The birth of Clan Gangrel and the connection to the Lupines as far as the tale is concerned is correct; who are we to dispute this ancient lore? Conjecture perhaps, none the less, this tale has never changed unlike many of the other clan histories you may have been privy to one or twice. It would seem that neonates, fledglings will speak to each other of all manner of things. How else do we know some of the things we know now? Nevermind that the eldest among us have also told wild tales of the other clans.
The clan has been working on fostering a relationship with the Lupines, given their connection to them. They have relationships with many a magical and mythical creature that inhabit the woods and surrounding meadows of their lands. They remember the sites where many magical rites were performed and the powerful mages of old who used such potent magics.
They are proud and they take pride in their childer. It�s not uncommon for childer to stay with their respective Sires for years or days, though depends on the Gangrel. In these tumultious nights, it�s not uncommon to find a Gangrel fledgling without his or her sire but with enough knowledge to see her through any battle or situation.
Gangrels can come from all walks of life, male or female. Phsyical prowess is important just as knowledge is important. They secure their lands from all manner of invaders from Lupine to other Cainites. They travel long and far. They use the power of earth and the ways of the beasts. Shapeshifting does take time to learn but it has its rewards. Have you ever seen a large black dog or a wolf out late at night? It may have been a Gangrel.
The steady decline in those people who still practice the old ways and worship old gods has not gone unnoticed by the Gangrels. Many of them still cling to their old ways and see Christans as a form of parasites; they come in and convert the simple tender people of the lands these Gangrel inhabit, forcing the Gangrel to retreat even further back into the deeper parts of their domains.
They dress in the manner of their people or as feirce looking barbarians. Even of the Celts of old, those war like superstitious people will out last all of Christendom. How can they not survive? They are a tenatious people with fire in their veins.
The road or path of the Gangrel is far from being over, only the fates know what will come for them if anything at all. For now they content themselves with being alone, communing with the mystical and animal life of their domains.
