The Lycan Codex

The Lycan Codex is an ancient and forbidden record chronicling the true origins of lycanthropy-the condition that binds human and wolf into a single, cursed existence. Said to predate written history, the Codex gathers fragmented accounts from early civilizations, detailing how the first werewolves were not born, but created-through divine punishment, blood rituals, or forces tied to the moon itself.
Within its brittle, ink-stained pages are detailed observations of transformation: the physical agony of the shift, the psychological fracture between man and beast, and the irreversible pull of the full moon. The Codex classifies werewolves into distinct lineages-those born of blood, those turned by bite, and those bound by curse-each carrying different levels of control, power, and instability.
It speaks of Alphas, the first and strongest of their kind, whose authority over packs is absolute... and whose fall can plunge entire bloodlines into chaos. It warns of the hunger, a primal force that erodes humanity over time, turning even the strongest minds into predators driven by instinct.
Scattered between its records are chilling accounts of disappearances, massacres, and entire villages wiped out-evidence that lycanthropy is not myth, but a recurring shadow throughout human history. Some entries suggest the curse can be resisted... most insist it cannot.
The final pages are incomplete-torn, burned, or deliberately removed-hinting at something worse than transformation itself:
a truth about the origin of the curse that was never meant to be known.
