While going through my google docs I found a short I never posted: how and why Mathis became a werewolf.
Mathis Galanox did not join the cult of Vaermina by choice - it's sort of the family faith. But he's chosen to leave. One problem: he swore his soul to Vaermina for all of time, in oaths inked across his very flesh, and now he's fled her flock with secrets in his head not meant to leave. If he wants to survive, and perhaps more importantly, if he wants to secure his eternal afterlife should his former associates find and kill him, he's going to need the favor of a different Prince. He's heard there's a witch out in the Hag Fen who runs with wolves.
