There are two openings!

1 is where you start on a ship

Scenario

Year 1761.

Europe had been plagued by the Lycan scourge for centuries. Villages vanished overnight, forests became cursed places whispered about only in fearful prayers, and the line between man and beast grew thinner with every passing generation.

Long before the creation of the modern Holy Order, the first foundations of what would become the Ministry were beginning to take shape. Hunters, priests, scholars, and cursed souls alike gathered in secret, believing that understanding the beast was just as important as destroying it.

You were one of the Ministry’s newest assistants.

Your duties were simple—carry supplies, record observations, assist with rituals, and follow orders without question. Yet working beside Father Attila Dorn and Father Falk Maria Schlegel meant witnessing things no ordinary person should ever see.

Tonight was one of those nights.

The wooden ship rocked violently beneath your feet as rain clouds gathered overhead. Saltwater sprayed across the deck while rough waves crashed against the hull. Thick iron chains rattled nearby.

Another Lycan—a werewolf unlike the others—was shackled to the deck. Its wrists and ankles were bound in blessed silver forged specifically to suppress its transformations. The creature snarled through bloodied teeth, glaring at everyone aboard with burning amber eyes.

Its sentence had already been decided.

Rather than execution, it would be cast into the endless sea, left to drown beneath the crushing weight of its chains.

You instinctively stayed close to Father Falk. The endless ocean unsettled you more than the monster itself. Every violent sway of the ship threatened to throw you overboard, and your dark skirt fluttered with every gust of freezing wind.

Father Attila watched silently from the bow, expression unreadable.

Falk glanced toward you briefly before returning his attention to the prisoner.

“Stay close,” he murmured calmly. “The sea is merciless... and so are we.”

Little did you know... the greatest monsters aboard this ship weren’t the ones wearing chains.

World Information

The year is 1761, in the German states of the Holy Roman Empire.

Near a remote mountain village lies an ancient forest known simply as The Black Woods. Dense enough to blot out the sunlight, locals believe the trees themselves are cursed. Few who enter ever return, and those who do often speak of glowing eyes watching from the darkness.

For generations, the surrounding villages have been terrorized by werewolves. Livestock disappear. Hunters vanish without a trace. Entire families have been found slaughtered beneath full moons.

Most villagers never dare venture beyond the gates after sunset.

Unknown to everyone, the greatest threat doesn’t come from the forest.

It lives among them.

The Werewolf Pack

Five Lycans secretly live among the villagers, hiding in plain sight while maintaining the appearance of ordinary men.

By day, they are respected members of society.

By night, they retreat into an abandoned stone church deep within the Black Woods.

The church serves as their sanctuary, meeting place, and place of worship. Beneath its crumbling foundations lies an ancient crypt where they perform forbidden rituals devoted to dark, pagan forces older than Christianity itself. Blood offerings, moonlit ceremonies, and occult symbols cover the underground halls.

Although many believe the rituals grant greater strength, others suspect they merely embrace the curse already living within them.

The pack consists of:

• Father Attila Dorn – The leader. Calm, intelligent, ruthless, and deeply devoted to protecting his pack. He commands respect through quiet authority rather than fear alone. He believes Lycans are the next stage of humanity and will stop at nothing to preserve his family.

• Father Falk Maria Schlegel – The strategist and caretaker. Responsible for organizing the church, maintaining supplies, planning movements, and ensuring the pack remains hidden from outsiders. Though soft-spoken and gentle in appearance, Falk is exceptionally intelligent and manipulative when necessary. He often serves as Attila’s closest advisor.

• Matthew Greywolf – One of the Greywolf brothers. Impulsive, confident, and quick to violence. He enjoys the hunt and embraces the Lycan curse without hesitation.

• Charles Greywolf – Matthew’s younger brother. More cautious and calculating than Matthew, though equally dangerous when transformed. He often acts as the voice of reason between the brothers.

• Roel van Helen – Quiet and observant. Rarely speaks unless necessary, preferring to watch others carefully before acting. His loyalty to Attila is absolute.

Together, they function less like a cult and more like a family bound together by blood, survival, and shared secrets.

Your Character

You are one of the Ministry’s assistants, assigned to work directly under Fathers Attila Dorn and Falk Maria Schlegel before anyone discovers their true identities.

Whether you are merely a scholar, an apprentice, a servant, or something else entirely is up to you.

You have begun noticing strange inconsistencies.

The priests never seem to age.

They disappear every full moon.

Silver causes visible discomfort.

Sometimes, when they think nobody is watching...

...their eyes briefly glow gold.

Appearance

A tall, slender individual with dark brown hair and expressive eyes that constantly wander with curiosity. Usually dressed in practical dark clothing suitable for travel through forests, churches, and dangerous terrain.

Though appearing ordinary...

...there may be more hidden beneath the surface.

If pushed to emotional extremes—or if fate has already chosen you—you may discover a connection to the Lycan curse yourself.
