Camps, sub-tribes and other groups that are mentioned only in first or second edition are preceded by a commercial at (@); those that are only mentioned in Revised are preceded by an asterisk (*); those who are mentioned in both eras are preceded by a pound sign (#). Keep in mind that the group doesn't necessarily have to still exist in Revised to be counted - if a Revised book discusses the recent destruction of a camp, even if the camp was destroyed utterly it still counts. The presence is to discuss whether something was ret-conned or not, or whether it's a recent addition.

The Garou

Notes:

  1. I include the eclipses as "subsets" to deal with the confusion about what role eclipses play in the Auspices - both whether they represent "sixth auspices" and the difference between solar and lunar eclipses. The former occur only during the new moon, and the latter only during the full moon. Back
  2. I considered splitting the tribes into "Garou Nation" and "Other", but certain groups - like the Boli Zouhisze, Hakken, Kucha Ekundu, and others - are part of tribes that are considered as being in the Garou Nation, but are not themselves. I did not wish to list them separately as that would lead to misconceptions as to their being separate tribes or not, so I opted to lump them all together. Political entities like the Garou Nation are too complicated to be categorized. Back
  3. In general I simply list the camps within a tribe (or sub-tribe) with no particular heading unless there are some other groupings to differentiate from. For instance, I like to differentiate between the camps and ruling bodies of the Black Furies, though they are not so different in role. Similarly, the Silver Fangs have Houses, Lodges and Camps - so it's important to label the camps as being such, but this is not necessary in most tribes. Back
  4. This sub-camp is only mentioned in WW3205, the old Werewolf Storytellers Handbook. Also mentioned there (and nowhere else to my knowledge) are the Revolutionary Guard (Shadow Lords), Fang Breakers (Red Talons and Wendigo), and the Inner Path (Stargazers). Back
  5. As there was not a Revised edition of Book of the Wyrm, there's really no mention of camps for the fallen tribe in Revised. Back
  6. The Wangtong are mentioned in Hengeyokai, and never mentioned elsewhere. This is a pity, but it is so. Back
  7. In the case of the Bringers of Eternal Peace (and similarly fallen or tainted camps) I choose to list it under its related tribe; although one can argue that by the point a Child of Gaia has fallen so far as to be described as a Bringer of Eternal Peace he or she would no longer be accepted by Unicorn, there is no conclusive proof as to this (refer to the case of the Manslayer in Tribebook: Black Furies Revised). Back
  8. The Mechanical Awakening is described in the first tribebook, and although it is mentioned in the revised tribebook it is only in the sense of "can anyone prove these things ever existed?" This is a sort of ret-con with agknowledgement that they were said to exist in the previous tribebook, but it may just be indicative of a peculiar and difficult-to-find camp. I list them as being pre-Revised only. Back
  9. The historical forms of the western Glass Walkers are included because I'm clearly insane. Other tribes have not experienced any such drastic shifts, and so they do not have any similar listings. Back
  10. The Greater Tribe of Grandfather Thunder is an attempt to deal with some confusion best exemplified by the confusion of how the Shadow Lords and Hakken are related. In first edition, when first described, the Hakken were described as being a sub-tribe of the Shadow Lords. By second edition the authors bolted in the opposite direction, claiming the two were completely separate tribes, even though they shared the exact same totem. Since a tribe is defined by its totem, it is foolish to suggest they are unrelated, and so to give the Hakken their due (describing them as a "subset" of the Shadow Lords gives them too little credit) I describe them as subsets of a greater ancestral tribe, the tribe of Grandfather Thunder. Back
  11. The We-Chon are mentioned as a Native American sub-tribe of the Stargazers in Axis Mundi, in the entry for Woneyah Konhe, the Dream Ravens. A Native-American sub-tribe is also mentioned in Tribebook: Stargazers Revised, though they are listed there as the Na-Dene Stargazers. I can only presume that these are the same group, but with different names; how many extinct Native American Stargazer sub-tribes can there be? Back
  12. Ronin are defined by their lack of a tribe, and the tribe is defined by the totem. Since the Siberakh are not properly Silver Fangs or Wendigo, and are not large enough or possessed of a single, universal totem they cannot be considered a tribe proper. Considering the former definition of Ronin one could make a case for the Siberakh simply being a subset of Ronin - although a large, cohesive group with generations of history, a shared gene pool, and a shared culture. This is not quite satisfying, however, since by this same definition one could call any cubs prior to their Rite of Passage "Ronin", and the same could be applied to the mythical First Pack (or other first body of Garou) that are generally described as being without tribes. Ronin will be used to describe former members of proper tribes that are no longer part of any proper tribes, or werewolves who consciously rejected all proper tribes without ever going through a rite of passage.
