Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

CHAPTER NUMBER: CHAPTER TITLE
or advice and simply lead by example, knowing that their
wisdom will win out.
Territories: More than the other tribes, Storm Lords
favor territories that normal men and wolves find inhospitable.
From the windswept heights of forbidding mountain
ranges to murky lowland flood planes to desolate tundra
steppes to parched hardpan deserts, they stake out claims
and viciously repel interlopers. They do so not because
they have no better options, but because someone must
look after these places, and who better than the strongest,
most brutally tenacious of the People? Not every Storm
Lord sees the inherent benefit in such a life, however, and
many seek to fulfill their ambitions in the choicest, most
comfortable territories they can manage.
Concepts: prodigal alpha, face-man for the pack, eye
of the storm, prophet and pack beta, blackmailer, righteous
crusader, grizzled veteran mentor
Quote: This is your territory, is it? I might have guessed.
No, stop talking, and let me tell you what we’re going to do to
fix it up.
STEREOTYPES
Blood Talons: They’re as honorable, brave
and uncompromising as we are, but they’re not
always willing to do what’s ultimately necessary
to truly secure their territories.
Bone Shadows: They unflinchingly go to
extraordinary lengths to confront what others
misunderstand and fear. We would do the same
as often were it as necessary as they believe.
Hunters in Darkness: They represent the
opposite end of the spectrum from us, defending
their territories subtly by sowing paranoia among
their enemies. It’s a bizarre strategy, but it seems
to work.
Iron Masters: Adaptability and compromise
have earned them significant, unassailable power
in their urban territories, but what does such
specialization cost them?
Ghost Wolves: The ones who survive the
longest on their own are worthy of our respect
and make decent allies. The rest are no better
than scared, ignorant children.

Pure Tribes: Luna’s mercy overrules the bitter,
vengeful dogma of their petulant fanaticism.
We’ll see who’s standing last.
Vampires: If they really are unseen lords of
the night, why is their every move motivated by
an undying fear of their prey?
Mages: They hide their strength well
— there’s no way of telling one from an ordinary
human until it’s too late. One wonders if they’re
simply worried about the human herd, or if
they’re hiding from things that they can see and
we can’t.
Humans: The worst of them meekly simper
or fawn over one another, making it impossible
to respect them. The strongest of them risk
alienating themselves even from their peers,
thus forgetting what makes them strong to
begin with.
