Well, if you can prove that they are not stereotypical werewolves in culture then I'll look it over. I will not dismiss anything outright but I want something to go from here.

Werewolves

The werewolves of Liberta are all more or less descended from one man: Bobrick the Foul or Bob for short. Bob was what you'd call, an asshole. In fact, so much of an asshole was Bob that a wizard cursed him. Every month for the three days of the full moon Bob would turn into a horrific creature that would murder and destroy all in it's path (Kinda of a like a period but for men). This wizard was what we call: Fucking Retarded. So every night of the full moon Bob would transform and rampage upon the countryside and such forth. At least that's how the old legend goes. What we know for a fact is this: Werewolves are vicious creatures. Human for a majority of the year and hideous wolf creatures for the rest of it, werewolves are incredibly strong, able to tear down small buildings and rend armor to shreds with their claws. if one is bitten by a werewolf the curse is spread to them. They have the ability to heal all wounds no matter how grievous within days unless the injury is caused by a weapon made of silver. The only way to kill them is by stabbing them in the heart with a weapon made of silver of by beheading them with it. It's because of this that werewolves were once the most feared creatures in the land. Years and years ago the largest raider group that Liberta has ever seen was formed up of werewolves. Over the years hundreds of them had banded together and begun attacking settlements. It usually started off slow, a few caravans would turn up missing, a farm or two would be ransacked and burned and eventually it turned into a full out war against the unfortunate village. On the full moon the wolves would attack en masse and completely destroy the village, slaughtering most and kidnapping a few to increase their ranks. this went on for years until one day a village made a shocking discovery, they could be harmed or even killed by silver. After this discovery the village sent news to the other surviving villages and together, they schemed. After the wolves next attack they tracked the creatures back to their hovel. Then they and their armies attacked with newly forged silver weapons. The werewolves, caught off guard were decimated. Though they fought back viciously they were ultimatly defeated and banished to the deserts. Now they are a broken, inbred, nomadic race never staying in one place for longer than a few days. In their travels their travels through the deserts they have found remnants of an ancient civilization with technology far superior than any currently available in Liberta. If only they could get it to work!

Okay, so it's not as organized as I want it to be but it's all there for the most part. Also, the alien tech thing is just for looks, there will be no laser rifle wielding werewolves. Well, maybe as clubs.

Questions? Critiscism? (be gentle)
Okay, here's my honest opinion.

To start simple, I don't like it. For one, it's much too powerful to be a player character. Silver isn't exactly easy to find, and it's expensive, putting it out of reach for a lot of characters for a while. We've already got a few nomadic races, and why the desert? We've got two desert dwelling races, it doesn't make sense for wolves to be in the desert.

Also, I don't want the alien race. I know the tech doesn't work, but I just flat out don't want that in the story.
