Summary[]
From the Onyx Path Catalog:
- Allow me to tell you the tale of the werewolf who went rushing into battle without heeding the advice of their sept Elders.
- Oh, wait. I can’t. That werewolf died and left no tales behind to tell.
- Instead, let me tell you the tale of the werewolf who remained in his camp, chronicling stories of other werewolves’ great deeds.
- Oh, I can’t do that either. That Garou achieved nothing beyond scratchings on bark.
- Very well, I’ll tell you a better tale. A tale of hundreds of Garou, who fought, clawed, sang, howled, triumphed, despaired, and faced the Apocalypse head on.
- Yes. That will be a better tale. We’ll call it the Apocalyptic Record.
- The Apocalyptic Record includes:
- Five chapters of in-character accounts, reports, songs, and tales from the heart of the Garou Nation, covering stories of grief and joy, battle and peace, spirits and kin.
- Story hooks in every chapter to make the content within the immediately usable at the gaming table.
- A chapter dedicated to the Werewolf: The Apocalypse metaplot, and how to utilize it in your stories.

Introduction[]
Ahroun Tales[]
We open our story with the Full Moon and its tales of combat, bloodshed, and wisdom gained from the battlefield. War is our footing, and destruction is at hand.
Galliard Tales[]
We move on to the Gibbous Moon and the songs sung by the Galliard, with stories of tradition, inspiration, and grievous loss. Our Galliards impart tales of stirring victory and howling defeat.

Theurge Tales[]
We move on to the Crescent Moon and share stories of journeys into the Umbra, the power of spirits, and fetishes and Gifts possessed by the Theurge. The Theurges impart their insight here from their varied views of the spirit world.
Ragabash Tales[]
We hear from representatives of the New Moon and all their promises of poetics, trickery, Kinfolk, and Wyrm-tainted foes. Through canny and calculation, the Ragabash may hold the key to triumph in the face of Apocalypse.
Philodox Tales[]
Our judges and mediators, the Philodox, conclude our tale. Like the Half Moon that represents them, they advocate for balance, even if that sometimes takes the form of an eye for an eye. Their stories are ones of peace, no matter how temporary, and ruling, whether that authority serves justice or not.
On Metaplot[]
Werewolf: The Apocalypse has a history stretching back many, many years. This chapter opens the door on that history, and provides invaluable advice on how to utilize it in your chronicles.
