaon had not had time to obtain a worthy mortal to consume when he informed the others they became enraged and attacked him and then ate him. However before he died grim appeared and offered him a chance to live on in the minds of his murderers and their descendants on the full moon but for the rest of the month he would serve him lycaon accepted. So the murders of lycaon became the first werewolves. Werewolves are not vulnerable to silver or wolfsbane or any other weakness of folklore. When they are fully transformed lycanthopes look like a very ugly man wolf hybrid while in this state they are much stronger. If someone is bitten they don't become a werewolf instead one must be born into one of the 8 lycanthope orders and have eaten another human but if they don't eat another human for 9 years they will become human again and this process can repeat. Werewolves are divided into 8 orders and each order is descended from one or more of the first 18 werewolves.
