Wetherand

Many centuries before the Fifth Blight, a tribe of humans dwelt near the Brecilian Forest; when Zathrian's clan passed near to their settlement, his family was captured by a group of humans. They tortured and murdered his son, then raped his daughter and left her for dead in the forest. The Dalish rescued her, but when his daughter found out that she was pregnant, she committed suicide in shame. Mad with grief and hate, and wanting to exact revenge for what the humans did to his family, Zathrian summoned the Spirit of the Forest and bound it to the body of a wolf, creating the monster known as Witherfang. This is what created the curse that infected his people. Wetherand was one of the humans turned into a werewolf by Zathrian's curse. When the Grey Warden had Zathrian lift the curse, Wetherand was one of the unfortunate few who were not present when the curse was broken. Angered by missing out, Wetherand gathered the remaining werewolves and attacked a human settlement close to the Brecilian Forest. Wetherand and the werewolves killed all of the humans living there and moved on hoping to find a clan of elves to kill. Wetherand lead the werewolves to where he thought the elves were, but they actually ended up in Denerim. Wetherand lead the werewolves into the remains of the Alienage and began an attack on the Alienage's Elves. King Alistair sent the Denerim Freedom Fighters, lead by a Dalish Elf named Deygan to eliminate the threat. Deygan lead the DFF into the Alienage and battled the werewolves. Wetherand was slain by Deygan and when the bodies of the werewolves fell, they changed back into their human forms. Deygan had the bodies placed on pyres, knowing the only reason for their actions was because of the curse placed on them by Zathrian. A monument was built in the Brecilian Forest of all humans and elves killed because Zathrian's curse.
