Garou

GAROU WEREWOLF WEREWOLVES
At the beginning of things, Gaia - the world and the spirit that embodies it -
set all things in a balance that would maintain and encourage life. Near the
top of this chain of being was humanity, and above them were the Garou - the
sacred warriors of the spirit. They were appointed to be the crusaders
against the Wyrm, who spreads its cancer through the humans. They are the
preservers of the raw essence of life, of nature's diversity and purity. They
are the Earth's immune system, fighting the disease of the Wyrm. They are the
werewolves, and they fight and destroy the children of the Wyrm (such as the
vampires) at every opportunity.
