Children of Gaia
Umbral Realm · Werewolf
The Children of Gaia enjoy a verdant paradise for a homeland with wide-open plains, lush woodlands, rolling hills and bubbling streams meandering through the valleys. Delirium-free human tribes travel in caravans across the homeland. The humans tell fond stories of their werewolf protectors as they look up to the stars of the night sky and enjoy the gentle moonlight.
The water courses all eventually feed into a pair of riv ers that flow through the center of the Realm. Along these rivers, called Euphrates and Tigris after their real-world counterparts, are five idealized versions of the metropolises of ancient Sumer.
The Children of Gaia have free passage anywhere in the Realm. City gates stand open and welcoming and the nomadic caravans keep extra food, drink and gifts to present to the Garou whenever they grace the humans with their presence.
Rarely a traveler may spy a unicorn in the lightly-wooded forests, or even a herd grazing on the grasslands. The creatures are shy and easily spooked, but someone who approaches openly, honestly and with no violence in their heart can befriend the animals.
The Children of Gaia use the human population to test new ideas to introduce on Earth. The tribe debates and seeks non-violent means to achieve its goals. Other Garou point out the Children’s model is flawed as the humans here are well-disposed towards listening and cooperating with werewolves, and are willing to exhaust other avenues to avoid violence. The Children of Gaia counter that they are very willing to test their ideas on the human populations of other tribes’ homelands. So far their offer has had no takers.
The Children welcome other shapeshifters visiting their homeland as long as these travelers have peaceful intentions. They gift other shapeshifters with a unicorn anamae as guide and companion for their visit. Outsiders who violate the Children’s hospitality quickly find out that, while they strive for peace, the Children of Gaia’s claws and teeth are as sharp as any Garou’s.
