paperbutterfliesooc: Dated to after the visit to Ke-Waiar. I took forever...
[ Sizui's expression is thoughtful and concerned, though not too far from serenity. He was worried about Wei Wuxian but also a lot of other people, after all. ]
This is Lan Sizhui, and I would share some recently acquired knowledge from a nearby village.
For those who did not go to Ke-Waiar in the recent attempt to bring different water from there, we encountered a strange ailment plaguing a number of the villagers - while normal and polite people during the day, by evening they would become angry and short-tempered, and at night they would turn into creatures that are part wolf, aggressive and dangerous. Lycanthropy, it seems to be called, and the residents of Ke-Waiar have built structures in the trees in the woods nearby to make sure anyone not suffering from it but caught outside the village has shelter from their neighbors.
The condition does not appear to be contagious, but some youths may become affected after they turn sixteen summers or so - though such youths are not necessarily the children of affected adults.
After inquiring more, I was told that the condition started about a year after the previous eruption of Ke-Sanwon... and that the last people to leave the village before that in the year before the curse started were two people who came separately - a gently mannered wanderer, and months later, the Beasmaster, who had already become as he is as part of the Brotherhood.
This information might not affect us directly, or it might. Or it might be a part of a larger story, and knowing it will make a difference to us eventually.
I thought it better to share what I have learned, rather then invite trouble by not asking at Ke-Waiar, or by keeping silent.
