	Regardless of where the Witchwolves originate from, their first contact with other species, especially humans, was not the greatest first impression. Bremish tradition tells about how the first settlers in the [[Bremeland\|Bremelands]] feared going too deep into Breme out of fear of being hunted by Witchwolves. Eventually, a sort of passive aggressive co-existance was developed, with the general principle that if the humans stayed out of the way of the Witchwolves, the Witchwolves would stay out of the way of the humans. Occasionally Witchwolves were employed by the humans and native Snow Elves to hunt down dangerous monsters.

	Witchwolves share a lot of similarities with [[Shifter\|Shifters]] that are found in [[Isonhound]]. Like Shifters, Witchwolves are predominantly human in form, but they often retain beast-like aspects, such as a tail, claws, fanged teeth, and fur. At will, they can temporarily enhance their beast-like features—both physical traits and abilities. However unlike Shifters, Witchwolves only have wolf-like traits. Witchwolves are predominantly hunters and trackers, trekking across the frozen tundra of Breme and its surrounding islands to hunt down the greatest of prey for the sake of the hunt. They do hunt for survival, but the thrill of combat and taking down a tough opponent is what drives them to do the hunt.

They do hunt for survival, but the thrill of combat and taking down a tough opponent is what drives them to do the hunt.

	This constant challenging of themselves to find and kill the largest monsters on Breme and its surrounding islands like Krystovos have led the Witchwolves to develop a fearsome reputation as great warriors, excelling at combat in the rugged terrain of the arctic. The natives of Breme, from Bremish humans to Bremish Snow Elves give the Witchwolves plenty of distance as such, especially when Witchwolves have a tendency to hunt humans and elves that they deem as prime hunting targets. In general, Witchwolves are feared in Breme, and because of this, Witchwolves are generally lacking in their social skills with the other races of Breme as a whole. That isn't to say that communication does not happen. Tribes of elves and humans sometimes hire Witchwolves to hunt down terrible monsters that are harassing their villages, or to deal with marauders that they cannot deal with by themselves. The prospect of fighting such fearsome opponents is often times enough for a Witchwolf in terms of payment, but food and material to forge better weapons and armor are generally appreciated.

	== History ==		== History ==
	It is easy to assume that Witchwolves and Shifters share a similar background from each other given their similar natures; that Witchwolves are the offspring of humans and lupine beast-folk. Yet, this is not the case. The reason why is because Witchwolves predate humans on Breme. When the first humans arrived on Breme, they encountered Witchwolves, which indicates that Witchwolves are not hybrid offspring but instead natural inhabitants of Breme. Scholars and explorers generally agree that Witchwolves came from the Beastlands, and speculate two possibilities for the origins of Witchwolves in Breme:		It is easy to assume that Witchwolves and Shifters share a similar background from each other given their similar natures; that Witchwolves are the offspring of humans and lupine beast-folk.
