Spells Prepared: (CL 1st) 1st—magic fang (CL 1st) Facets of Fear Human beings are fond of taming nature, of leaving their mark on the wilderness in the form of farms cleared from primeval forest or towns and cities erected where once only animals used to live. But for all the trappings of civilization, the night still waits with hungry eyes and wicked claws. Werewolves personify the fear of the beasts that howl in the long, dark winter nights, and prowl hungrily outside doors and windows that are locked and barred against the savage wilderness. From the harsh, frozen north to the gentle climes of the south, wolf attacks on livestock are a widespread fact of life in a fantasy world (though the number of non-rabid wolf attacks on humans is historically negligible). To the simple peasant or herdsman, wolves are a plague upon humanity, killing livestock and (reputedly) lone travelers gluttonously and without remorse. What could be worse, then, than a wolf who can take human shape? In addition, people naturally fear those who are different in some way. An unfortunate person who has trouble controlling his emotions might be suffering from psychological problems, but to an uneducated villager, an easier explanation is that he is possessed—perhaps a wolf in human form. A cold, calculating, but all too human serial killer is hard to imagine, but fear and superstition can easily create a monster that stalks the night. Livestock die and people go missing, and everyone wants a scapegoat to hold responsible. Where a simple animal or human explanation no longer suffices, people turn to the supernatural, and werewolves are there to take the blame.
