Well in all honestly, while the question pertains to a quest, It would be better in the long run to have something concrete, eventually. Having things vague caauses problems.

IE: jrizz's quest gets finished and it explains the origin one way. Well if JOEBOBDM two months later decides to have a quest about them and Jrizz is MIA.... What happens if I go on the quest? I have this one view of lycanthropy and this guy might have it all centered around something completely different.

So... Maybe After the quest, Jrizz... Maybe we can co-work on a narrative write up for a were-beast origin thingy...? Whatcha say?

Now that is a stellar idea

and I will take you up on it.

I'm sure several of us have been on quests which werewolf origins were mentioned, and they were probably all different stories, which seems to happen often. hehe.

Lycanthropy is a disease.

However, you can also curse somebody to transform into a wolf (or whatever) of course. If you're good enough, you can also make it triggered by something so that they only transform under certain circumstances.

It's not a race like elves, humans or dwarves are a race.

That's why every GM needs to do a quest writeup once the quest is done and post it in the GM forums under the month the quest was run in.
So JOEBOBDM should do a forum search or just ask in the GM forums what there is available on lycanthropy in order to remain consistent.

And as a side note, I do know where lycanthropy comes from, but there weren't any people present when it happened, let's just say a certain deity that's linked to wolves is very likely to have been involved. But what he did, or did not do, is only known to him

Many a story/rumor/myth has been written since the first cases of lycanthropy appeared, but none have been confirmed

And BTW, both Milty and Jrizz are, at the same Time, doing quests based on Were-beasts.

Dang you Ed! =oP But, yeah...

If me and Jrizz, or someone, wanted to write up something for the Handbook, could we?

If EdTheKet already said he knows where Lycanthropy comes from in a lore sense of the word, what would be served by writing something else up? If it's just legend/opinion/hearsay/myth, then it can exist without going into the handbook right? I mean, nothing is stopping your character from passing along that information IC, right?

jrizz · « **Reply #35 on:** October 10, 2007, 07:53:28 pm »

I spoke with Ed he has this all down it is just not really known by anyone. So just go on and tell what ever stories you want IG.

ShiffDrgnhrt · « **Reply #36 on:** October 10, 2007, 09:21:43 pm »

Well I was just offering. I mean in the handbook is a Myth/Legend about Corath raising someones wife from the dead right? Thought maybe something for Lycanthropy might be cool, too.

Correct, there's a section with legends and stuff and it could go in there.
However, all rewrites are completed, and it's being edited and in layout now, so I am not adding any additional text.

Of course the offer is appreciated, and you can still write it, but it won't be in this edition, and I will only allow it into official lore if you complete and sign the agreement that's posted in the guilds/organization thread.

Also, it'd need to be well written of course

"Zee Verevolfs come from zee outside places..." <.<;

=oP

EDIT: Alright, If I ever get it "down on paper" I'll send over a copy. And you said there's a thingy I need to "sign" *coughs "forge" coughs*?

*goes looking for the thing he has to... write on*

now just try explaining why werewolves are a bane of nature and werebears are a druid's best friend.

Especially since few things in nature are Lawful Good!

What about Wereboars?
