Werewolves[/u]
During the weeks, months of recounting and correspondence, it was learned the werewolves progenitor sought the aid of the spirits to strengthen the bloodline. He was answered by the very spirit which sired the twins and it was this unearthly being which offered a solutions. The spirit taught Caden how to create a potion mixed with the blood of Blaidd Drwg which would transform a mortal into a werewolf.
But he warned that the imbibed liquid would make the drinker deathly ill and if they were not strong enough it would kill them. The twins understood and impressed this upon their family the importance of the mystical concoction. The wolves of Blaidd Drwg are created in two manners. Born or made. Normally the clan does not make a distinction between the two, though prejudices do occur.
Powers[/u]
-Blaid Drwg have the ability to change shape. They have two forms human and a massive wolf, normally about 4-5 times the size of a regular wolf. (they do not have what would be considered war-form like white-wolf)
-When in wolf form they possess all the strength of a wolf, only about ten times enhanced. They are faster, stronger and more hardy then the average wolf. Their senses are that much more potent and of course they keep their human intellegence.
-The werewolf bite does not transform the victim into a werewolf but it is highly septic and very difficult to heal. And only with the advent of modern medicine (and magical healing) has those been bitten been able to survive.
-in human form, a werewolf can draw upon their animal heart, and heightened their own senses. Of course, this isn't always for the best, while visiting the cities or other heavily populated areas, werewolves find the senses sometimes overwhelming.
-Blaidd Drwg may communicate mentally with another one of their clan.
-in both forms, the werewolf has a repore with canines. They don't have any powers to control the beasts but often dogs, wolves and other canines will defer to the werewolf and have an unusually friendly dispostion.
-While werewolves can be shot or other wise wounded with various weapons, they can heal with less attention to the wolf and heal much faster then humans. I.e a werewolf can take a bullet in flank, and while it may take a human many weeks to heal, it would only take a werewolf a few days.
Weakness[/u]
-Werewolves suffer from the same weakness as other creatures, they can be shot and killed and they can get ill. Though their immune system is far more hardier then a humans and only the most serious illnesses can debilitate a werewolf.
-During each new moon a werewolf must take on his wolf form and hunt. The wolf doesn't loose his cognitive ability, though they usually will be grumpy, snappish and other wise mood until after the hunt. But the werewolf doesn't have a choice about this. It's like shitting or eating. If it is ignored, the werewolf will become sick or worse may berserk.
-Silver has been the bane of werewolf and it is no different with Blaidd Drwg. Though they can wear silver but should it pierce their skin, they will become most ill and most likely die. There is very little that can save a werewolf infected with silver.
-Werewolves prove to be highly allergic to mistletoe if ingested or some how introduced to the blood stream can highly debilitating. Most werewolves do not even like having mistletoe around.
-in wolf form, the Blaidd Drwg's communication is limited to body language, barks and howls to all others who are not apart of the family.
