The Dark Litany is the Litany of the Wyrm, followed by Black Spiral Dancers. Despite the perception of the Black Spirals as a tribe of lawless chaos, their Litany is often more strictly upheld than that of the Garou Nation.

Version Differences[]

The Dark Litany in W20 formulates several new key tenets and expands them.
