Lycan Lore & Background Story
Banehallow was a nobleman cursed with lycanthropy after a betrayal within his own court. Rather than fight the beast within, he embraced it. His wolves are extensions of his will, and in wolf form he becomes the ultimate predator — faster, stronger, and utterly relentless. His command over wolves mirrors the primal bond of Beastmaster, who leads wild beasts through dominance — but where Beastmaster rules many species, Lycan serves only the wolf, and the wolf serves only the hunt.
