03: What was Kelemvor's family curse and how did it come to be?
Kelemvor´s curse was the family curse of the Lyonsbanes, which consisted in his being a lycanthrope who´s animal form was a black panther. The original curse was given to his ancestor Kyle Lyonsbane, who´s selfish, mercenary nature led him to deny help to a wounded sorceress because he saw no personal benefit in it. As the sorceress died, she cursed Kyle to turn into a mindless panther every time he performed an act out of a desire for personal reward. In the case of Kelemvor, 7 generations later, the curse was reversed in that he would turn into a panther if he performed any charitable deed without a reward. Kelemvor was doomed, therefore to demand a reward for every act he performed.
