Garou Information
Garou are more than just large, angry werewolves that go on killing rampages. They have tribes, breeds, and auspices that dictate, in a general sense, who they are. Each individual is different but a Galliard will tell you a story, either by the fire, in a class, or with a song. An Ahroun will be more prone to fight you while a Philodox will be your judge, jury, and sometimes executioner.
For more information, please see the Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary book.
Your tribe is the family you were born into. A tribe tells the world what your base philosphy is (more or less) and explains what base gifts you get.
Auspice is what moon you were born under. This denotes the job you'll do in Garou society.
