Lore

The king of Slom made a fatal mistake when he tried to force the house of Ambry to bow. Banehallow's family sent six thousand swords to the capital and were wiped out in the Massacre of the Apostates, but the king wanted more than their deaths: he wanted the lord to know betrayal from within. The court magicians turned young Banehallow into a wolf, and his father was chained to the floor, waiting for the boy to tear out his throat. But the wolf's spirit remained the boy's. Instead of killing his father, Banehallow attacked the guards and slaughtered a dozen knights before escaping into the night. His father laughed as the king ran him through, and from that moment the heir to the lost house became the Lycan, a creature of both man and wolf, roaming the world seeking justice for the house that was taken from him.
