The thirteen remaining tribes of the Garou are simply different aspects
to the sinlge nature all the wolves posses. I will go into detail through the
rituals, histories, beliefs, culture and gifts&traits of each of the following tribes.
Listen well pup so that you might learn the ways of the Garou. But first i will recited the litany
our code that is our only laws we abide by. Then i will tell thee of the tribes,
and our breeds.
The Litany begins as a song sung by the Moonsingers:

I. Garou shall not mate with other Garou
Our gene is recessive therfore the mating of Garou with other
Garou would cause deformity, mental looseness and weakness.
II.Combat the wyrm whereever it dwell and whenever it breeds
this is our sworn enemy the wyrm, the defiler who
wishes to destroy the universe's mother Gaia.
III. Respect the territory of another
This is not as powerful as it once was due to the rise of
cities and mass transportation, but one should always
announce oneself to another in anothers territory
at the least as a politeness.
IV. Accept an honorable surrender
The ritual combat or sometimes bar brawls that go
with our inner rage cannot become a tool of the wyrm
therefore if one of our kinds submits accept it honorably.
V. Submit to those of a higher station
This law is of course to protect you my dear
we the elders know better then your eager rage
powered frenzies listen and prosper
VI. the first in station gets the first
choice of the kill
Again with age and experiance goes the spoils
It is for your own good of course.
VII. Ye shall not eat the flesh of humans
The corruptions of the wyrm hit the humans hardest since
they have little defenses against such spiritual assault..
therfore if thou consumes the humans thou will fall
to the spiritual decay of the humans as well
VIII. Respect for those beneath you
Learn this lesson well my friends the "little" people are many and we are few.
Treat your lessers with respect for it is the right thing to do...
it also makes the lesser folks like you who knows when they will
come in handy?
IX. The leader may not be challenged during wartime.
Again this is a paramount law my pups for if we are continously
in the throes of pack strife the wyrm has already defeated us.
