Welcome
to my world human . My name is Sungmanitu Tanka and I am a Garou
my tribe
is
called the Glass Walkers .
You may be wondering what the Gaou
are . Well we are also called Lupin and Werewolf however we
prefer the name GAROU . Gaia is
our mother and we are her defender . Most Garou live in the country
however some Garou live within
the city . So have met the Leeches as we Garou call them , they are also
called vampires but they call themselves Kindred . The Kindred are the
children of Cain some Kindred have allied with the Garou .
However most Kindred and Garou
are not allies .
"We are Garou , werewolves , shapeshifters
.
We are creatures of human folklore
,
their nightmares and their legends
.
But we are not who they believe
us to be . We walk between worlds .
The worlds of humankind and our
Mother Earth .
The worlds of flesh and spirit
. The worlds of rage and reason .
Throughout history , our brothers
and sisters
have fought with fang , claw and
spirit to protect
Gaia - the Earth Mother .
This is Her final hour - our Apocalypse
.
This is your legend" .
The tribes of Garou
Bone Gnawers
This urban tribe is tied instinctually to life on
the street . Long ago , they began as scavengers in India and Northern
Africa . Now they stalk wherever the homeless and desperate struggle to
survive .
Children of Gaia
As gentle mediators , the Children favor healing and
understanding over bloodshed . No other tribe is as committed to helping
humanity .
Fianna
Exclusively of Celtic descent , the Fianna are known
for their wild passions and artistic insight . They are famous for their
skilled bards , great warriors and mystical ties to the fae .
Get of Fenris
Surviving the harsh lands of Northern Europe , the
Fenrir have developed a savage , bloodthirsty and fatalistic view of life
. As one of the most martial tribes of werewolves , they are also unparalleled
at dealing in death .
Glass Walkers
For thousands of years , the
Walkers hid in human cities , living as wolves among sheep . Other Garou
typically mistrust them , not only for their proficiency with high technology
, but also for their love of human cities and culture .
Red Talons
Composed entirely of lupus Garou
, this tribe is well known for its fierce hatred of humans . Talons thrive
whenever they can commune with the mysteries of the wild .
Shadow Lords
Ruthless , devious and ambitious - the Lords value
political power over all else , and they are fascinated by the politics
of Garou society . By struggling against their rivals in Eastern Europe
for millennia , they have become masters of diplomacy and Machiavellian
intrigue .
Silent Strider
Once they dwelt in the fabled lands of Khem in Ancient
Egypt , but no longer . Now they roam the Earth , following an insatiable
wanderlust . Striders typically join packs that love to travel , often
communing with gypsies , wanderers and the restless spirits of the dead
along the way .
Silver Fangs
Once the unquestioned rulers of Garou society , the
Fangs are descended from some of the greatest werewolves in history . Lineage
and ancestry is critical to them . Since their glorious days in their Russian
homelands , they have fallen prey to tragic flaws , often spiraling into
despair and madness .
Uktena
Animistic peoples from every corner of the Earth have
contributed to this eclectic and mysterious tribe . Ethnically diverse
and intensely curious , they hoard knowledge of magic from all over the
world as well as a deep understanding of the occult that they dare not
share with outsiders .
Wendigo
This tribe is descended from Native American Garou
. Their strongest septs are in the northernmost portions of North America
, where they endure some of the harshest conditions on Earth .
The Legend of the Garou
Thousands of years ago , before
humans used language to describe the events of the past , the Earth Mother
created three supernatural forces - the Weaver , the Wyrm and the Wyld
- to maintain the universe . She guided all nature's creatures with a feral
claw .
It was the Earth Mother , they
say , who first taught us to change our shape . And it was at Her command
that we fostered the fledgling human race . Many were the shapeshifting
kinds , but we were the most
powerful , the most feared - the Garou , the werewolves . Together , we
kept the human herds in check . A conclave of our tribes ruled our kind
, and we were the Earth's dominant species .
We reveled in our dominance , and we sought to command all shapeshifters . When not all would bow to our might , we claimed our kin to be a threat to Gaia's human children . In retaliation for their defiance , we waged a savage battle against our changing kind . We never expected that those we sought to protect would be the next to dissent .
The violence was so terrible that humankind turned its back on us all . While we carved out a path in blood , humans relegated us to myth and legend and began their own story . So much did humankind deny our existence that , to this day , humans who see a Garou retreat in madness and forget what they have seen .
Today , we Garou live under the Veil , concealing ourselves from the humans who are now dominant among Gaia's offspring . But still , be it in the world of flesh or spirit , we fight to prevent the Apocalypse . As humans pollute the world and cities grow , strangling the wild places , so too do the Wyrm and the Weaver fight each other in a conflict that can only destroy the world .
We Garou stand in their way .
Our struggle today is more dire than ever , for indeed , we are the last
generation of warriors .
