Around 800 YK (~200 years before the setting start), Lycanthropy switches to <s>3.0 rules where</s> afflicted lycanthropes can spread the curse.2. Situation gets much worse over 30 years, "28 days later" style where there's all sorts of lycanthropes threatening to spread out of the Towering Wood and take over all of Western Khorvaire. Keith likes to call out Wererats as an especially big problem here, as they work together to undermine cities and are generally much more intelligent threats.3. CotSF (Church of the Silver Flame) says it's not worth trying to save the bitten, launches full crusade (... Not totally wrong when most templars aren't of high enough level to cast Remove Curse). Shifters get caught in crossfire by people who don't know the difference/accuse the shifters (...correctly) that shifter communities are harboring lycanthropes.4. Lengthy war (50 years) of indeterminate details. At some point t<s>he setting updates to 3.5 and</s> afflicted can no longer spread the curse.5. Zealous people, looking for revenge, slaughter as many lycanthropes (and shifters) as they can.6. Twelve years after the purge officially ends, the Last War starts.</blockquote>
