Homebrew:Curseborn

(OOC: This is an implementation of the curseborn race from The Crooked Moon)

Curseborn are a werewolf-like species native to Edwardia, often emerging from the dense, cursed fog that rolls across the province. Sharing a strong connection to a malediction called the Grey, which demands balance at the threat of certain doom, they have managed to build a civilization of advancement and progress, countered by rampant strife, pollution, and hunger.

Covered head to toe with thick fur and bearing sharp teeth and claws, this lupine species evokes the hallmarks and appearance of wolves but with clearly humanoid physiology. If not brought to an early grave by the Grey, they typically live for up to 100 years, although technological advancement has led to certain individuals approaching 200 years old.
