Daystar,
Eventhough the race is supposed to be Werewolves (not Vampires and Werevoles), we accpect this entry.
Personally, I would prefer that you stick to the subject, but you don't have to do it.
The entire concept is creative, and "the lost/forgotten" theme stick these two races togther, so it's pretty nice.
Just try to give them more in common, so they will look like a race, and not two separate ones.
I like the opening.
It's great, maybe good as the official ones.

I'm working on the history. When it is posted it will make more sense.

If anyone wants, I can review his entry shortly.
Or if you have a question about a specific part of the work, you can ask.
I'm talking about questions like "What do you think about the history?" or "Do you think I should change the ____?", etc.

Your history is actually very cute.
The classic Werewolves story about a small village that was attacked by the curse of the Werewolves' bite.
I just don't get at all the music thing. Since when evil creatures start singing?
The only thing about music that in my opinion can fit well with Werewolves is Pub singing of drunk old people.
You can change the entire theme, or try to pick a specific kind of music that will fit Werewolves. You can use my idea if you want to.
Tips that might help you a lot:
1. Organize the work. Use titles, CAPITOL letters and bold inportant things like creatures' names.
2. Adding statuses of the creatures is very simple and very helpful.
It helps us to understand the roll of each creature better; Offensive, Tank, Caster, Shotter, etc.

first, they are not evil creatures, just misunderstood.
music is pretty much the only thing that they can all do together, otherwise there blood lust takes over and they start fighting again.

Okay. Sounds fine.
Just make sure that it's written directly in the work.

Naga/Merfolk (My ideas)
Basic Information -
I'm thinking of the Merfolk as basically fish-tailed people, but the Naga as more serpentine, like in Warcraft and previous incarnations of HOMM. The two races are allied and interbreed.
History -
two races created to worship Shalassa, the Dragon of Water. They've kept to themselves until drawn out of solitude by war.
Creatures -
1. Mermaids - ranged attack
2. Naga Retiarius - based on the gladiator of the same name, he'd be armed with a trident and a net. Net ability could function similarly to the Treant's root binding.
3. Sea Turtles - slow and steady, upgrade could have a Naga rider
4. Naga Siren - caster, water damage spells and confusion, the upgrade would give puppet master too
5. Neptune Chariot - an older Merman in a chariot pulled by dolphins or sharks, he can cast a mini-earthquake
6. Kraken - giant squid monster
7. Water Dragon/Azure Dragon/Sea Serpent
Town description -
The Maelstrom, a gigantic whirlpool with a "Neptune's Palace" floating in the center. Outlying buildings float in the sides of the whirlpool and rotate.
Description of racial skill -
Seafaring/Flooding - they need water to travel, so they bring it with them! It floods the battlefield, lowering enemy initiative.
What do you think of these ideas?

Okay, Werewolves... I guess I might see what I can come up with.

Hello, Godwine. Welcome to the Weekly faction contest.
I will explain you the rules shortly:
Every three weeks (every round), I name a race.
The competitors should create a faction of the given race.
For this round, the race is Werewolves.
So all what you have to do is to create a faction for Werewolves.
The rest of the details can be found on the master post (the first post of the thread).
Good luck.

I have a lot of positive things to say about this faction. But I'll keep them to the summarizing post.
Anyway, there is always place for improvement.
There are few balance problems:
-Level 1 and 2 should be balanced. Level 1 has exremely high damage for level 1 creature, and 8 speed for a level 2 shooter is overpowered.
-The incorporeal ability of the 5th level creature is overpowered.
-You have 2 casters (levels 1 and 7) and 2 shooters (level 2 and 5). That's just isn't balanced. I suggest you to give the caster ability of level 1 to level 5 (intead of the incorporeal ability). That will make both of them more balanced.
-I don't really like the 7th level creature, "Old Man From The Forest". Doesn't seem to me interesting, and doesn't make sence that he is large creature and caster. I think that you should find other creature. You said he has other name, "Wolven Shepherd" If you want to keep him, use this name. It's shorter and sounds much better.
Edit:
Great editing of the faction. 
It's much better now.

Ty dud  !
Anyway, Wolven Shepherd has to be Large Creature, cuz Lesij is a big one, and in Slavic mythology Wolven Shpeherd and Lesij are the two names for the one creature...
EDIT: I have also changed lvl 7 creatures spells, repaired some mistakes and added moat's description in Town's description.

Suggestions for race for the next round are welcome.
It's important for us to know what you prefer.
Good suggestions might get picked.

I would like to see Ninjas.
Cuz of that, far-east factions haven't been realeased yet and you can invent fantastic creatures and write beautiful history of this faction. That's only my opinon, but I think Ninjas would be a great choice...
