Everything

The Croatan homeland is eerily quiet. The tribe’s sacri­ fice affected the Realm with a kind of Harano as it grieved their loss. The realm was once a grand expanse of landscapes capturing the essence of the Pure Lands; all that remains are plains and gentle rolling hills covered by wildflowers.

The homeland is devoid of other life with one exception. In the center of the Realm is a hill twice as large as the rest. It sometimes rumbles and shifts, disturbing the ground around it. Gaps in the soil reveal a tremendous shell covered by only a thin layer of dirt and flowers. Here Turtle slumbers, after the sacrifice of his tribe.

The rumblings come from the rare times he stirs and shifts. Some Kinfolk still carry the blood of the Croatan, and though other tribes adopted them, sometimes two Croatan Kin come together and produce a child that would be a pure Croatan were the tribe not dead. When this happens, Turtle stirs. One day such a pairing may produce a pure Croatan, who will go on to be the first of a reborn tribe. This Croatan must reclaim the homeland and wake Turtle. Whether this rebirth aids the Garou Nation or heralds the climax of the Apocalypse is unknown.
