The first recorded shapeshifters were the defenders of the [[Mystics]]; these powerful warriors drew on the [[seamlore|Seams]] to fuel a transformation into a werebear. Taking note of this, the [[Ankyrean Order]] dispatched spies to steal the secrets of the transformation and eventually succeeded in isolating the ability. Through the use of numerous slaves, the Ankyreans managed to manifest the werewolf form, and then proceeded to use the hardier transformed slaves in their spectacularly lethal [[Elemental Plane|planar exploration studies]].

Escapees from this brutal program fled to the nearby enclave of [[Three Rock]], forming the first Atabahi Rout; they dug their hall in the hills and swore that one day Spinesreach would fall to the rellyw. This would, sadly, not be delivered for centuries, and only when the bones of the last Three Rock lycanthropes found rest in the Den of the new Rout.


When [[Yrtez]] fled the [[Spinesreach|Citadel]] during [[The Second Ankyrean War|the Ankyrean Civil War]], she took with her a corps of devoted [[Syssin]]. During the experimentation that led to the creation of [[vampire|vampirism]], Yrtez manufactured a fanatically loyal pack of hounds devoted to her personal defense; they would later be killed almost entirely during the events immediately prior to the [[Grand Artifice]].
