As for why it's not common knowledge...people tend to either repress their memories of seeing werecreatures, or try to come up with a "reasonable" justification of the event, telling themselves that it was (to use an example from the story) just a mad dog. And yes...the intervention of Harbingers and the use of Tokens would also help to cover things up! Nonetheless, I'm sure some events could slip through, and this world would have its share of crazy people who think shapeshifters exist.

A quick worldbuilding question: Is the existence of werecritters known among the normal residents of the world? On the one hand, it seems like it would be very difficult to conceal a condition that causes you to sprout ears and a tail when you're not focused and that causes you to turn into a killing machine when you're scared. On the other hand, the main characters of the story certainly seem surprised by it, which suggests that it isn't common knowledge. There's magic (in the form of tokens), which could help to cover up minor breaches. And of course, there's the unknown 'adverse parties', who seem to have their own powers, and possibly their own reasons to keep things quiet... Awesome stuff.
