Werewolf Breakfast: Vollmond Morgenessen

Background: The Vollmond Morgenessen or “Fullmoon Breakfast” was created by the Werewolf Tribes of Southern Teutonia. Historically Werewolves would transform whenever they wished and lived off the land, hunting on men and beast alike. However, this led to conflict with the Holy Order of St. Jaeger’s during the Great Tierkriege where thousands of humans and werewolves alike were slaughtered. This in turn led to the signing of the Wolfspakt where the humans and werewolves agreed to peace as long as the werewolves eliminated those of their kin who could not control their shifting. 

However, even the eldest of the werewolves could not control themselves under the light of the full moon. During this time each month, werewolves would uncontrollably transform into their most bestial states and lose all semblance of sanity necessitating being locked up for the night. This process is extremely exhausting leaving the werewolves sickened for days afterwards with Vollmondkrankheit or “Full Moon Sickness”. The Vollmond Morgenessen was created to combat this sickness by replacing all of the nutrients lost during the Full Moon and stopping the nausea, lethargy, and migraines.
