"Nothing is known of their origin", said Trymir. "According to our history books they first emerged during the last great war, when the Aldmeri Dominion sought to conquer Tamriel. When races of Men, the Dunmer and the Beastfolk were at their most dire hour, these fiends suddenly emerged. I don't know if we should be thankful for it or not. Though the war was quickly brought to an end, mankind has been pushed to the edge of complete extermination."

He held up a finger. "But... we do have some strange accounts of reports from almost 90 years back in which a scout encountered a wolf of normal size. When it attacked him and he killed it, he brough back it's body for examination. It turns out that its metabolism and genetical structure had remained unaltered in comparison to its giants counterparts. So our guess is that this... phenomenon, if you wish to call it that, stems from some kind of outbreak. A disease perhaps. Or some kind of rapid mutation on an evolutionary level. Sadly, we do not know its source. But from what we learned of that dead animal, we know for a fact that this hasn't affected every animal globally and thus we can outrule any theories speculating that this is some sort of divine punishment."

He pointed at a large map depicting Tamriel. "The Beasts first started to appear in eastern Cyrodiil, conveniently ending the last war when the Thalmor invaded the Imperial mainland. Our scouts however have reported nothing of particular interest, even though Beast activity seems to be more concentrated in those areas than anywhere else."
