   Entry settings

   Garou is a term used by the werewolves breed to identify their race and culture. The term is used nearly interchangeably with Garou Nation. Werewolves cannot breed among themselves to preserve their lineage; their blood is too potent, and the result is always a deformed Metis. To continue their bloodlines, werewolves must mate with pure humans and wolves or kinfolk. However, the chance that any children or cubs that result from such a pairing will breed true is small. Garou are divided into different Tribes. Garou have several special abilities. They heal damage incredibly fast, and can be killed by little but silver or the claws and fangs of other supernaturals. They can change shapes at will and step into the Umbra, the spirit world. They are granted Gifts by the spirits; these are special magical abilities or spells. Even in human form werewolf is much stronger than any human. Werewolves mother are giving birth in corresponding form (mostly in human form).

   While the Garou were created by Gaia as her fangs and claws, to keep her safe, they were not her only children. She created many other breeds of shapeshifters and gave them each a task. Some have lost their way with time; others were forced from their roles by the Garou. Some have turned to serving only one aspect of the Triat, instead of Gaia as a whole. Fera is the term most commonly used by the Garou themselves, to mean shapechangers of other races; other breeds have similar terms. Most Fera have at least a strong distrust of the Garou, due to the actions of the Garou during the War of Rage.

   Crinos is the war-form of some Fera. Fusing the deadliest aspects of human and beast into one body, this form's sole purpose is to kill and shred all enemies into pieces. A werewolf assuming the Crinos form would display gigantic fangs and horrific claws; long, powerful arms; thick skin and bones; heavy fur; and a large wolf tail for balance and body language.

    The Weaver is one of the three great spirits of the Triat. Its function was thought to be to make order from the creations of the Wyld, giving them form and function for the duration of their existence before they were destroyed by the Wyrm, maintaining a balance between creation and destruction.

    Entry settings

    The Wyrm is one of the three incalculably powerful spirits comprising the Triat. The Wyrm's purpose was to cleanse and rectify all of Creation, furthering its descent into Entropy. When the Weaver went mad and began encasing everything in Webs to prevent the destruction of its creations, the Wyrm was progressively constrained until it could no longer fulfill its purpose as it wished. Denied the opportunity to do as it had been created to do, it was driven into a state of pure rage and madness, hellbent on destroying everything regardless of whether it’s appointed time had come or not. Consequently, the Wyrm now exists as a Dark God of destruction, chaos, darkness, and corruption; the very essence of everything the Garou oppose.

    Tribes are the largest social unit of the Garou. Tribe members are often bound by bloodlines, similar totems, and lifestyles. A Garou is not bound to join the tribe of their ancestry; a cub, for example, may not meet the standards expected of a tribe and is therefore unacceptable as a member. The personal philosophies of an individual Garou may also drive them to seek another tribe that meshes better with their views.

Creatures without enough Gnosis generally cannot perceive or enter the Umbra. Gnosis is a renewable, but dwindling, resource.

    Harano is a psychological condition that hinders some werewolves. Harano is an inexplicable gloom, inexpressible longing for unnameable things, weeping for that which is not yet lost. Some say it is depression caused by contemplation of Gaia's suffering. Garou who suffer from Harano are prone to depression, lassitude, and sudden mood swings. They may not act at all, or may explode into intense but ill-advised activity. Garou of every tribe suffer from Harano, but the Silver Fangs are especially prone to it.

The matriarchs of the Garou, the Black Furies only accept women as members (save a few male metis), and are known for their honor, wisdom, pride, and fierce skills in battle. While many outsiders claim them to be the ultimate feminists and men-hating Amazons, the Black Furies think of themselves as providing opportunities to females who would have otherwise been oppressed. Instead of working through intimidation, the Furies are usually content to help women and children through persuasion and compromise. To those who offend them or hurt their charges, however, the Furies are merciless avengers and punishers of whatever they consider crimes. While the Black Furies present the face of a women-only club, they count a surprising number of male metis among their ranks. They ceremonially sacrificed all male cubs in the past. Now, however, most are given to other tribes, while the rest are secretly sacrificed. Totem - Pegasus

The Bone Gnawers see themselves as underdogs, waiting to triumph against overconfident foes. Freedom and practicality rule above all else when it comes to the Bone Gnawers. They care little for the supposed superiority of Garou and are content to remain in the alleys, gutters, and sewers of man as long as it means they can live on their own terms. Most Bone Gnawers are extremely savvy when it comes to surviving in the streets of man. No other tribe is as accomplished at urban fighting as the Bone Gnawers, and surprise is considered their primary tactic. Totem - Rat

