1997 (WOD)

Events

 * The Reawakening. Malkavians regain Dementation.


 * Early 1997
 * In early 1997, Garou begin to regroup in Russia and launch a series of counter-attacks against the forces of Baba Yaga.


 * January
 * Stargazer leader Chien Sun is attacked with a poisoned dagger, the Wyrmish toxins sending him into a coma.


 * October
 * In late October Baba Yaga's forces attack the Sept of the Crystal Mind (of the Stargazers) and the Aral Sea Caern (House Wise Heart Silver Fangs). By the end of the month every single member of the Silver Fang sept had been destroyed, ending the line of House Wise Heart Silver Fangs in Russia. The Stargazer caern barely survives through guerilla tactics. At the same time, the hag sends forces into Siberia to deal with the Wendigo who had fought her back in early 1995.


 * November
 * November 1: Garou begin to converge on Kursk, the former home of Gregornous Deathwing. Silent Strider spies claimed he had returned to his home after decades of absence, and so an attack is launched this day, slaying Gregornous Deathwing. Over fifty Garou die in the battle, including a number of great leaders – the Bone Gnawer leader Nicholas Zukeine and Mother's Pride of the Black Furies.
