The Wolfkin

From Convergence

The Wolfkin are an old thing, a thing from the First Day when men and wolves ran and hunted together side by side. While that time has been lost in the endless turnings of the wheel, what was may come yet again. So it is now with the Wolfkin who have come to be, even as the current age, called the third age by some, approaches its end. Men and women who stand halfway between humanity and wolf.

These Wolfkin are gathered at a single Stedding in the lands that were once Manetheren’s and are now owned by none. There they gather and learn to control their gift. Those who are first brought to the Stedding are known as Wanderers, those who are suffering from the Howling that threatens to overwhelm their humanity and are in need of a guide. Given mentors, they are taught the basics of their new heritage. Until they have mastered the basics and overcome the Howling, these people are known as Wolfcubs as they are still young in the ways of their new nature. When they have achieved some sense of control they become known as Wolfbrother or Wolfsister.
