110 after Forest Blessing 113 after Grooming 100 after Both Upgrades Water Cost: 167 130 after Forest Blessing 154 after Grooming 147 after Both Upgrades Training: A Berserker transformed by Lycanthropy becomes
a Werewolf. About: The Werewolf is no longer human. Clad only in fur, rarely speaking the tongues of men, he lives apart from the rest of the Clan. Even veteran Pack Masters keep their distance from him. The reason is simple: a Werewolf does not embody the loyal, dependable spirit of the pack member, but rather the ravenous essence of the alpha wolf. Wolves who meet him in the wild recognize this terrible authority and instantly submit to his rule., Both innocent and guilty must beware the whims of this stalker; it is in his nature to kill the weak, and most mortals seem tempting and delicious pray indeed. Though vicious, these ex-Beserkers remember their human pasts,
and rarely harm those of their own Clan. However, they hate
outsiders with feral intensity, and recognize no difference
between war and peacetime except that the former brings more
prey to their hunting grounds. No Werewolf has ever given
quarter or recognized and enemy's surrender. They fight only
to kill, and will not be denied their victory feasts.

Training: Keep About: We do not know much about Gaihla. She dwells in the deepest, oldest woodlands, and according to the tales she is a solitary druidess or forest goddess, or something in-between. Hundreds of years old, she has been known to disappear for decades and live out the time as a giant oak tree. All forests and growing things are under her protection. Despite her allegiance to life, she can be a vicious fighter,
wielding a wreath of thorns against those who would threaten
the forests. Her relationship with plant life is mysterious
- she moves unimpeded through the densest undergrowth, and
any crops thrive in her very presence.

Training: Keep About: Grayback emerged as the new chief in the time of the Wolf Clan's enslavement, when the old line of chieftains was dead, and the clan's very existence was threatened. The force of mind that allowed them to break their bonds was Grayback's - the covert training, the cunningly orchestrated uprising, and the carefully timed messages to the Serpent. A menial slave, son of primitive hunters, he is clearly more than a match for the proudest Serpent Lord, or for Lord Zymeth himself. The wolves themselves know Grayback's authority, sensing
in his smell and body language the undisputed leader of the
pack. In battle Grayback wields an enormous pickaxe, a tool
that strikes with crushing force while reminding all who see
it of the reason why Grayback fights on.

Training: Keep About: Even as a slave-child, Longtooth was famous for his athleticism - leaping between rocks and swimming through the treacherous underground waterways, he astonished his masters. Meanwhile he was winning a secret fame as a boxer and wrestler in the underground fighting pits and quarries. When the uprising came, those abilities were matched by a terrifying hatred and impressive generalship. His deeds of that night have placed him next in line for clan leadership. In battle Longtooth carries a unique weapon, a heavy bladed
boomerang he has learned to hurl with astonishing accuracy.
Uneven battlegrounds give him a special advantage, as his
athletic ability grants him a mobility others lack.

Training: Keep About: The Shale Lord is a symbol of the Wolf Clan's enslavement, a failed magical experiment, a lonely outcast, a military asset. No one knows his real name, but he was once a Wolf Clan slave, chosen by Lord Soban as an experimental subject in his attempts to breed a better slave worker. He escaped captivity and roamed the wilderness for years - a strange stone man, faceless, voiceless, alone. When the Wolf rebelled he returned to fight at their sides, and became a hero. In battle there is no more terrifying opponent. Naturally
armored and hugely strong, he fights with his macelike fists.
No one hates the Lotus Clan more, and his rage seems to increase
his strength even has he battles.
