I had proof even, before e10 was released! I canât tell you how validated I was by the latest tier, because it brought to light the werewolf thing, which very few people talked about (and I got more than a few weird looks by insisting it was a real thing).Â
The most obvious is the âA Beast Among Menâ fate, with the boss Lugarhoo, a canid looking boss:Â
Once upon a time, Lugarhoo traded obedience to the Shadowkeeper for the power to rend his foes with tooth and claw. Now freed from that pact, it may appear that little remains of the elf he once was-but, in truth, the thirst for violence was always at the heart of him.
The fate âCry Not Wolfâ spawns warg enemies:
Though the wargs born to serve the Shadowkeeperâs fell purpose have long since cast off the chains of that fate, they resent what remains of mankind quite as much as did their erstwhile master, and are eyeing Radiscaâs Round as a venue to vent their ire.
The fate âDeadly Nightshadeâ, the ultimate end to the fate chain, says this, and has wargs as one of your enemies:Â
In its newfound duress, Nightshade has turned to forbidden magicks to impress wargs into its service. The renegadesâ goal, however, remains as it always has been-to sow blood and chaos.
In Il Mheg, you can find a quest named âA Tale of a Tailâ from Kenn Beq, an amaro in Wolekdorf (emphasis mine):Â
Kenn Beq: Before I came to be here, I was in Lakeland.
Kenn Beq: There I lived amidst men for many years.In the time before the Flood, a great battle was joined at the Source. With my master upon my back, I charged into the fray against the forces of the Shadowkeeper.
Kenn Beq: Countless many fell that day. Though I was fortunate to escape with my life, I did not escape wholly unscathed, taking grievous wounds at the hands of enemy soldiers who had assumed wolf-like forms.
Kenn Beq: Such were my injuries, it was believed I would never walk again, never mind fly. Yet my master never forsook me. He nursed me back to health, feeding me a nutritious diet of green glider tails, and I eventually made a full recovery.
Kenn Beq: Seeing the tail now, I cannot help but be reminded of those golden days. The days I spent with the elvenfolk. Thank you, young one, for giving me the chance to relive them.
Most evidence points to the wolf-like forms being the wargs (a bipedal, anthromorphic wolf) instead of being full on wolves. Lugarhoo seems to be the only one that transformed into a full canid, which is likely due to how much magic was pumped into him.Â
Thereâs also the circumstantial evidence of the Warg Sets of gear dropping from the Grand Cosmos, the old home of the former Elven Kings. It seems an odd choice of style and gear to drop from there, given how it doesnât match any of the ghosts or NPCs styles. But with light of how much canon evidence weâre given of the Shadowkeeper transforming people into wolves, having it drop from the place that was once an Elven home makes sense.Â
There might even be more evidence tbh, this is hardly exhaustive!Â
