Weakness: Vulnerability (Holly)
Vis: 1 pawn of Animal in each of four large canine teeth, all Infernally tainted.
Appearance: An extremely large, jet black wolf, with red eyes.
Polandrus targets livestock farmers. He dominates a few wolves, and then kills some livestock, making sure that someone sees the wolves do it. A little later, he confronts the peasant in question, offering to ensure that the wolves do not attack for a week if the farmer does something innocuous, such as not wear a particular tunic. Polandrus comes back every week, and the requirements gradually become sinful, and more and more heinous. By the end, the wolf relies more on the threat to expose the farmer's deeds than on the threat to the livestock.
Polandrus is unnaturally fast in combat, much more so than in normal situations. However, he never attacks people unless he is attacked first.

1 | Basic questions and answers | “Where is the church?,” “Do you sell food?” Constant mistakes, and an atrocious accent. People must speak slowly and often repeat themselves, and you cannot string a conversation together. |
2 | Basic conversation | You can sustain a short conversation on a common topic. You still make many mistakes, and often fail to catch what others say. |
3 | Haltingly functional | You can hold a conversation on everyday topics, although it takes time, you make many mistakes, and your accent is still bad. |
4 | Functional | You can hold a conversation on non-technical topics, and make few mistakes. People do not normally need to repeat themselves. This is the minimum level required to study from a book. |
5 | Fluent | You still have an accent if this is not your native language, but it is weak. You speak as well as most natives. This is the minimum level required to write a book. |
6 | Elegant | You choose your words well, and have no accent if this is not your native language. |
Two dialects of the same language generally have a –1 penalty. If your character is not specialized in a dialect, you should specify a dialect without specializing in it, and take the penalty when conversing with people who speak a different dialect. If you speak a \"standard\" version of the language, that is a dialect that differs from all other dialects.
When two people speak to each other, the lower Ability score determines how well they communicate. Characters who speak related languages can communicate at a penalty to their scores (assigned by the storyguide) depending on how closely related the two languages are.
Note that Latin and Hebrew are not living languages in most of Mythic Europe. However, characters who live in places where they are (such as some covenants) may learn this Ability without any special Virtues.
Characters with this Ability are illiterate unless they also have a score in Artes Liberales (page 62).
This Ability also covers artistic compositions in the language, and telling existing tales with verve and passion. Knowledge of stories is covered by the appropriate Lore Abilities.
Specialties: poetry, prose, specific dialects, expansive vocabulary, specific technical vocabulary, slang, storytelling. (General)
