Clan of Brethren
The rustle of fur in the shadows, sings to an ancient gift. Blood whispers of curses that
come with the gift and secrets forgotten in the dance of firelight. They are Clan, those
who can slip the flesh and run with their Brethren, the wolves. Long gone are the days
when the gift was freely shared with the normal humans and the ancient ones are
growing strange as the gift shapes them away from the humans they once were. There
are only a few taboos among the Clans; do not hunt a human, do not share the gift with
the unwilling and mate only within the Clans. The price of defiance is death. It is the
curse of the Gifted that their hearts are still too human to care...
