Faoladh –

An Irish werewolf, the Faoladh is different from other European werewolves as it is not a monster at all. Unlike other werewolves it is a shapeshifter who can turn into a wolf at will. It is believed that they were pagans who were cursed by St Patrick for refusing to convert to Christianity. A Faoladh looks like a normal wolf. If they are attacked in their wolf form they will still have the tell tale injuries on their human body. If they kill a sheep or cow the blood will still remain on their faces when they turn back into a human. 

Unlike other werewolves, the Faoladh is a good werewolf. It has been known to protect children, wounded men and lost people. They usually live in pairs. They sometimes live as wolves for seven year periods. They can also heal the sick and wounded, and have been known to guide lost strangers to safety.  According to ancient sources, Irish werewolves were even recruited by kings during times of war. Faoladh have the same predatory nature as normal wolves. They will eat farm animals and prey on herds of cattle and sheep for food. 

Faoladh refuse to attack humans. If attacked or surprised while in their wolf form they will simply run away because being injured can cause them to shift back into their more vulnerable human form.

not to get mad nerdy but I just discovered tabletopaudio.com and I’m fuckin losing it

this person (people?) goes about making 10 minute long loopable ambient noise tracks for every imaginable setting (docks, taverns, forests, airships, spaceships, office buildings, sewers, EVERYTHING) and has over a hundred tracks to offer, and on top of that if none of them suit you there’s a huge feature called soundpad where you can mix and match from their set of hundreds of individual sound effects and music clips to make your own ambient background track

holy shit dudes

I did a little further reading on his about and the guy running this is just a dad with two kids who like playing tabletops with him and he had the composition and musical training to start making soundtracks for his games then decided to spread that to the world for absolutely free, he even welcomes you to use his tracks in your works (podcasts, videos etc) and is open to being hired for custom tracks

I love him

Samoseli Pirveli (meaning “first garment”) is a shop that specializes in traditional Georgian clothes, which differ according to the “strata and regions of Georgia” (source). One style of garment is called a “chokha” and another, “kalakuri kaba” (meaning “city dress”). Each image has a line of English categorizing the clothing style.
