Wolfstone

"Vires Noctis" - Strength in the Night"
== Howling coming from the South ==
As the clocktower struck midnight and the Skylights Festival was concluded Joan started walking towards her home. She approached her door, and when she reached for her keys a distant howling could be heard somewhere south of Ziemia. Because Joan was tired she disregarded it as a pack of stray dogs wandering around in the nearby forests. 
When she woke up the next day Joan was greeted by numerous complains and reports of claw marks around the city. One of the enforcers reported that there is now a cave next to Borderstone that was a result of a collapse of an old mineshaft. When the enforcers descended into it, they found out that it wasn't a pack of stray dogs that were responsible for the howling - A group of Lycans was residing in the cave that they turned into their den. The citizens that were living in that region were driven away because of a foul smell and grim feeling coming from the Lycans' Cave. 
Despite several attempts to contain the issue, the enforcers weren't able to evict the troublemakers. Because of the tensions rising between Lycans and Citizens Joan wrote a letter to her Lycan son - Delta- to help out with the issue. Soon Delta found himself infiltrating the community of Lycans and after few attempts he managed to become the Packmaster. With that new position, Delta convinced his fellow Lycans to stay away from Ziemia. in return for their own district - Wolfstone. 
Even though the situation calmed down after the creation of Wolfstone, the citizens of Ziemia. still avoided the new district. The blood-curdling howling that was coming from there scared even the bravest huntsmen...
