 Werewolf Moon Mystics
All werewolves feel a primal connection to the moon and the
urge to unleash their bestial impulses follows its phases.
Some introspective werewolves study and meditate upon this
connection, plumbing the depths of their primal psyche and
how it intertwines with the moon's phases. This path not only
helps these werewolves to better temper and regulate their
reckless bloodthirst, but allows them to channel lunar power
through their body.
These werewolves come to be known as moon mystics, and
they are known for the serene grace with which they take on
their lupine aspect and are even better known for their ability
to dispatch foes with magical blasts of moonlight. The
restraint moon mystics are capable of allows them to avoid
diving right into the fray and target dangerous foes from a
distance with their lunar bolts and burning moonbeams.
The ascetic nature of these werewolves means they rarely
participate in hunts with others of their kind and often live as
contemplative hermits. However, when moon mystics do join
or interact with werewolf packs, they often serve as spiritual
leaders. Some mystics temper the aggression of their kin, but
others will warp the social dynamic of their pack, giving it a
cult-like dynamic as they lead disturbing rituals designed to
pursue inscrutable goals.