    The Children of Gaia are one of the Tribes. The peacekeepers of the Garou, the Children work for understanding between the tribes and hope to eventually form all tribes into a unified front against the Wyrm. The Children of Gaia are often used as mediators in disputes between packs, septs, or tribes. Though the Children of Gaia are strong advocates of peace and mercy, it is unity above all else that the tribe cares for. Mercy, they feel, is for their fellow Garou, and those who can be cleansed of the influence of the Weaver and the Wyrm. Peace is their dream, once the tribes of the Garou are united against the Wyrm and the Apocalypse War has been won. That unity is deeply important to them, not only because they are merciful healers, but because they are warriors as well. While it is true that the tribe is more tolerant of metis, they do not advocate such breaches, in part because much of the time they are the ones who end up raising the offspring of such unions.

    The Fianna are one of the Tribes. Strongly based on Celtic and European traditions, they are known among the Garou for their passions for the pleasure of life, their skills and ferocity in battle, and as keepers of the music, stories, and lore of the Garou. The Fianna acknowledge three virtues: Hospitality, Generosity, and Bravery. All three are traits that, according to the Tribe, set them apart from the rest of the Nation. The Fianna believe that deformities mirror some spiritual corruption. For this reason, they shun their Metis, and a Fiann that finds himself maimed beyond even a Garou's healing powers is avoided. Their desire to be free of flaws and to live free is mirrored in this rejection of those that are different. Totem - Stag

    The Get of Fenris are one of the Tribes. Fierce warriors with little room for mercy and compassion, the Fenrir view themselves as great heroes, but have been known to shock other Garou with their violent ways. The prime focus of the Get of Fenris is heroism; all members must act against their enemies, particularly the Wyrm. There is no room for cowardice or indecisiveness among the Fenrir, and retreat is not in their vocabulary. In past times, the Get have been extremely harsh towards female members, but in the last century, female Get have had a chance to prove themselves to be as heroic and fierce in battle as the tribe's male members. Even though the Tribe's reputation for cruelty and intolerance is well deserved, a sizable number of modern Get of Fenris have begun to incorporate compassion and kindness into their cultural creed. Strength, they reason, is a gift from Gaia that they have a responsibility to use to protect the weak with; and those who dare to bully the weak are therefore cowards of the lowest order, undeserving of life.

Glass Walkers don't have the strong aversion to human populations that most Garou do. To the other Tribes, the Glass Walkers are dangerously close to falling from Gaia, turning wholeheartedly to the Weaver. The Glass Walkers themselves, however, maintain that they are the ones that work to keep the Weaver's work clean from the Taint of the Wyrm. While most Garou are disgusted by the "scabs" they call human cities, Glass Walkers thrive in them, embracing human culture and technology, incorporating it into their rites and gifts, and using it to their own benefit and the benefit of Gaia.

They shun cities completely, exclusively living in their ancestral homelands as they have for centuries. As humans encroach on the wilderness, the Red Talons find their lands and hunting grounds disappearing and destroyed. Although not all Red Talons believe humanity should be wiped out entirely, it is agreed among all tribe members that humans are to be shunned. Those that dare cross the path of a Red Talon, guilty or innocent, will be killed to stop the spread of the Wyrm's taint. Many secretly devour the flesh of their victims, however, which goes directly against the Litany set forth by the Garou Nation.

In a group that emphasizes brains over brawn, the Shadow Lords are one of the less physical tribes, placing high emphasis on cunning and manipulation. That is not to say that they do not have their fair share of adept warriors. Power is most important of all of these, and there is no room in the Shadow Lords for showing weakness or mercy to an opponent, be it a battle of wits or of blades. In considering their standings among the other tribes, the Lords have a particular hatred for the Silver Fangs, seeing the Garou nobility as an outdated dinosaur holding the rest back from achieving their full potential.

Nomadic, introspective, and highly spiritual, the Silent Striders have plumbed the depths of the Umbra, perhaps more deeply than any other tribe of Garou. Striders are rarely found in the company of other Striders, perhaps occasionally pairing up with another for a difficult journey. More often than not, a Strider in a group is found in a pack composed of many tribes. Otherwise, they tend to remain loners, never settling down. One of the reasons for their frequent wandering is to find and destroy the influence of the Wyrm. To meet these ends, the Striders have pierced into the Umbra and into the realms of the dead. They are the only tribe to have mastered this art, and for this reason they have an unsettling air about them that tends to disturb other Garou. The Striders hold their greatest hatred for vampires.

