Septs of the Garou
Septs Around the World
North America
While Canada is home to numerous Garou-controlled caerns, south of the border and the Caribbean has been overrun with leeches and Black Spiral Dancers. There are a few exceptions, but they live in states of constant danger. They’re surrounded by enemies, after all.

South America
There are a few Garou caerns in South America. Some of them are controlled by Ghost Raptor Wendigo and other native werewolves. A few were taken over by European Garou. However, much of the continent is covered in rainforest, and other shapeshifters call those realms home. The Mokole and Balam are still powerful in these jungles. Worse, like Central America, the Wyrm has a strong stranglehold on the region. Many caerns have been lost to the depredations of Pentex.

Europe
Though many Garou once hailed from these lands, many of these lands have been lost to human and vampire encroachment. From the time of the Roman Empire, the Garou have steadily lost lands in this part of the world, never to be regained.

Africa
North of the Sahara, a few Garou caerns can be found. Egypt’s leeches drove out the native Garou (Silent Striders) and no Septs yet exist there today. The desert nature of the region is also not comfortable to the Garou and few even look for caerns here. South of the Sahara is another story, but it is still the bastions of other shapeshifters who can and do repel Garou intrusions. Bastet, Ananasi, and Mokole are all very powerful in sub-Saharan Africa. A mighty pack of Red Talon warriors challenged Blacktooth and the Endless Storm and were ripped to pieces. No serious Garou aggressions have taken place since, though they maintain the few caerns they already had.

Australia
Though the Bunyip were eradicated and their caerns taken, the Garou of Australia face other problems. Their lack of understanding of and connection to the Dreamtime has begun to close down a number of caerns. This spiritual malnourishment confuses the European Garou, who mostly react to the problem by doubling down and lashing out harder at any perceived threats. Only aboriginal Uktena are able to maintain their caerns as they always have. Of course, the Red Talons and Get of Fenris may decide to “liberate” those sites in the near future…
