Rage Across Appalachia is a regional sourcebook for Werewolf: The Apocalypse with additional information for Changeling: The Dreaming.
Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Down in the Holler
- Deep in the backwoods of the southern Appalachian mountain range, the Garou hold out against the imminent destruction of their homes. The modern world intrudes harshly onto their sacred sites, building roads over spirit paths. The Wyrm burrows into the hearts of their Kinfolk and the Ways are forgotten.
- Ancient Magic Awakens
- But the Garou are not alone against their enemy: The native fae have been here longer, and they will not let their freeholds fall to corruption. It's a battle of backwoods wisdom and lore against an industrial society gone mad.
- Rage Across Appalachia is a regional sourcebook and chronicle setting for use with Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Changeling: The Dreaming. It includes:
- The supernatural history of Appalachia
- The local Garou, from the hillbilly Bone Gnawers to the native Uktena
- Details on the Nunnehi changelings, including new Bunks
Legends of the Garou: Spirit Messengers

Introduction
Chapter One: From the Beginning (An Appalachian History)
Chapter Two: The Geography of Appalachia
Details on the five Garou protectorates of the region:
- The Anakeesta Protectorate, encompassing the Great Smokey Mountains. Includes the city of Knoxville, Tennessee and Sept of the Changing Seasons.
- The Land of the Sky Protectorate, encompassing the Blue Ridge Mountains. Includes Asheville, North Carolina, and the Sept of the Grandfather.
- The Shawanese Protectorate, encompassing the Cumberland Mountains. Home to the Sept of the Moon's Blessing.
- The Protectorate of the Long River on the Cumberland Plateau. Includes Chattanooga, Tennessee and the Sept of the Mountain Watch.
- The Protectorate of the Ani-Kituwaghi, which overlaps with the Qualla Boundary, the official reservation of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee. Home to an Uktena sept, the Sept of the Seven Clans.
In addition, Appalachia is considered a duchy of the Kingdom of Willows among changelings, with a tenuous peace among the sidhe, the commoner Kithain and the nunnehi. The environmental damage caused by logging, mining and the chemical industry have left behind several prominent Hellholes.
