Prophecies of Shadow

The Prophecies of Shadow (also named the Ten Visions) were a prophecy made during the Dark Ages by the Red Talon Songs-of-Shadows. Many believed that they were omens of the Apocalypse.

Overview
Songs-of-Shadows came from the North in the year 1200 and began to spread his prophecies among Caerns of the Red Talons, adressing Garou of every rank and urging them to warn the Garou of other tribes. The Talons held a Grand moot, where the tribal Elders agreed to spread Songs-of-Shadows warnings among the Garou Nation, while sending a sole pack into the north to investigate where the Theurge had come from. The rest of the Nation took no heed of warnings from an outsider and chided the Talons for the naivity. The pack that had traveled northwards met Songs-of-Shadows, who warned that ignoring his prophecies would only harm Gaia. He advised them to return and continue to warn. When the pack arrived at another tribal moot, the sky was lit by northern lights in strange colors, ten times. It was then that the Red Talons knew that Songs-of-Shadows had spoken the truth.

The rest of the Garou Nation would learn this after 1204. Constantinople, one of the greatest cities in the world, was attacked by crusaders. The rest of the Garou Nation remembered the warnings of the Red Talons and called for concolation to discuss it. Soon, the words of the Red Talons were examined more closely, hoping to avert further disasters.

 * Black Furies: "I saw a dying mother birth her child in lands that wept black tears. Maiden, Mother and Crone all stood by and watched the mother at the hands of a great frozen darkness - their choice echoed in the hallways of hollow footsteps on marble. When the blood on the floor dried, the death-play ended, leaving only children and their sisters to pick up the bones and ligaments and weave them back into a semblance of life. The lady of bone and sinew deserted the Furies then, leaving them to shift their faces, one to another. All must change before the Great Night falls.".
