Vulpur Lycan

Vul Lycan, or Vulpur Lycan, is a racial minority of the Vulpur/Vul. Aside from Serronan documentation, Archaeology, and Historical investigation, not much is known. Very few remain today, as with which the majority reside in the Vulperium in Eldham.

Appearance
They resemble their Vul counterparts, with the major exception of having more resemblance of wolves as opposed to a fox.

Origin
Serronan pre-historic findings suggest that the Vulpur Lycan were likely once part of the Vul, and had split off due to the nature of nomadic tribes."' Bone fragments, tools and other types of expressions that allow identify the Vulpur presence in Serrona, however migrations of individual groups took place, which led to the diversification of physical attributes in the various types of Vulpur.' - Liber Vulpur, Nuncio"Bone fragments of one particular group found in Serronan former taiga and snow plains suggest that this group had evolved to share more resemblance with wolves, to adapt and survive the harsh climates.

History
Not much is known on Vulpur Lycan, but historical documents suggest that the group started to mingle with the Vul during the River Kingdoms age of Serrona, potentially inspiring the god Lycandeus of Vulpur Nabu.

After the great Serronan climate crisis, and the resulting collapse of the River Kingdoms, Vulpur Lycan populations plummeted and scattered due to the "Great fire" A forest fire which had burned the majority of the Lycan River kingdom to the ground. Most of who remained had been killed off by persecutors and genocides, because of this, there are very few surviving Vulpur Lycan left. According to Vulperium Records, about a dozen Vulpur Lycan have been documented since modern day Vulperium has been established though that number is now down to four. No other surviving Vulpur Lycan have been reported in Serronan documents, but there are theories that some Vulpur Lycan have survived away from most civilization.

Culture, Demographics, and Religion
The Vulpur Lycan are very similar to the Vuls in this counterpart. Vulpur Nabu attendance records suggest frequent attendance of Vulpur Lycan to festivals, sermons, and ceremonies. Vulpur Lycan value hard work and diligence, and often would be found working in Architecture, Infrastructure, and Mining industries of the River Kingdoms.

The few remaining Vul Lycan reside in the City of Aroforn, capitol of the Vulperium.

A handful of Vulpur Lycan are quite well known within the Vulperium.
