About this episode
The episode explores the lore of lycanthropes in D&D, including werewolves and their associated deities across various settings.
Werewolves, werebears, wererats, wereravens, and the gods who fight over them. We dig into lycanthropes across the D&D multiverse and the lore is way deeper than you think. We cover Strahd's werewolf pack in Curse of Strahd and the wereraven Keepers of the Feather quietly resisting him. We get into Eberron and the Silver Flame's lycanthropic purge, the shifter genocide that followed, and the Pure Flame zealots still hunting today. We talk about the Forgotten Realms and the eternal war between Selûne and Malar over what lycanthropy was meant to be. Plus we tell you who the most famous werebear in all of D&D is. Sleep with one eye open. patreon.com/RollForLore Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
