Lycanthropy

I didn't want to use actual werewolves originally, but I think they could be an option. They will be the result of a curse, not a race. It'll follow some of the typical werewolf myths--victims of the curse shift under the full moon (Nirya in this case) and turn into a bloodthirsty monster. Anyone bitten by a werewolf (and survives) will fall under the curse. They may have typical werewolf weaknesses to silver and wolf's bane, or something else.
For the history, I think that perhaps an entire village was cursed by a cabal of cursers. The curse spread from there, and for generations exorcists have been trying to break the curse, but it's proven to be very complicated.
So, throw in some ideas or werewolf mythos to work with.
