Where do these Wolfen come from? It could give me an idea of which culture to pinpoint on my research.

According to Lonekon...
Back from the old folklore stories from ancient times it was said that the goddess of the moon came down to a tribe of humans to give them blessings of the moon, since wolves were descended from the moon to be believed at the time this inherent the tribe of humans to become one of the moon by accepting the gift of wolves, effectively giving them the name "wolfen"

Though thats just folklore, in truth were just a hybrid of wolves and humans from an ancient common ancestor that split ways

I wouldn't say completely abandon it, but if you're going nowhere with it I'd say try looking at another angle.

It's alright. I think I already figured it out anyway.

But to make sure, could you remind me what is the closest thing to a name that she has been associated with?

"Biblia". And for the record (and to catch anyone else up still confused)...

So, uh, couple things:

First and foremost, yes I did talk to Olivia. And while I was right on the money that the twins died due to Luma, she could not recognize me. As such I'm going with the conclusion that I am not one of them. So sorry Luma for lashing out, and I will continue to search for me.

Secondly, that whole thing about "only wolfens can do the ritual" is false. The only reason it was this way is that it was spoken in the Wolf language. And suprisingly she's been selling manuscripts of the ritual for a good while now. Which meant I had to get a job... as a plush toy (don't judge me)... but I got that text and the others she had. But this does mean that yes, a non-Wolfen can do it (kinda). In fact, all you need is Wolfen blood, someone to channel the power, someone to bring it into the target (alternatively, someone who can do both), the manuscript and you're good.

In fact the whole ritual is a whole lot darker than what Lonekon said. The easiest way to describe it is "rebirth". If the texts are translated correctly, the Moon is claimed to have had a factor in magic like Lonekon said, but it had other uses as well. Like many believe it to have healing properties, if not resurrection, and it's said that wolfen blood is tied to the Moon; and that before the soul goes to whatever they call wolf heaven, it's tied to the body for a few minutes before leaving the body. So, the process goes that you're killed, you have wolf blood intermingled in your heart, some magic happens, and you've begun the process of becoming a wolfen.
And while I'm not sure if that's all true since it is going through numerous language barriers and I've only just read it, but it's something.

Now, I saw kinda because while it's possible, it's also riskier. Since for one you don't have someone with the proper qualities essentially playing with one's life, and two you're playing with someone's life. Even with a trained wolfen you can run into numerous problems: like the body rejecting the blood and falling apart, the person dying because well they were killed, and spontanious combustion.

But that's not the only problem. See, one element of the ritual is the moon goddess (who's name is frequently referenced in the manuscript). Who's name has been kinda lost. In fact the editor's note says that the one used in the text isn't the exact name, but rather what it may be (the closest they got is "Biblia"). It's not an exact source though. There is a way of figuring it out though. Using a book and exclaiming "O' great *insert goddess' name here*! Show me your might!", if the book floats then you have somewhere around the name. If it opens up on its own however then you have the exact name. So good luck with that.

So if anyone is going it, it's got to be someone who at least has some prowess in the occult world. Which Lord knows I ain't. But if anyone else is willing to do the ritual they could talk to Uni. The only piece of info I can offer once the process begins is a lot of sleep, food, and perferably an Advil. Because your body is going to feel like Hell for the next couple days.

Also, ironically enough this ritual was actually used as a form of punishment for Prisoners of War. Which probably explains why the harsh nature it has with it. It doesn't say anything about people wanting to do it by their own admission either.


Tl;dr: Kids are dead, I'm not one of them; Non-wolfens can do the wolf-transformation ritual albeit at an increased risk; I have the manuscript; Lonekon might kill me for all of this.


Though I am sad we didn't go through with it. I had a Scooby Doo joke and everything and it would've been so much fun. A shame really.

Just as I suspected!

Now, my theory's a little far-fetched, but it kinda makes sense in my head.

Anyway, I haven't found anything close to "Biblia" when it comes to mythology, but there's this encyclopedia of Ancient Greek myths and legends called the Bibliotheca.

One of the myths inside it is one of a man being turned into a wolf-like creature by Zeus himself as punishement for killing human beings....or something along the lines of that.

I decided to look deeper into Ancient Greek mythology, thinking that there was no way it was a coincidence, and here's what I found;

Artemis - Goddess of the Moon, often associated with wolves.

BOOM! :smirk:

At this point either way Hell is going to break loose, and Kon is going to kill me, so whichever one is the same.

Though you still need Necromancer... Wolfen blood... Maybe a will...
