In a world of beasts and dhampirs as allies it became easier for those born of a werewolf and mortal parentage to become accepted by society. Some prefer to remain ellusive creatures of the night while others grab a pint in the middle of town enjoying how it loosens the tensions of their heightened senses.
A limited but powerful shapeshifter. Those who were born mortal and bitten and thus contracted lycanthropy have less control over their transformations than these peoples. Wereborn lived under three moons with transformations from a young age and know every bloodrush, muscle contraction and bone crack needed to shift seamlessly into a were-form regardless of cosmological alignment.
The creature that inspires your blood to bodily change to a werecreature is determined by your parents lineages. For example, you may be a goblin whos transformation resembles a werebear, or a human whos transformation resembles a werecat.
_Other common lycanthropes are werewolves, weretigers, wererats and anything else you can imagine._
