Waning Flocktime, CY 612
The Uylak (Pl. Uylaklar) is a demi-demonic creature from the Abyss often found hunting in large warbands in the Plains of the Paynims (or the Asian Steppes in the Earthly Realms), a devotee of the underworld deity Erlik and a descendent of one of Erlik's many sons via human mothers. Uylaklar are mortal enemies of the Yarondlar (steppes centaurs), and will fight and pursue them relentlessly upon contact, using the Yarondlar as burnt offerings to their God. Uylaklar are not lycanthropes, but often interact and cooperate with werewolves and wereboars, immune to the disease themselves. It is said that a high-level cleric may concoct a potion to cure lycanthropy from an Uylak's ichor.
