Werewolf: The Apocalypse is about anger over the loss of what the shapeshifting Garou hold dearest: Gaia, the Earth itself. Corruption from without and within has caused the destruction not only of the Garou''s environment, but also of their families, friends and culture, which extends in an unbroken line to the very dawn of life. No matter how righteously the Garou hold themselves, no matter how they prey on their destroyers, the corruption spreads. Now the time for reconciliation is past. This grave insult against Gaia can end in only one way: blood, betrayal... and rage. Combines Ways of the Wolf and Monkeywrench! Pentex.

Archival material, secondary sources, newspaper reports and hospital minutes have also been used to validate the detail of this verbal record.

The Mythic Age wanes, its denizens disappearing into the Otherworld, its Quintessential energies fading. But some refuse to let it go. These magi dare to tread the bane places and twisted paths that still shimmer with ancient power. These dwindling lands still have guardians, though. Spirits and secrets that sorely test those who try to wrest forth their power. The Grimoire expands the Dark Ages: Mage world, providing insight into Fellowships in various lands, aids to help players and Storytellers grasp medieval magic and superstition, and hints on maintaining chantries in the tumultuous times of the early 13th century. There''s also a look at hedge magic, medieval holy days and the shallowings they create, and a host of creatures--including the fae--that haunt the forlorn frontiers of Dark Ages Europe.
