Message: <blockquote data-quote="Silver Moon" data-source="post: 463077" data-attributes="member: 8530">Origin of the Hengeyokai:Two dozen years later a powerful Druid-Mage named Li-Tak arrived at the Castle to establish it as his new home.  By the time of Li-Tak’s arrival the forests had stated to overtake the landscape.  Nearly a thousand of the peasants still lived in the area, in a constant state of agony, and were barely able to care for themselves.  Li-Tak took pity upon these people, and sought out ways to end their suffering.  He had with him some magical items of his own creation, which could temporarily transform a person into either an animal or a humanoid animal form.  He found that when the peasants used these items their pain and weakness subsided while in the transformed state.   Unfortunately Li-Tak was unable to make this magic permanent, however he discovered that he could alter the Zhentarim’s genetic modifications so that the children of these people would have this transformational magic as a natural ability.   This next generation was even capable of remaining in human form without any ill effects.  This new race became known as the Hengeyokai.  The forests continued to overgrown the farmlands, which this new race adapted as their new home. This new race was not accepted by those outside of the area, which regarded them all as  animals.  Li-Tak protected the area of the twelve villages, buy any Hengeyokai who ventured beyond the region ran the risk of enslavement.   Li-Tak remained the master of the castle for two-centuries, during which two-dozen different animal sub-races of Hengeyokai were developed by him.</blockquote>
