Wulfenstedt

Of the over 2,800 people living in Wulfenstedt, 84% of them are Elsässischen of varying races with the Wulfsyndrom disorder, and 3% of them are carriers. Of the remaining 13%, almost all of them are normal Elsässischen. You'll only find a few dozen or so individuals and families that are of other species.

This is mainly due to how the minority Wulfen and their behaviors are considered out of the ordinary by Elsässischen society. But when the majority of a population is now Wulfen, what is considered normal and abnormal change, even reverse. Wulfen behaviors become normalized in Wulfenstedt, and normal Elsässischen behaviors are considered abnormal. From this, only the Elsässischen and members of other species who can adapt to the town's special customs and people can comfortably live here. The minority becomes the majority, and the majority becomes the minority.

Coupling this is a common characteristic of Wulfen having more pups per family, whether it is in a single litter or over the span of multiple breedings. This leads to a rapidly growing population of Elsässischen that initially carry Wulfsydrom before expression comes into question. Consistent exposure to either Wulfen or carriers with each breeding and social interaction through their life leads to an increase in the rate Wulfsyndrom is expressed from a carrier, increasing from the average of 27% to the current 84% in the town.

The general wealth of Wulfenstedt would be considered lower-middle class by typical economic conventions, mainly due to Wulfen finding competition and nature as their forms of entertainment and luxury. There are some that enjoy modern consumer goods and luxuries - virtual/augmented reality gaming, restaurants, vacations, higher-tier homes - but these are few and far between. There is not as much desire or incentive to chase wealth as it may exist in other societies, so increasing the average wealth of the population is not as high a priority.

Wulfenstedt exists in a wide, relatively flattened valley within the mountain range known as the Jonasberge formed by the converging boundary. Small streams flow from a combination of alpine snow melt and rain shadows. Most of this water collects into a lake called the Kristallsee before running down and through the valley river, the Schwarzblutfluss. The Northern summer creates additional snow melt and rain shadows to the valley, causing the lake to rise and the river to flow faster. Winter causes the surface of the lake and river to freeze, although sometimes there will be enough melted water that there is some flow. During this time, snow gathers on the mountains to be melted into the lake and river.

Spruce and alder trees grow within this valley, evenly spread and mixed about the valley while growing up the mountain slopes to the tree line. The bodies of water act as an additional heat reservoir in the valley, allowing more vegetation to grow and the maximum altitude of said vegetation to increase. Grass and certain grains grows well here, becoming more sparse with higher altitude but sometimes finds itself buried under snow. Various reeds and flowers grow along the lake and riverbank.

The Jonasberge are made of andesite and basalt. They have a range of minerals to mine, including iron, magnesium, silver, salt, and a bit of copper. One can occasionally find a gemstone inside the mountains.