Sadly, many younger members of the tribe suffer from odd quirks - absent-mindedness, mild hallucinations, somnambulism - nothing overtly psychotic, but noticeable nevertheless. The powerful history of the tribe lays a heavy burden on the shoulders of its members, and many are too proud to ask for help. Fangs suffer from diseases of the spirit and mind. Inbreeding and harano have weakened the foundation of the tribe, and although they strive to set things right, it may already be too late. The Silver Fangs put a strong emphasis on family and are heavily dominated by homids, believing only those that are raised near power and have the necessary noblesse oblige can properly wield power. To this end, they disdain any signs of impure breeding and even go so far to choose the mates for their Kinfolk in order to maintain blood purity. Totem - Falcon

    Black Spiral Dancers are one of the tribes who turned to the Wyrm. The Dancers are quite insane, and usually sadistic; however, the Wyrm has given its slaves terrible powers of their own, as well as a violent hatred for the Gaian Garou. The average Black Spiral Dancer has a short and violent life, their goals bringing them into direct conflict with the remaining Garou tribes. Black Spiral Dancers roughly resemble other Garou; however, many of them are malformed, either through metis birth or close proximity to the radioactive balefires of the Wyrm. As a group, the Black Spiral Dancers blame all other Garou tribes for abandoning the White Howlers when they descended into the depths of the Earth and refusing to save them when it became clear that the future Black Spirals Dancers would find only madness there. While it is a rare Spiral that actually survives from those days, this belief does translate into who the dark tribe targets for recruitment; they will happily offer revenge to any werewolf who joins them.

Kinfolk are related by varying degrees to the Fera by blood, but do not possess the spiritual component necessary to undergo the First Change. They are divided into two breeds, human or animal. A kinfolk is considered to be a part of (or property of) a Tribe and owe loyalty to that Tribe above all else. The most common extra-normal ability, inherent to all kinfolk is that they're immune to effects of the Delirium, although they're still appropriately prone to fear of an enraged being in Crinos. Though opinions of and attitudes toward kinfolk vary by individual Fera, Septs, and Tribes, kinfolk are recognized as members of the Garou Nation and Beast Courts. Under no circumstance may kin hold rank, regardless of how renowned, respected, or beloved they may be.

    Metis is a term used to describe a rare mutant breed of Fera: the offspring of two Fera who broke the Litany for love or lust. Metis are born in the Crinos form and that is their natural form - however, they are deformed and sterile. All garou metis are deformed and sterile and shunned by most tribes. Ajaba metis are all hermaphrodites rather than being deformed, and serve as the social and spiritual intermediary between the male mystics and female warriors. Ananasi parings produce offspring, but these Atahsaia are kept in the Deep Umbra after birth to serve some purpose known only to Queen Ananasa herself. Bastet produce deformed and sterile metis, but they do not suffer from social stigma. Kitsune metis (shinju) are neither deformed nor sterile. However, only 10% of all Kitsune to Kitsune offspring are shinju rather than normal human or fox Kinfolk. One of the Kitsune parents dies. Mokolé metis die before they are born, as their developing mind is incapable of dreaming up an Archid form. These Innocents wander the middle-Umbra as ghosts, near-mindlessly seeking out Mokolé to attack. Nagah parings under very specific conditions produce a single fertile, undeformed offspring called an ahi. A mother may give birth to only one ahi in their lifetime; all other pairings with male Nagah produce Kinfolk. Ratkin metis are not only deformed and sterile, but have less endurance. They are infected with the Birthing Plague early in their lives, and few survive it. Corax, Gurahl, Nuwisha, and Rokea do not produce metis at all.

    Homid are a breed of the Fera (including the Garou), who were born as and raised by humans, which is their natural form. Homids do not make their First Change until puberty or thereafter; prior to their change, many suffer from dreams and visions dealing with wolves and the wilderness.

    Lupus are a breed of Garou who was born as and raised as a wolf, which is their natural form. Many lupus are familiar with Gaia and bear a strong grudge towards humans for their tampering; this frequently extends to Homid Garou.
