Campaign History

The Get-of-Fenris control a powerful caern at St. Albans, its totem is Fenris himself and the Get are the envy of most of the garou in England. They share the caern with Shadow Lords, but the Lords have only a minor say in the running of the Caern. The leader Kern is opposed by the Shadow Lord Kendrick when some pups arrive. Kendrick supports them and uses them to gain support and take leadership. He wins a savage fight against Kern, and Kern is killed. Happy years pass for the caern, even though its power wanes. The Shadow Lords try to get popular support by changing the caern as a place of hope for lost pups. The caern changes its name and it becomes official 'The Caern of the Lost Pups" and the spirit Swan replaces Fenris. The Fenrir are furious. Years of defense take its toll and the last member of Kendrick's old pack dies at the railway station. Kendrick tries to save him personally but gets captured and corrupted by the Wyrm. Able to conceal his taint, he blames the caerns fall from glory on a Fianna Cormac. Cormac is eventually killed because he realizes Kendrick is Wyrm tainted. When evil Kendrick runs a moot, the caern falls, yet for a moment, Kendrick regains control and pushes the young garou on a spirit bridge to safety. Among them is John Constantine (JC). The caern falls to the Wyrm due to a new bane 'The Brain Dog' which can change reality.

A new life is built for the young garou, now experienced Cliaths at Manchester and the Sept of the Green. There a inspirational speaker Mother, who is caern leader is tying to unite the garou of England. Her motive is due to the fact her peaceful caern has few ahrouns. All the Children of Gaia ahroun go to live at Sept of the Legion in Caerleon as that is where all the fighting and glory is. The cliaths learn of the Legend of the Three Johns, in which three garou unite to avert Apocalypse for years. Two of them, go by the name of John, but the third remains a mystery. With the growing fame of the Cliaths Mother begins to show great progress at Moots and all the tribes begin to trust her. The Wyrm understands the threat of garou unity so it sends forth an army to Manchester. On the very eve of unity, Mother is killed by a formori's lucky blow. The tribes begun blame throwing and all her work falls apart. The Wyrm steals her body and return her as a zombie to upset the garou of the Sept of the Green. It works and the few Ahroun are led into an ambush and are killed. In chaos, the CoG at Manchester agree to allow some Red Talon ahroun live in the large park grounds for extra defence. In a series of assaults the garou prove victorious in a great battle and the Wyrm's forces pushed back. 

At this time, the Shadow Lords at Sept of the Castle (the rest of the Kendrick line) assault the Wyrm pit as St Albans and free Swan and cleanse the caern. It is weak, but again pure. Distrustful of the caern, elders refuse to go there, so the caern is ran by Cliaths.  Colchester's new active pack leader Jonathan Brimble becomes the caern leader. To appease Swan, a deal is made; there will always be a Black Fury caern guardian who will do the work of the totem. The only surviving garou from the old caern is a overweight priest called Father Wimbish. He aids the new caern by coming the head theurge. The caern is often under serious Wyrm assault, but as it survives its reputation begins to improve and it is aided heavily by the Sept of the Castle. The Cliaths from Manchester return to confront a Wyrm tainted Kendrick, who is now on the run. A great Wyrm beast is controlling him and so the three Johns (now reunited) convince the mages near St Albans to all turn against the Wyrm. Kendrick manages to get enough control to allow the garou and mages to put in a final blow. The Wyrm beast dies, and Kendrick becomes a legend. The mages have a temperamental truce with the garou at St Albans. JC and the Johns go on to find a White Howler rumored to be the perfect metis. The Get oppose them and soon the White Howler and one of the Johns is killed. JC packless begins to wander, disliked by most for his slanders and half truths. Jean De Grace, the second John falls in with the garou at St Albans.

