Take an overpowered artifact channeling the power of the "Goddess", have an "unprepared" person taking on an innately powerful bestial aspect, and you get the first worgens.
Just random elves failing to deal with a bunch of canine instincts imprinted by Goldrinn's aspect.
Wasn't a curse until much, much later Arugal's experiments.
That Archmage fucked up far beyond the elves of ole.
He gave the furries to the Alliance as a race!

Just a turn of speech I guess, at our Divination-level and their lack of preparedness-levels, "finding" is just running a few spells in the background, at worst.

Do you use the same trick in your contracts?

@DragonParadox it might be a long shot, but since some pathfinder stuff has been modified to fit before I figured it'd be worth asking. The Construct Channel Brick uses pathfinder's channel energy mechanic, but the fluff for that is channeling positive/negative energy from your god through the device, and turn undead is similarly described.
Would a version that uses turning damage as the amount of healing it can provide for constructs be viable, either as an extra planar purchase or a research project? They have similar uses a day limits, and while they scale at different rate they stay in the same ballpark hp wise.

There are spells made to heal Constructs and repair objects. Anu has even crafted himself a version of a Healing Belt which repair Constructs instead.
Repair Light Damage – Spell – D&D Tools
Complete list of all D&D spells, rulebooks, feats, classes and more!
dnd.arkalseif.info
There are a whole series of them, like the Cure spell line, except they're arcane rather than divine in nature.
There is also Make Whole and Greater Make Whole;
Make Whole – d20PFSRD

And the really great Hammer of Mending;
Hammer of Mending – d20PFSRD

Not to mention the powerful but expensive Memory of Function;
Memory of Function – d20PFSRD

Like I said earlier, I prefer the Channel Energy mechanic to Turn/Rebuking, but that's what we have to work with. I don't really see why we need to introduce a special mechanic just for Constructs when there are already so many options available to repair them. An item which converts a healing spell into one which can affect Constructs would be much more reasonable, IMO, rather than using Turning/Rebuking.

Just noticed, and read the omake, great work @Crake. I loved the 'kill it with fire' line and Ser Gerold playing the straight man. Really he's lucky he only had Denys to deal with and not say Qyburn.
That said I'm not sure I believe Denys about no more wild magic experiments.
Denys originally wanted to set up some kind of force cage, but couldn't justify the cost. So instead he ordered a couple of siphons from the Tinker Fey workshop and created the world's first containment procedures. They're... a work in progress. (Yes, the Valyrians likely had their own "containment procedures", but who would credit the fiend binders with common sense?
)As to Ser Gerold playing the straight man, that's circumstance forcing his hand. You can't rely on someone who spends a great amount of time inhaling fumes to be thinking straight, can you?
Finally, Denys does not tell lies. That would not be knightly of him. While he won't experiment with dangerous surges of non-localized wild magic anymore, he is still curious about mixing unusual templates...

Part MMMCDXXVI: Trials of Beasts and Men
Trials of Beasts and Men
Twenty-Sixth Day of the Twelfth Month 293 AC
Finding a boar in a forest, even one that is also a man, is no easy feat ordinarily, but with the ruin of Old Jon's life all around you divination foci are easy to come by. You settle upon an old skinning knife, its haft of dear bone tied with sinew likely from the same beast, its iron blade dulled and cracked. Your image ripples in the scrying glass and then you have your answer. You see not one silver-hided boar but two, tusks locked while grunting with rage and pain. Old Jon had found his former lord.
It is clear that no matter the form a man's reason, even driven by rage and vengeance, will win out over blind savagery. Part of you wants to let the tragedy before you play out to its last act, a fitting fate for a man who thought nothing of putting his own subjects to the sword for a hunting trophy, but you might yet have use for the former lord of Grassfield Keep.
In a moment all three of you are carried to the clearing the mirror shows and before either of the two combatants can even notice your presence Lya casts slumber upon them both.
"Well isn't this a proper pile of shit," Ser Richard says in disgust looking over the two now slumbering foes. "Old Luthor's going to want the poacher's head now more than ever if we send him back to be lord of the land. Not sure he has any business ruling in a pigsty let alone a keep. Tried to go hunting a silver boar with iron blades and no magic just to say he did it..."
"There's the fact that he's a heartless son of a bitch too," Lya points out dryly.
"If that barred men from from lordship we'd have to topple half the rulers of the realm," the knight shrugs with a faint click of steel on steel.
"Be that as it may, I for one don't trust someone who is both a fool and undutiful to understand why he should strive to be better at his appointed task. From the sounds of it his son merely distrusts magic. We've dealt with such before and likely will again."
"There's the trouble of his mother too," you muse, not yet inclined one way or the other. "She was ruthless enough to condemn her husband to death over the curse. Either she was always planning to rule through her son or she despises all thought of sorcery that much. Neither bodes well for the rule of these lands. Without revealing her part in the plot removing her from the young lord's counsel would be more difficult." You could assassinate her of course, but you do not wish to kill the kin of a lord whose pledge you wish to keep.
"So bring back his corpse, the real one this time," Lya replies, still looking coldly down at the slumbering Lord Luthor. "It should revert to human form in death."
"And accuse Lord Elwood's mother on the basis of that alone?" you ask dubiously. "She would cry witchcraft and trickery in thrice. I might be able to persuade him otherwise, but only if he's of a mind to listen."
What do you do next?
[] Awaken Lord Luthor and clear his mind, offering to restore his lordship and explaining what had happened in his absence
[] Finish what Old Jon started and present the old lord's body to Lord Elwood as proof of the intrigues swirling around him
[] Write in
OOC: I keep getting really short updates today for some reason. I might end up doing four, like in the old days, depending on how long the third one ends up being.

Valyrian Containment Protocol probably just dumped everything in question into a randomized portal. So long as it didn't end up in their own backyard, why bother with anything more thorough, right?Denys originally wanted to set up some kind of force cage, but couldn't justify the cost.
