Summary[]

From the White Wolf catalog:

The Gathering Storm

For countless centuries, they have endured the rule of weaker Garou. They have sacrificed their own honor to further the goals of the Garou Nation, and received nothing but scorn in return. They use weapons shunned by the other tribes, and have contacts and pawns in the most dangerous places. Now they are ready to come into their own. The balance of power is about to shift...

Lords of Thunder and Darkness

The hidden strengths of the most cunning tribe come to light with the newest Revised Tribebook - Tribebook: Shadow Lords. Explore the hidden paths of power within Grandfather Thunder's tribe, and learn the secrets that drove them down their dark road. Take up the burden of doing the shadow work of the Garou Nation, and win your own place among the hierarchy of Lords. And don't be afraid to get your hands dirty - in this tribe, results are what matters.
