Name: Silver Fang
Plural: Silver Fangs
Pronounciation: sihl'-vur fangz'
Totem:
Falcon Totem of Respect. Like the Silver Fangs he serves, Falcon is a most noble spirit. With deep keen eyes, he can look into the Garou Heard, rewarding and inspiring the valorous and Honorable. As a Respected totem, Falcon brings unity to the Fangs and thus to the Garou. But rumors of the Silver Fang's less-than-sterling performance of late has tarnished Falcon's reputation. But only Slightly.
Those chosen by Falcon glow with leadership and are strong houses of willpower. Each of those who run under the wings of Falcon gain renown of Honor when doing so.
Because of this Dishonor is worse than Death to children of falcon. They must never be stripped of their honor, and if they do they must right their wrongs or perform a Rite of Contrition and further atone for their offense by hurling themselves at a powerful minion of the Wyrm. Whiles this may end in what is essentially a suicide run, their blood will wash away the stain on their names.
The Tribe:
The Silver Fangs are the traditional rulers of the Garou Nation. Their Kinfolk hail from the most highly placed noble families in Europe, northern Africa and western Asia, and their regal blood and pure breed are obvious to any Garou they encounter. At the same time, the Silver Fangs' continued breeding among the same noble families has concentrated some mental eccentricities within the tribe; in the modern days, few Silver Fangs have all of their mental faculties. Some see visions of the tribe's heroic past, others lose memories, and others have even more dangerous derangements.
Still, the tribe's noble blood, general coherence and millennia of tradition combine to allow them to easily command respect and obedience from most Garou. The Silver Fangs are wealthy in land, money and magic, and most Silver Fang kings are quick to reward loyal service. Silver Fangs rarely step into occupied septs and demand control of the caern, but they often rise to positions of power within multi-tribal septs due to their natural charisma and combat prowess.
In the modem day, fewer and fewer Garou are willing to submit to the Silver Fangs' claim of Gaia-blessed right of rulership; it seems obvious to younger werewolves that the Silver Fangs may be as much a liability to the Western Concordiat as they are born leaders. Rumors abound that the Silver Fangs themselves will fight at the head of the forces of the Wyrm, when the final drum sounds. Young Silver Fangs speak of refreshing the tribe's bloodlines, but the elders exhibit shock and horror at the very suggestion.
Tribal Advantage:
First Tribe Because the tribe has taken to the roles of the traditional leaders and commanders of the Garou for at least 15,000 years, Silver Fangs can use this against other Garou once in challenges of a social nature.
Tribal Disadvantage:
Derangement Wither it be a curse from Luna, or a product of their kinfolks inbreeding (royals, keeping the bloodline pure by keeping it in the family...), All Silver Fangs now suffer from an odd quirk of madness. These quirks can be anything from mood swings, fixations, manic depressive disorders, anxieties, to unstable personalties. Whatever the cause of this madness, it is the main reason that most other tribes see the Fangs in such a jaded light.
