Garou Shall not Mate with Garou
We're obssessed with pure blood, and until the 18th Century metis were basically unknown to the Tribe. Buuuuut,(com'on, you KNEW there was gonna be a "but" in here ~~weg~~)....due to the recent shrinkage of our gene pools, we been forced to turn to our own kind to carry on the line.
Combat the Wyrm Wherever it Dwells
and Whenever it Breeds
We are the leaders of all Garou, and because of this the Wyrm fear us. When we can organize ourselves into acting as one, we can be quite a formidable foe (betcha didn't know i knew all these big words, huh? ~~G~~).
Respect the Territory of Another
All territories technically belong to us, so we can never violate this law. For a long while, we've allowed the other Tribes to hold exclusive rights to certain pieces of land, and we'd never think to violate this agreement.
Accept an Honorable Surrender
We follow very anceint rules in battle, many that are based on medieval chivalry, but actually come from much earlier on. Because of the low numbers of Garou, we tend to let this rule stand, although our own personal codes don't allow us to surrender. (Hello, can we say "double standard"?? ~~L~~)
Submission to those of Higher Station
This is the basis of our authority, and our Tribe views any Silver Fang of any rank to be of higher station than any non-Fang of the same rank. (hehehe, ~~looking around grinning~~)
the First Share of the Kill
for the Greatest in Station
Most Tribes will still give in to this law when a Fang is around. (This explains why I'm so well fed)
Ye Shall not eat the Flesh of Humans
We strictly enforce this one. (HMMmmm, not sure if a "love bite" counts or not. ~~S~~)
respt for those Beneath Ye-
All are of Gaia
This is usually upheld, and we still see the other Tribes as our children - unruly but loved. (Hehe, ME - a babysitter. ~~weg~~ funny, the neighbors never asked me to babysit their children. Hmmmm wonder why?)
the Veil shall not be Lifted
This needs to be upheld, and we'll strictly punish any who break it - even a Fang. (shhhheeeaaahhh, right! ~~L~~)
do not Suffer they People
to Tend thy Sickness
This is one we tend to ignore very frequently. As many Tribes will agree to, most of the Fangs are "sick" in some manner, but we let them all live and remain an active member of our Tribe. (it makes it more interesting this way!)
The Leader may be Challenged at
any time during Peace
This is only applicable to leaders of specific packs and septs. Our Leadership as the Rulers of the Garou May NOT EVER be challenged. (~~weg~~)
the Leader may not be Challenged During Wartime
Due to the coming Apocolypse, all Tribes are in a constant state of war, so this is like a moot point. (Yes, score one for the Fangs!)
Ye shall take no Action that
causes a Caern to be Violated
Because of past victories, we hold a lot of Caerns, so we greatly enforce this rule. (ever seen that "keep of the grass" sign? We invented it. No! really we did!! What? you don't believe me? would I lie to you? ~~batting my eyes, grinning~~)
