The Weren are a prehuman race with characteristics and capabilities beyond those of their human successors. They feature in Paul Kearney’s Sea Beggars series.
Myth claims that the one original God of the Earth created both humanity and the Weren. The Weren were first, but coexisted with Man for a period of time. However, their numbers started to dwindle whilst Man’s multiplied. In order to survive, the Weren bred with humans, but in many cases this failed, producing deformed and monstrous offspring known as the Fallen or Half-Trolls. However some children were normal-looking and so the Weren blood continues in some human blood-lines, such as the Cortishane line.
The Fallen, of whom our only direct point of observation is Gallico, are assumed to be much taller than humans, with glowing eyes, bestial faces and vast strength. They were meant to be destroyed, but were not due to the love of their Weren parents. This refusal to kill his young led Cambrius Orr to sail away and become the Mage-King. In modern times, Half-Trolls are still sometimes born, when the build up of Weren blood becomes great, although not in all cases. Michael Psellos has Fallen characteristics and much Weren blood, but appears as a human with an inhuman tongue and powers.
