Location: Village of Star's Rest

The village of Star's Rest sets in the middle of the Pathfinder House holdings. Home to a little over three hundred people this small village appears a simple, normal place. But this village is anything but normal. Originally a druid shrine, wood cutters found the grove a lovely place and a nice place to live. They at first feuded with the druids, but the wood cutters eventually said they would protect the grove if they were allowed to cut some trees the druids said they could cut.

For three centuries the bond held until some in the village became greedy. They took more then allowed, enraging the druids. The druids cursed the village stating they would be part of the forest until the souls of the trees were appeased.

Now every member of the village, even those who marry in or are born after this harsh event, are subject to the curse of the werewolf. They seek what they need to do to amend their transgressions, but the druids have yet to release the village. They change shape on nights of the full moon, but also on other holy days of the druids. They discourage visitors at such times because they do not want to be the subject of werewolf hunters. They can not spread their curse, so unlike other werewolves they will not seek to harm other people, they are just cursed with the form.
