The world of Eborus is a vast one; a world both like and unlike our own. It's people; however, are not so advanced. Eborus is a world of nature and worship, of kings; queens; rulers; and armies of swords and shields. Wood, stone, worked metals, fire and natural resources make up the technology available to the inhabitants of Eborus. Villages and towns dot the land in between forests and mountains and surging rivers. Every now and then a castle or stronghold might rise and cast the shadow of it's ruler over the region. The humans of Eborus were a simple people; so why was there such a brutal and bloody event known only as 'The Hunt' ? Greed. Power. Fear. All good answers, but wrong answers.
The truth of it all, was because the simple humans of Eborus encountered a not so simple problem. The curse of Lycanthropy. The arrival of 'Werewolves'. At first, no one knew what they were. Most weren't even aware of their existence. They spread quickly, however. One bite could infect a human with the disease; and that disease stayed forever in their family from then on. Passed down to their children, and their children's children; once a family had it they had it forever. At first, the infected had no control over the change; no control over the feral part of themselves. Then, slowly, a few learned control over it; and then they passed on that knowledge to their children and their children taught it to their own. A Council was created to help keep these lessons fresh, to help keep the Werewolf community from being a threat to the humans by teaching them control. Thus, the humans and Werewolves coexisted for a time so long as the humans could trust that their afflicted neighbors and friends, smiths and bakers, hunters and priests; were in control of their disease.
This coexistence didn't last long, however. The greed of some humans was simply too much. When the first tests ever to be performed on the body of a Werewolf were done; it lead to a discovery. A Werewolf's heart contained magical properties, and those properties could be harnessed to varying effects. Hunters began to spring up and try their hand at hunting down and killing these Werewolves to make gold; but none were as successful as the group of hunters who became known as the Silver Hand. They were brutal, bloody, and effective. Once a single Werewolf was captured; the tests performed was all they needed to train their hunters for the specific task of slaying a Werewolf for their heart, and so, covered up by the Silver Hand so that the humans believed the Werelwolves lost control of their change and turned on the humans, 'The Hunt' began.
Werewolves are now 'boogey men' they aren't deemed real and almost none exist. Almost.

We're looking for people who'd like to play half breed werewolves, ones that didn't live with the clan when the hunt began. Our thread would be set 20 years after the massacre. I would love to go in depth with this world, and I'm looking for people who'd like to do that with me. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here or PM me :-)
