In a time where mortals were ruled by one, they were changed. People, everyday individuals were granted or cursed, with the ability to take form of the Lupus. As such, their bodies twisted, changed, and grew in height, as well as fur. Some were capable of traveling upon two legs while others roamed about on all fours. A man was responsible for this blessing as well as this catastrophe. This man was a mage whom was forced to create a sword which was to combat the Living Sword. As his magic failed him, he released his plague upon the people whom lived about the land. Some adapted while most died. He too had suffered from his own ailment and he, himself died a slow and agonizing death. Similar to leprosy it was.
