Isle of Balduran South

Lycanthrope Island South is the southern half of Lycanthrope Island, a small island somewhere in the Trackless Sea. It is here that the original crew of Balduran's ship, the Wandering Eye, establish their village.

Balduran had sailed to the New World city of Anchorome with a crew of two hundred. They were granted permission to adventure through the lands by the Cursed Lord of Anchorome and they gathered a great store of wealth.

"...but 'his grace' has deemed me worthy to proceed through his lands. I am quite sure the two hundred-strong complement of the Wandering Eye aided in the decision."

Upon returning to the city, they were attacked, presumably by the Cursed Lord, and one hundred and fifty men were killed. Balduran conscripted locals to fill his depleted ranks for the voyage home. There were incidents while at sea, the mood of the crew was getting worse, and the ship began to run low on supplies. Having discovered the island by accident, the crew anchored off the northern half of the island to replenish their supplies.

A curse of Lycanthropy, inflicted upon the original crew by the Cursed Lord, struck not long after the crew landed on the island. Fighting broke out between the werewolf-infested original crew and the wolfwere-infested hired crew. During the battle the ship was beached and wrecked, leaving the two strains of lycanthropes to fight amongst themselves for survival. When the fighting reached a standstill, the chaotic wolfweres took residence in the ruins of the ship while the werewolf clan withdrew to the southern end of the island and established their village.

"The combatants fought to a standstill. The crew built this village and the wolf beasts took over the ship. Betwixt skirmishes life went on. The female crewmembers took husbands and started families. Things remain pretty much the same today."

During the fighting, Balduran disappeared and no one knows what became of him (and there is no specific mention that Balduran himself was infected with the curse). Buldurans guide, Dradeel, led the landing party when the curse hit and, following the fighting, he took refuge in an abandoned hut not far from the Wandering Eye. Without his spellbook, which was still on board the ship, Dradeel is unable to venture far from his abode and it appears he never new about the establishment of werewolf clan's village.

Recently Taloun, another victim of a ship disaster only this one inflicted by a kraken, washed up on the southern shores of the island and was accepted into the clan. Under his tutelage, he helps the fisherman build a small boat so Selaad Gan, the chieftain of the clan, can attempt to sail for the mainland. The villagers never hear from Seladd again and have assumed that he is dead.

"I gained membership to the clan by showing the villagers new techniques for farming and fishing. The clan has been here since Balduran's time ye understand. They be sorely in need of the little bit of modern technology that I be having."
