| Garou Shall Not Mate with Garou |
To breed with a Garou is not our way, many try to justify it, it is still wrong. The Metis are the victims. That is how we prosecute the other tribes. | |
| Combat the Wyrm Wherever It Dwells and Whenever It Breeds | We hold true to this, but also remember that physical confrontation does not a war make. We have learned that to be better in battle, information is the key, information is power! | |
| Respect the Territory of Another |
This is a weakness in the times we now live in. The traditions of howls only tell our enemy's where we are, nothing more. But to ignore it is not a breech of the Litany, for any scholar of history will tell how many times we have saved a Sept with but this simple error of etiquette. | |
| Accept an Honorable Surrender | If only the Silver Fangs and the other Garou, could just listen to reason and negotiate. The needless death would stop, and we could kill our enemies more efficiently.. But it is not what you do that makes your enemy fear you, it is what you say. | |
| Submission to Those of Higher Station |
If they are a weak leader, question them at every turn. If they are a strong leader, obey without question. | |
| The First Share of the Kill for the Greatest in Station |
Those of greatest in station are not always the ones in charge. If your leader is weak then the greatest must take it from him or face breaking the Litany. | |
| Respect for Those Beneath Ye - All Are of Gaia |
We have developed more civilized methods of dealing with surrender; covert methods of warfare and diplomacy. Never use claws where a knife in the throat would suffice; never use a knife where words would do. Conservation of resources is the mark of a true warrior. | |
| The Veil Shall Not Be Lifted | A world wide shadow campaign is in full effect to find violators of this to be dealt with. | |
| Do Not Suffer Thy People to Tend Thy Sickness |
With this said, why are the diseases of our race still amongst us. All Silver Fangs are a violation of the Litany by this law. Why do we allow them to cause us to suffer? | |
| Ye Shall Not Eat the Flesh of Humans |
In short, DON'T. It leads others to investigate our actions, we have no wish to have our secrets reviled. | |
| The Leader May Be Challenged at Any Time During Peace |
This part of the Litany should never come to question. If a leader is not at war against the Wyrm then he is weak and should be questioned and replaced. | |
| The Leader May Not Be Challenged During Wartime | If a leader is at war, then he is strong or will die soon. Support a strong leader and make him you ally. Even if he is not a Shadow Lord, respect strength. Oh yes...the era of equality. If he...or SHE is not a Shadow Lord...respect strength. | |
| Ye Shall Take No Action That Causes a Caern to Be Violated | Do what ever it takes to make our caerns safe, any garou of any tribe that does not will face the full fury of a Shadow Lord court. |
