Wildwane is a wasting disease endemic to Rothurland and parts of eastern Talgazan, where it is especially prevalent amongst werewolves. Though its specific cause is unknown, it is seen most often in individuals who live in the largely unpopulated interior forests. More than any other factor, however, it is the time a lycanthrope spends in their animalistic form that seems to best predict later development of wildwane.

The disease is characterized by a strong desire yet inability to eat, emaciation, and an insistence on repetitive, purposeless movement. Wildwane is nearly always fatal unless magically treated, and even then recovery is not guaranteed. Unaddressed non-lycanthropes succumb within a matter of weeks after showing symptoms, but werecreatures can live for potentially months with it.

Wildwane is also found, albeit rarely, in parts of the Western Coast in areas with a large Bronze-Armed population.
