Werewolves

Werewolves are descendants of Lug, of the Tuatha de Danaan.

Description
Some werewolves look almost entirely human, but with a bit more fur and paw-like hands, while others appear indistinguishable from wolves, only with the intelligence of a human. The majority are somewhere in between. Werewolves cannot shift their appearance.

History
Long ago, the Tuatha Lug assumed a lupine form and sired many half-breed children that would become what are known as werewolves. Early werewolves look almost entirely human, much like their godly father. But as the generations passed, they became less human and more wolf-like.

Culture
In the Celtic era, werewolves live as nomads, hunting and selling meat and leather goods throughout the world. Their superior tracking skills allow them to live a life of decadence, and few ever leave the luxury and security of their pack. Werewolf camps have a strict hierarchy, celebrate numerous festivals honoring Lug, and are generally hostile to outsiders.

The majority of werewolves live in forest camps where they are able to self-govern and preserve their culture. But werewolves are an accepted part of society. It’s not unusual to see human-passing werewolves living in cities or towns.
