The Dead Tribes
Three tribes have fallen over the course of thousands of years but their memories live on, and in the case of the White Howlers, live on in sick twisted manner.

Bunyip: These were the strange marsupial wolves of Australia who the rest of the Garou slaughtered when they came to their homeland. The Umbra of Australia was a strange haunted place and the Garou accused the Bunyip of consorting with the Wyrm. Too late they learned that the Bunyip did no such thing and the strange beasts of the Dreamtime would have nothing to do with them after they killed the natives. The spirits of the slain Bunyip are said to still haunt the Dreamtime leaving all the Garou who visit Australia uneasy.

Croatan: There were originally three Native American tribes and were called the Three Brothers. Uktena was Older Brother, wise beyond imagining, Croatan was Middle Brother, steady and calm, and Wendigo was Younger Brother, full of passion and prone to rash action. When the Wyrmcomers came, they unknowing brought with them a great Wyrm beast called Eater-of-Souls which threatened to devour the whole world. To destroy it, the Croatan threw themselves into battle with it en masse and died, every last one of them. The Wendigo and Uktena came too late to the battle and could not save their dear brothers. The two remaining brothers have never forgiven the Europeans for bringing the Eater-of-Souls.

White Howlers: Battle crazed, blood thirsty Picts who were neighbors and cousins of the Get of Fenris and the Fianna. They were such great warriors that in their arrogance they threw themselves into the maw of the Wyrm, pressing it back into the depths of Malfeas. But, it was all for naught as the Howlers blindly pursued the Wyrm through the very heart of the Black Spiral Labyrinth in Malfeas, losing their minds, one and all and becoming the foul twisted Wyrm worshiping Black Spiral Dancers. The mad Dancers long ago slew the few Howlers who escaped Malfeas and no new ones have been born in some 2,000 years.
