Ancient History

 An unknown Garou forges the first klaive. Legends about their creation
change from place to place and depict it both as honor and offense, but the
deadly weapons become popular among all werewolves. With klaives in
their hands, violence between Garou and the Changing Breeds reaches a
new apex.
 Book Reference: Shattered Dreams.
 As their population increases, villages grown into cities. The sheer
number of inhabitants, combined with the infrastructure, traditions, and
laws allowing them to coexist, strengthens the Weaver’s influence over the
world while giving creatures such as Banes and vampires the opportunity
to feast and multiply behind the cities’ walls. Red Talons see this as proof
ending the Impergium was a mistake and urge the Garou to act, but the
other tribes settle along humans and merge with them.
 Book Reference: WtA 20th Anniversary Edition, Book of the Weaver.
 Several Changing Breeds adapt to encroaching civilization and rule
openly over human society as a combination of masters and gods. In
ancient Egypt, people worship the Bubasti and Mokolé, as do inhabitants
of the Indian subcontinent with the Bagheera, the Khan, and the Nagah. In
Southern America, Ananasi, Balam, Camazotz, and Mokolé help shape the
fate of all the human nations, free from Garou interference.

 Garou in Northern Europe fend off the invasion of armies of twisted
giants, chthonic agents of chaos and followers of the Wyrm. The Fianna
name them Fomorians, while the Get of Fenris call them Jotunn.
 Reference: Tribebook: Fianna, Tribebook: Get of Fenris.
 A wicked entity curses the Silent Striders. The werewolves lose any
ability to contact their ancestors and feel a growing unease whenever they
spend time in their Egyptian homeland. As the curse’s power grows, it
forces the Striders to leave Egypt and scatters them around the world.

 After Oreste manages to avoid retribution for the murder of his mother
Clytemnestra, the Black Furies install themselves as arbiters and deliverers
of sacred justice in Athens. For over a century, those who commit crimes
against women, the Wyld, and Mother Gaia in the shadow of the Acropolis
tremble in fear at the mere mention of the Kindly Ones.

 Silver Fangs, Warders of Man, and Bone Gnawers expand around
Northern Africa and the Mediterranean. As Rome grows in powers, the
 Garou and their Kinfolk blend with the ancient military society. The heavy
presence of vampires within the Republic does little to discourage Roman
Garou, despite constant gruesome conflicts.

 The powerful necromancer Odin raises an undead army to attack the
Get of Fenris. The battle ends when Great Fenris appears and destroys the

to kill the sorcerer.

 Rome’s moral corruption, combined with the sprawling size of the city,
allows Stannum, a powerful Bane of pollution and gluttony, to cross into
the material world. Werewolves manage to send it back to Malfeas, but do
little to change the circumstances which allowed the spirit to manifest.
 Reference: Tribebook: Glasswalkers.
 Rome expands further and becomes an empire. While its armies kill
and conquer their way across Europe, Garou of different tribes and their
Kinfolk fight on all sides of the wars. Though the Garou’s actions remain
untainted, if not honorable nor respectful of Gaia’s mandate, the hunger for
victory and revenge offers the Wyrm an easy leeway into the heart of
human warriors.
 Reference: Tribebook: Glasswalkers, Tribebook: White Howlers.
 Corruption spreads in the lands of the White Howlers, carried both by
the Roman legions and the tribe’s tainted Kinfolk. The furious werewolves
hunt the Wyrm creatures whenever they can find them, until the discovery
of a subterranean tunnel leading to Malfeas itself. The White Howlers sees
this as a change to strike at the heart of the Wyrm and descend in the blind
depths, never to return. What reemerges is a tribe of foul, malignant
werewolves: the Black Spiral Dancers, the Wyrm’s bastards.
 Reference: W20 Book of the Wyrm, Tribebook: White Howlers.

Middle Ages
 Odin returns. His magic increased massively over the centuries and
Odin himself is now something far worse than a powerful necromancer.
The Get prepare to war as soon as they discover the sorcerer’s presence,
with Great Fenris leading the offensive. Odin foresees the attack and, with
the help of traitorous Get, manages to magically bind Great Fenris. The
Incarna slays Odin by throwing a mountain at the necromancer, but
becomes imprisoned on the other side of the Gauntlet. Garou claim Great
Fenris’ chains will break during the Apocalypse, allowing the totem to join
the Final Battle.

 The Get of Fenris invade Britain along their Kinfolk and take over
caerns along their path, entering in conflict with local Silver Fangs and

Dancers fades as the Garou argue, allowing the fallen tribe to scatter
around Europe

triggers a painful flesh-warping reaction which, combined with their
devotion to their duties, means Bunyip prefers to keep their distance. Black
Spiral Dancer deceive European werewolves, setting up the Bunyip as
murderers and pretending to work along them. The Garou, blinded by their
