Men who do not understand the proper way of things might commit these wrongs, or the Wyrm itself might cause them. To the Furies, it makes no difference: The souls of these defilers’ victims cry out for retribution, and they are retribution’s vehicle.

 

The Furies both defend and aggressively seek out Wyld sites that might make suitable caems. Their own caems are reputed to be treasure  troves of ancient fetishes and powerful talens, but few members of other tribes can get close

enough to discover the truth of this; many Furies are particularly suspicious of the Silver Fangs, Shadowlords and Get of Fenris for their “curiosity" about such rumors.

 

One particular camp of the Black Furies, the Freebooters, scours the world for the Wyld sites that could serve as caems once the sites are properly purified. They succeed only rarely, making one success the cause for great celebration.

 

In the End Times, young Black Furies have begun to seize territory inside large cities, hoping to make an impact on women’s lives there, in the heart of the Wyrm. Whether they will succeed or not remains to be seen, but many tribal elders wam great calamity should their daughters and nieces continue on such a path; they believe the Furies’

most important role is not as counselor and friend to the homids, but as avenger.

 

Tribal Totem: Pegasus

 

Advantage: The Furies can regain one spent Willpower Trait by spending a day at a site holy to Gaia, such as a caem or glade. They can continue to regain spent Traits, one per day, until they have reached is their maximum.

 

Drawback: The Black Furies are more likely to frenzy when angered by men than they are by women (or even by sexless spirits). They must expend an additional Willpower Trait to avoid frenzy when angered by men. This Drawback does not impact a Fury’s day-to-day interactions with men; it only affects them when frenzy is a danger.

 

Backgrounds: No restrictions

 

Beginning Tribal Gifts: Breath of the Wyld, Heightened Senses, Sense WYm 

 

Wolf Form: In Crinos, Hispo and Lupus forms, a Black Fury’s fur is black or a very deep gray; some exhibit white, gray or silver highlights. 

 

Organization: Females dominate the Black Furies’ tribal hierarchy; although male metis are permitted to remain in the tribe, they rarely take positions of authority. The ruling body of the tribe is known as the Outer Calyx, consisting of 13 veteran Black Furies from across the world who coordinate tribal activities on a global scale. The Outer Calyx is answerable only to the Inner Calyx, five elder Furies rumored to be selected by the Incama Artemis herself.

 

Habitat / Protectorate: Since legendary times, the Furies have acted to defend women and to punish those who violate the natural way of things; they hold fast to the former part of their protectorate more than the latter in these final days. They have a strong affinity for the ancient, wild and sacred places, and will defend those to the last, but in modern days have taken up arms in the cities to better strike at their foes’ hearts. Their Kin are both male and female, but males are more likely to be tasked with building influence in mortal society, and some are viewed as little better than breeding stock.
