My Changer-Family:
The Many Tribes


The many Tribes of Garou are split not just through their culture but in mind-set and attitude as well. They don't understand the need for tribal Unity. As wolves we instinctively gather together in packs, yet we also steak out territories to defend on our own. Wiser and nobler Garou see this as how we are in all aspcets, yet know we must unite to defeat the Wyrm. Like the First Pack, we are one in spirit and blood, and again as the First Pack...., we are splintered...., no longer whole.

These are my views on the other tribes.

So as to keep favoritism to each paragraph...they are listed alphabetically.


Black Furies

The Black Furies embody the essence of our Mother....Although She loves all equally.
The Furies are warriors, sisters, friends, and lovers....yes lovers....within their own Tribe. But, they are bullheaded and few will listen to reason when the subject of males is brouched. Altough they are vicisous and blood thristy warriors, equal to any Get, they are nuturers as well.
Don't ever undrestimate an Enraged Fury Mother....she'll show you exactly what she feels.


Bone Gnawers

Very few of the Tribes even give grudging respect for the Gnawers. I see them as the RAGABASH of the Tribes. They taunt our Ways, Question Garou "Rights", and make other Pompous leaders see the light. They are cunning, quick and care not about the world except surviving the up-coming End Days. They Fight the Wyrm their own way, as they embrace the fact that some of the Balancer might still remain.
The Gnawers have my respect...even if they don't believe or trust me....since I'm not one of their own.


Children of Gaia

On many a wandering I have come across a group of Children. They have healed my wounds and listened to my tales, before questioning my standing as a Garou. Many others have challenged me to my right as Garou..trying to evict me as Ronin. Yet, these gentle warriors always listened, then asked why I do these things. They make me think about my own loyalty to the Garou Nation, and they make me see the mistakes I carry with me.
Don't underestimate their "softness" for they are just as terrible in their Rage as any....remember they carry the blood of Wolf as well as any Garou.

Fianna

Ah....My own Tribe....
They are the worst and the best of the bunch of Garou....just because we can't get along with own own Tribe-mates. As the ol' saying goes "if there were only two Fianna left in the world they'd disagree with each other...just to be contrary."
I love my Tribe, but dispise their lack of unity. They are of one mind that the Wyrm is bad, but how to go about destroying it or even fixing the imbalance is always up for debate. This goes for all of the Garou Nation as well. For as much are my Tribe-mates split the rest of our kind are even more torn.
They are great warriors, and some of the most passionate of garou. If I can show them the face of our true enemy and give them a battle plan they need to follow...maybe they will unite finally..and take up the cause.


Get of Fenris

Yes, the mighty, male dominated, Get.
If they'd wake up and see that their females are just as tough if not more so...they'd be a Tribe to truely recoken with. They are a power unto themselves..of course...but with their females by their side as more then breeding stock....they could over-take even the Great Silver Fangs.
I respect their strength and would welcome a challenge from them any day. Test me Brothers! For I wish to know if my spirit and body might stand before Wyrm and His minions. I know you push yourselves to the limits and I am honored to have had my Tales rebuked then accepted all because of a trial by Combat!
These are the true Teeth and Claw of Gaia...but even teeth and claws need a brain to guide them.
Brothers and sisters of Fenris, take up my cause....if you dare..and see wether I am correct or not... If not I offer you my throat....to take if you can!


Glasswalkers

The City Mouse and the Country Mouse tale best describes how the rest of the Garou Nation feel towards the Glaswalkers. They are a strange lot, indeed, yet they understand their enviroment innately. They are the Masters of the City, as the Gnawers are the blue-collar workers that keep it running.
I have learned much from the Walkers and respect their connection with the city spirits. I have even been invited to a moot or two...geeze what stuffy affairs. Although they might follow some "laws", and what their Don's deem the proper way to do things, to a tee, they are the most intense and sophiscated of the garou. (Sliver Fang royalty set aside ... of course.)
Their understanding of the cities they reside within makes it a simple task to move about within one without disturbing the other natives. They also know that vampires can be as good an ally as dead. Their power-bases are far stronger and more complex than even the Eldest Walker. Also, to get inot a Blood-War with the resdient Kindred would take them away from more important affairs, like that of Kinfolk and battling Pentex (the real Arm of the Wyrm).


Red Talons

The last time I met a Talon, I nearly died trying to keep my Kindred friend from her death.
They are vicious hunters, the epitome of Wolf. Also, as they prefer the wild places over that of anykind of populated area, they are on the brink. I'd hate to move this section to the Lost Tribes, but it seems that the Talons are destined to dissappear. They are proud and regal, strong warriors and loyal only to their own. If a Talon agrees to an action another non-Talon planned, consider it a blessing (or that the Talon involved is and Elder and wise to the ways of his/her brethern garou).
They seek yet to cull the human population, and have yet kept a large portion of the truely wild wildernesses free of human encroachment. I commend their bravery and their skill, yet it is now time to succor as many allies as possible (even if they are human, or homid born). I have heard rumors of Talon Factions, within the strictly non-faction Tribe. If this is so, perhaps they have yet to "give up the ghost". Or..., perhaps this is a definete sign of the Final Days.
If so, siblings, we MUST unite!


Shadow Lords

WHO?
But seriously, the Lords are a scary lot. Back-stabbers, control-freaks, sneaky turn-coats..., and that's their good side. Yet, I digress. I have not met a Shadow Lord personally, nor enjoyed one as a friend and ally. I'm not sure if any of their number would dare such a thing.
They are ruthless and cunning. Their ways are an exact opposite of the Get's where honor and vows actually mean somethiing. A Lord's word never bond them to anyone. If you serve their purpose, they might follow you loyally enough. Then when your usefulness is done, they might turn you over to a High Council for a wrongful deed They committed.
As I've noted above, I don't know them well enough to put forth much more than tale and rumor. So, if any of this Tribe wishes to make a pact and keep it, I'll glady offer my hand (or paw) in friendship.


Silent Striders

Huh..., Who?
Ah yes, the wanderers, the Garou without a home. Like the Lords, I do not have personal connections with this Tribe. Yet, from what tales and rumors I have collected I know that they are lost in this world. They were ousted from Egypt, where they once held a High Court with the local Bastet (Bubasti) and the native Mokele. Their tales revered them as gods, and protectors, as well as bringers of death and the keepers of the souls who needed to pass onto judgement.
They are the only ones I know of that have such trafficking with Wraiths. Yet they are loyal to their ancient task. They also HATE mostly All kindred. I learned from Vampire lore as well as the stories gathered about this Tribe, what happened in Egypt so long ago. Not only do Striders, and the Bubasti wish these un-dead ill, the Camirllia despise this group as well.
Bode well all, the Setties did this to our own, and would do it again!


Silver Fangs

Ah, yes..., our most revered and respected leaders. They consider themselves the Alpha above all Tribes. Yet their short-sightedness when choosing kinfolk, and breeding stock created the problem they now must live with. Some are so crazed that they are rarely let loose into this world. We Fianna have a problem of some of Our Kin turning bane-crazed...but the Fangs are internally and many times externall worse by far.
Some of the Lords seek to undermine this great and powerful Tribe, but they have yet to do so. This is a testiment to the Fangs will and sheer prowess as leaders. Sure they might be crazy, but have they yet totally failed us? (please negate the War of Rage...that was only a major ooopsy)
