Bastet (WTA)


 * For the Egyptian deity from the Scion game line, see Bastet (Scion).

Bastet, like the Kitsune, were created by Luna (whom they call Selene). Rather than given a specific purpose, each tribe attempts to fill a gap where others didn't quite catch on.

Garou (and some others) refer to them as the Eyes of Gaia, since much contact comes in Egypt where the Silent Striders once allied with the Sorcerous Bubasti against the Vampire Set, and in North America where the Wendigo and Uktena have regular dealing with the enigmatic Qualmi.

The Tribes of Bastet include:


 * Bagheera - Werepanthers/Wereleopards of Africa and Asia
 * Balam - Werejaguars of South America
 * Bubasti - Werekyphur of Egypt
 * Khan - Weretigers of Asia
 * Pumonca - Werecougars of North America
 * Qualmi - Werelynx of North America
 * Simba - Werelions of Africa and Gir in India,
 * Swara - Werecheetahs of Africa.

There were also the Ceilican, Fae-tied werecats of Europe, but most died out hundreds of years ago. What remained were further decimated (or turned) by the Black Spiral Dancers recently. There may be a handful of them left untainted, but probably an equal handful left that now stand beside the Dancers as the Hellcats.

One last "Tribe" may get a mention: the Khara were the Sabretooths of North America. They may have been the first Tribe, or may not. Since they were killed by an Ice Age, that may never be known.

Errata
The Ajaba were considered to be a tribe of the Bastet in earlier editions, but as of Revised they are considered to be a breed of Fera on their own.
