The Fera Mysterium is the knowledge of the wild that exists deep in the Wilderness of Plenilune. Only the most dedicated of acolytes may find that place, for it lies beyond even the occult dimensions of the Worlds. Seekers who achieve the Wilderness find a shadowy land of hill, forest and plain, its sky a constant indigo lit by a full moon.
Upon arriving in the Wilderness of Plenilune, the seeker of mysteries will encounter a great wolf pack led by a dire wolf with grey and bronze wings. They will be tested in strength, wisdom, and cunning, to be proved worthy of progress to the deepest mysteries. The final test is to speak the dire wolf’s true name. Those many who fail the tests will be torn apart. To those few who succeed the dire wolf will reveal his other form: a golden-skinned man with iron grey hair and beard, the musket Fang cradled in his hands. He will of course retain the wings. For this is the answer to his final question: he is the Archangel Raziel, keeper of mysteries.
The initiate of the Fera Mysterium will learn the ways of skin-changing, night-seeing, and mind-speaking and will run with the wolf pack until their final charge against the Dark.
