Red Talons Tribebook

The Red Talons Tribebook is a sourcebook for the tabletop role-playing game Werewolf: The Apocalypse, which is part of the larger World of Darkness series by White Wolf Publishing. The book provides detailed information about the Red Talons, one of the tribes of Garou (werewolves) in the game.

Overview

The Red Talons are unique among the Garou tribes in that they are composed entirely of Lupus-born werewolves, meaning they are born as wolves rather than humans. This tribe is known for its fierce protection of the natural world and its disdain for humanity, which they see as a blight on the Earth. The Red Talons are often depicted as radical environmentalists, willing to go to extreme lengths to protect the wilderness.

Tribal Culture

The culture of the Red Talons is deeply rooted in their Lupus heritage. They value the instincts and traditions of wolves, and their society is structured around the pack mentality. The Red Talons have a strong connection to the Wyld, the chaotic and untamed aspect of the Triat that represents creation and growth.

Philosophy

The Red Talons believe that the Apocalypse is imminent and that humanity is largely to blame for the world's suffering. They advocate for a return to a more primal state of being and often clash with other Garou tribes that are more sympathetic to humans. Their philosophy is one of survival and purity, seeking to cleanse the world of human corruption.

Notable Members

The Red Talons have produced many notable members throughout the history of the Garou Nation. These individuals are often revered for their strength, wisdom, and dedication to the tribe's ideals.

Tribal Totem

The tribal totem of the Red Talons is Griffin, a powerful spirit that embodies the tribe's values of ferocity and protection of the wild. Griffin is a symbol of the tribe's connection to the natural world and their role as its defenders.

Relations with Other Tribes

The Red Talons have a contentious relationship with many of the other Garou tribes. They often find themselves at odds with tribes that have close ties to humanity, such as the Glass Walkers and the Children of Gaia. However, they share common ground with tribes like the Black Furies and the Wendigo, who also prioritize the protection of the natural world.

Gameplay

In Werewolf: The Apocalypse, players who choose to create a Red Talon character will find themselves embodying the tribe's fierce and uncompromising nature. Red Talon characters are often skilled in combat and survival, with abilities that reflect their deep connection to the wild.

Publication History

The Red Talons Tribebook was first published by White Wolf Publishing as part of the series of tribebooks that provide in-depth information about each of the Garou tribes. These books are essential resources for players and storytellers looking to explore the rich lore and unique characteristics of each tribe.