Time passes, during which a Fianna 'Nicky Davis' openly opposes Lord Gilliat (the youngest brother of Kendrick) as he challenges to become king of England. Gilliat wins the crown and exiles Nicky to a barren caern. JC insults the new king at his coronation and makes a new enemy. The Shadow Lords come to power and immediately secure their leadership with new laws. The Get, angry about some of the new laws put their greatest warrior 'Lothar' into training, ready to challenge Gilliat. 

Another group of young garou, aided and supported by the Glasswalker 'City Streets' pack are raised at the Sept of Sherwood. The caern leader James Purcell agrees to give them caern places. Kenny Mitnick learns he is the brother of Space-On-Disk and also learns of his twisted heritage. Kenny is killed though in a leadership dispute with Jean De Grace. Under new leadership this group then learns of a new bane 'The Haephodant' a beast that can make copies of people and things and can hide its Wyrm taint. The doppelgangers are harmed by salt so the young garou unite as two Salt Packs to combat them. The pack is aided by hidden messages in a David Bowie song 'Life on Mars' which also prophecies the death of one of the packs mates. One team pursues the trail of the Haephodant to Mars and there combat and destroy the queen spirit. The second team deals blows to the doppelgangers on Earth, killing many of them but are not able to get to all of them. George Bush, now a copy, remains in power and the garou fail to get close to him. The Salt Packs disband. A grand moot sees Lord Gilliat lose his crown (and nearly his life) to the Fenris Lothar in a hard fought challenge. Lothar spares Gilliat to acquire favor with the garou council at the moot. The show works and King Lothar is sworn in. The Get bring a battle focus against the Wyrm and many see this as a good thing. 

The Caern of the Lost Pups, train a young Silver Fang 'Stefan Hein' and his pack mate. However, after a time Stefan falls out with Brimble (now called 'Choice') and leaves to go to The Sept of the Seabird, the caern ran by the exiled Nicky Davies. Here the tragic Hein is arranged to marry Rosanna Testini, last of the Austere Howl, a now extinct lineage, even though he secretly loves another garou. Their son is destined to rule England and turn the tide of the Wyrm. Deimos, the cryptic Theurge at St Albans takes a keen interest with the boy who is known as 'Bear' after his kin fetch. 

The next batch of pups to leave St Albans unite under the caern totem 'Swan' and through many adventures acquire plenty of renown. One of them Martin 'Silvertongue' Jenkins comes under the wing of Lord Gilliat. Together these garou go and discover a strange fetish called the Spear of Heavenly Light said to have stabbed Christ. The journey costs them their totem and a rivalry forms between Swan and Silvertongue. The spear is given to Lord Gilliat to look after. 

At a visit to Sept of the Castle, the boy picks up the Spear of Heavenly Light a fetish that all others struggle to attune. The spear accepts him readily, however Lord Gilliat does not allow the spear to leave the castle. Hein, despite attempts on his life goes into main stream garou politics.

Silvertongue and his pack 'The Un-scorched Branch' go on a quest through Europe searching for a lost klaive. They are joined by a pup of the Shadow Lords called Antoine. Back at home a young Children of Gaia girl channels the spirit of Mother and the hope of garou unity is brought back. As people rally around her, King Lothar and Lord Gilliat realize that her power brings an end to the Crown. The American Silver Fangs under Albrecht also support her. Gilliat enlists Antoine to kill Grandmother as the Un-scorched Branch pack falls to pieces in Egypt. Silvertongue goes to live with some mages as a way to secure himself a klaive. Antoine nearly succeeds in killing grandmother and she is gravely wounded but manages to recover. An enquiry led by Albrecht is sanctioned into the assassination attempt. Silvertongue is recovered from the mages and when they return they learn that Gilliat and Lothar both backed the attempt. However Grandmother turns out to be a Queen Haephodant and kills JC, she then is chased back into the umbra by Daemon Wright and Silvertongue. The incident with the Queen Haephodant causes a severe breach of the Litany in Manchester. The salt packs reform as a new queen threatens the garou nation.
