Sylvin Werewolf
Souce:Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting
Lycanthropy is traditionally associated with the moon. Ancerra has five moons, each with its own form of Lycanthropy. In order from the closest to the farthest moon, the moons are: Primor, Sylvin, Scarlan, Garvor, and Diminus.
By traveling through other planes, such as the Everwilds, folk have populated the three habitable moons: Primor, Sylvin, and Diminus.
Primor is primarily a desert, while Sylvin consists mostly
of forests with some surface water and ice caps. Diminus’s surface is entirely frozen, but hot spots bubbling up from the moon’s mantle offer pockets of habitable caves. Scarlan has a sulfurous atmosphere, and Garvor - the largest of the five - has no atmosphere, making both uninhabited.
When a creature suffers from Lycanthropy, its lycanthropic characteristics are influenced by the moon that is linked to that strain. Werewolves linked to Garvor are larger than others, while werewolves linked to Diminus have ice-based powers.
Sylvin Werewolf
Werewolves bound to Sylvin often develop a capability to cast primal magic. This magic is usually intrinsic and is not particularly flashy; along with Garvor werewolves, Sylvin werewolves are the most stereotypical lycanthropes out of the five, and many legends recount an unfortunate adventuring party’s encounters with packs of Sylvin werewolves.
