White Wolf Entertainment AB, formerly White Wolf Publishing, was an American roleplaying game and book publisher. The company was founded in 1991 as a merger between Lion Rampant and White Wolf Magazine, and was initially led by Mark Rein-Hagen of the former and Steve Wieck and Stewart Wieck of the latter. White Wolf Publishing, Inc. merged with CCP Games in 2006. White Wolf Publishing operated as an imprint of CCP hf, but ceased in-house production of any material, instead licensing their properties to other publishers. It was announced in October 2015 that White Wolf had been acquired from CCP by Paradox Interactive. In November 2018, after most of its staff were dismissed for making controversial statements, it was announced that White Wolf would no longer function as an entity separate from Paradox Interactive.

William of Norwich was an English boy whose disappearance and killing was, at the time, attributed to the orders of a Pseudo-Messiah based in Southern France and to have been allegedly carried out by that leader's followers among the French-speaking Jewish community of Norwich. It is the earliest documented Medieval accusation against Jews of ritual child murder. The crime occurred at a time of messianic fervor among Jewish communities throughout the known world and one in which Christian holy sites were desperate to compete for pilgrims and their donations, particularly following martyrdoms and paranormal apparitions. The Diocese of Norwich, which promoted stories of William's supposed death, in odium fidei, lacked a local patron saint and associated pilgrimage shrine. It is widely believed that they exploited the accusations for their own institutional benefit, especially to compete with the cult of St Edmund at Bury.
