Faoladh (Fwee Luh) (Playable Race - Homebrew)
To my brother, @jwslw Thank you for enduring my non-sense. Faoladh, Wardens of Children, Lost Souls and Wounded Soldiers. It is said these Therianthropes are born to human families on the edge of civilization, and they have the ability to take on the shape of wolves, a form they use to watch for harmful Fey and other threats to society. While they rarely swear any formal service, they can often be found in careers that see them caring for the meek, supporting the local guards, or guiding others through harsh terrain, or providing their community with food. Villages that have Faoladh guardians near by often accept the loss of a handful of sheep each month as the price for being so blessed, as the Faoladh are prone to taking to their animal form and helping themselves to such a feast. Faoladh, it is said, are born understanding the language of Worg. Type: Humanoid (Human and Shapechanger Subtypes). Age: Faoladh reach adulthood around 15 years of age, and live roughly One century.
