Three years ago, packs of werewolves worked together as a Sept in Broad Brook, Massachusetts, battling the Wyrm, the enemy of Gaia. While other Septs fell to the Wyrm or tore themselves apart with fratricidal Rage, Broad Brook thrived. Some said they would be the ones to stop the Apocalypse.

But in one night, a Wyrm Spirit called "the Answering Tiger" destroyed the Broad Brook Sept and defiled its caern. In fact, Broad Brook had never been thriving at all. The Tiger had deceived their senses, disordered their thoughts, and turned them against one another. Where the different tribes saw trust, in truth there was resentment and growing Rage. Where the different packs saw safety, there were security flaws that could be exploited. Where they saw the Wyrm, there were innocents that they massacred, before reporting to other Septs about another glorious victory.

In the glabro form you're in now, as well as the other two supernatural forms (the dire wolf hispo or the crinos war-form), you can focus your spiritual energy and quickly heal from injuries. However, wounds caused by silver, fire, or certain attacks that specifically target immortal creatures (such as the fangs of another werewolf) disrupt your ability to regenerate: a night's rest is usually necessary to start healing from those terrible wounds.
