Children of Gaia Tribebook is a sourcebook for Werewolf: The Apocalypse detailing the culture of the Children of Gaia.
Summary[]
- War is the way of the Wyrm. And War is easy.
- Peace is the way of Gaia. But Pease is the hardest work there is.
- So why not fight an all-out war against the Wyrm? In the shadow of the Apocalyse, why not win at all costs?
- Because that's what the Wyrm wants.
- Because in winning we will lose.
- If we triumph in the Apocalyse through terror, suffering and betrayal, we will create a world of terror, suffering and betrayal. And the Wyrm will win.
- The only solution is Peace. But how do we wage Peace?
- We must win by healing the world.
- We must win by changing ourselves.
- Or else our salvation becomes out damnation.
- The Children of Gaia Tribebook includes:
- The history and culture of the Children of Gaia
- A "Legends of the Garou" comic book.
- Five ready-to-play character templates.
- Alternative summary:
- "To Lie Down with the Wolf and the Lamb, Such is the Will of Gaia"
- The most empathic of all the werewolves, the Children of Gaia believe that the Wyrm cannot be defeated with its own tactics of violence and destruction. Only by returning hate with understanding, by ever-forgiving one's enemy, will the Apocalypse be diverted. The third Tribebook looks at the Children of Gaia: their enduring history, legends and behavior, as told by a Child of Gaia sage. This heavily illustrated book reveals the hidden triumph of good over evil throughout history.
- Includes: The history and culture of the Children of Gaia, a Legends of the Garou comic book, five ready-to-play character templates.
