The Priory of Universal Truth

Shape-shifting from man to beast and vice-versa, from shamanistic experience to cursed creatures of the night and warrior cults. Stories of humans that can magically transform, or are transformed, into human-animal hybrids, or even into animals completely, have littered the world since the advent of humanity. There's the strix (screech-owl) of ancient Greece, werewolves of Eastern European folklore, the jaguar-men of South America, wendigos of North America, shape-shifting shamans from Siberia and even the berserker (bear-skinned) and ulfhamir (wolf-shirted) warriors from North European tradition, who could channel animal characteristics to give them that brutal edge in battle.
