1. Organization Name
Red Howler Pack or Red Howler Mercenaries; most often simply referred to as "the Howlers"
2. Objective
Short term: get coin, survive
Long term: lift the curse that has haunted them for generations.
3. Who may join?
They're not currently really open to anyone new coming in, but if you want to play a member of the pack just shoot me a quick PM with your ideas and I'll add 'em to the list!
4. Organization Location
Mostly operate out of the Kilanthro Mountains.
5. History
The Red Howlers were once an average pack of lupine shapeshifters, but several generations ago the patriarch of the Ulfar family brought down a curse on himself and his line.
The details of the curse and why it was cast are a well-guarded secret, and only the highest ranking members of the Howlers are ever privy to the knowledge; what is clear is the result of the curse.
The Ulfar family and all their descendants cannot take the shape of either man or wolf, but are trapped in the anthropomorphic canine form that serves as a sort of in-between state. And as the final kicker, any person in the Ulfar line dies before their thirtieth year, either due to illness, accident, or foul play.
