During this time, Garou are credited with destroying large human cities, slowing the technological and scientific progress of the human race, and even imposing population caps upon the humans of any given area, killing and sometimes eating humans when they grew too numerous. The Garou prevented it by declaring a limited war upon humanity, a period known as the Impergium. The formation of nations and cities was the first radical change wrought on the Garou by humanity. At some point, the Weaver went mad by trying to bring the entirety of the Wyld's chaos into order and in doing so, trapped the Wyrm in her Pattern Web, injuring it while also driving it to madness and making it seek out the destruction of the world of Gaia's creation. In addition, they believe in the existence of the Triat, a trio of deities that define how the world works: the Weaver is the deity of order and scientific advancement, the Wyld is the deity of creation and chaos, while the Wyrm is the deity of entropy and charged with keeping the balance between order and chaos. They have done so by culling overgrown populations, hunting overly powerful predators that would otherwise rampage unchecked, and fending off otherworldly spirits who have overstepped their boundaries. Other themes of the game include the inability of the Garou to live as/among humans, although they were born in human form due to The Curse, interaction with spirits that today are separated from the physical world in a realm the Garou can enter.Īccording to Garou oral history, it has always been their duty to maintain the balance of nature on behalf of Gaia. In doing so, the Garou regard themselves as the immune system of the planet, after a fashion. This includes fallen Garou, vampires, evil spirits, mages/sorcerers, and humans (and other creatures) possessed by demons. In their war, the Garou often hunt down and kill humans and supernatural creatures that either actively pursue the Apocalypse or unwittingly contribute to it, due to their parasitic nature. They do so hidden from the public eye and live in secret from humanity in general. The Garou battle to maintain this world before all the negativity leads to a total collapse, the titular Apocalypse. The setting is also described as " Gothic-Punk." However, it's a dark reflection of our world filled with corruption, apathy, violence, and hopelessness. The game takes place in a fictional version of our Earth, a secret world, where werewolves, vampires, and other legendary creatures secretly live beside humans. Usually the player characters form a pack and work together to gain renown among the other Garou, so that they can advance in rank. After this, they are considered of Cliath rank. Specifically player characters usually are supposed to have undergone some training as Garou and succeeded in an initiation rite known as the Rite of Passage. The basic premise of the game is that the player characters are Garou.
