Many Talon metis are still culled at birth or given to the Children of Gaia to rear. Given their backgrounds, few Talons are comfortable with Weaver-things of any kind. Most see the value in klaives,

and a few even appreciate the usefulness of agunor telephone, but for the most part they communicate via howls and fight with claws and feel that that should be enough.

Still, the other tribes admit the Talons have long memories, and no doubt recall rites and secrets long forgotten by the rest of the Garou. 

 

Talon hatred of humans is legendary, and that hatred has grown by leapsand bounds in these nights of Alaskan wolfkills and bulldozed forests; some believe , that the humans should be wiped from Gaia’s face entirely. Others are more  restrained, thinking that returning to the practice of culling would be enough.

 

A few humans even live peacefully

near Talon territories, provided they respect the land. Many Talons enact a private Impergium against humans who

move into protected  lands. The deaths are often swift, but some younger Red Talonstake more pleasure in the killings than their elders think prudent. Cruelties and ritual torture that rival the Black Spiral Dancers are surely the touch of the Wyrm. Some, it is whispered, even violate the Litany - “Ye Shall Not Eat the Flesh of Humans.” The malice of such unnecessary activity surely tempts the Wyrm, and the tribe’s  elders watch their youthful students more and more carefully in the modern  nights.

 

 

Tribal Totem: Griffin

 

Advantage: As the manifestation of Gaia’s anger, the Red Talons gainan additional free Rage Trait at character generation and have a maximum Rage one higher than members of other tribes do. (They may go over their

Trait maximums with this Advantage.)

 

Drawback: The Red Talons embrace the Wyld so strongly that they cannot regain Gnosis when they are distant from its touch. They can only do  so in the deep wilderness (generally, where the city is far and the Gauntlet is lower than 5). However, they can always regain in the heart of the city.

 

Backgrounds: Given their affinity with the Wyld. The Red Talons are unable to take Allies, Contacts and Resouces. Their kinfolk are always wolves. 

 

Beginning Tribal Gifts: Beast Speech, Scent of Running Water & Wolf at the Door

 

Wolf Form: The Red Talon's wolf form is her natural one and she is most comfortable wearing it. They are larger than full grown wolves with powerful jaws and broad haunches. Their fur is usually a reddish brown, yet they bare a single lock of pure blood red fur seen by the tribe as their mark of blessing from Gaia (and mark of curse in the eyes of other tribes)

 

Organization: Red Talons have little in the ways of organization apart from at Pack Level. The Pack works with fevored hierachy and will hold to it with blood. The Beta, usually a Ragabash however will normally take the brunt of abuse from those higher than him in the pack and will be subserviant to all the others within. 

 

Habitat / Protectorate : As the wolves lands shrink so does the terroritories of the Red Talons. The most remote parts of the Asian Steppes, the frozen lands of Siberia and some of the Canadian Rockies still belong to them, however they lose acres of their lands everyday.  Some Talons will set up staging grounds closer to homid territory, but they are more likely to strike directly at those who intrude on their ever-shrinking lands. Their Kinfolk are wolf packs across the world, and every one is precious to them; the loss of a pup is certainly worth a few human lives. Some won’t even acknowledge human Kinfolk, causing clashes with other tribes
