01 First Change

The Cub gets to learn about the Garou born under the Crescent moon. The Theurges. The shamans of the Nation. Masters of rituals, the ways of the spirits and the secrets of the Umbra.

We take the first steps in understanding the five Auspices of the Garou Nation with the Ragabash. Tricksters, Questioners and some see them as Fools, but those born under the New Moon are much more.

The Cub and Jordan have been on the run from the Whippoorwill pack of Black Spiral Dancers for a night and a day. It seems that Jordan wanted this race to be run. Now the end is in sight. While they have a few moments before fate takes a hand Jordan gives the Cub a rundown of the different power levels of spirits. He also explains how a Garou pack is formed, what it means and the advantages and disadvantages of forming such a bond with other Garou. The bear audio in this episode is "Grizzle Bear (Vocalizations)" from the Yellowstone National Park Audio collection.

The Cub and Jordan end up at a local diner to catch an actual meal and not just a bag of potato chips and energy bars. While having the first hot meal either has seen since the day before Jordan explains the five shapes-shifting forms of the Garou. The Homid (Human), Glabro (Near Human), Crinos, Hispo (Near Wolf) and Lupus (Wolf) forms.  Special shout out to A Bunch of Gamers for sharing the Silver Page.

The Cub and Jordan have a bit of time as the Talen used has not yet expired. So doing his duty to the Nation, in his own way; Jordan begins to teach the Cub the Litany. The laws by which the Garou Nation is governed and the ones that Jordan has...opinions on. 

The Cub and the Narrator find themselves still on the run from some threat that the Narrator is aware of. The two take shelter inside an old building and with the moment of quiet the Narrator beings to explain the cosmology of the Garou Nation. Specifically about the three great spiritual forces in the World of Darkness. The Wyld, the Weaver and the Wyrm.

The Cub has just changed for the first time and meets an unexpected guide in these first nights as a newly Changed Garou. What awaits this newest member of the Garou Nation? Who is this person that is guiding them through this night? Mature themes are discussed throughout the World of Darkness. Listener discretion is advised.

This is the intro episode of the Silver Page. A Werewolf the Apocalypse lore podcast set in the World of Darkness. This is just me talking into a mic unscripted to say hello and to let you all know what the heck this is all about. Which is Werewolf. The Lore of the Garou Nation presented in a narrative format.
