werewolves

Through many years wolves have been one of the biggest enemies of the free people of Bree, so it seems only natural to start with an investigation of legends involving them.

That this land harboured werewolves is not improbable, as some of that wandering band of elves seemed to think. When one of them insisted that he heard a howling, I seized the opportunity, and taking up my great axe, dove into the first clump of trees through which the road dived, and searched thoroughly. The creature left his stamp all upon the ground on the Hill. He belongs to a bad breed, the most ancient of ancient evil, and might still prowl in the forest by the man-town, so it was there that I ventured next.
