Vampire The Masquerade Lore: Who are Clan Gangrel? 

Does his sire jump out of trashcans screaming kiryu chan perchance?

@@phobia_master-lord_of_early LOL

... Unagi?

@@phobia_master-lord_of_early No but my DM made it a point to play the theme music when these happened.

@@bonissoni1989 No idea who that is.

There are many different reasons given for them leaving the camarilla and Xaviers is the most believed one, its also the one that makes the most sense. Its hard to say which event was the final straw since the Gangrel leaving was almost an inevitability. Its the same with the Anarch Revolt or First inquisition, many things lead to it (enough where I might make videos on events like this) The main reason I hand wave away the reason for why they left is for time since to tell all the reasons would take too long and some of them are contradictions.

We're petty as hell

Barbarian + Vampire = Gangrel for the most part. The clan bloodlines are where you can find the druids types.

Well then, allow me to indulge this curiosity briefly. Werewolves are inherently spiritual creatures who were made alongside the other werebeasts as the guardians of Gaia, or the spiritual embodiment of earth and nature, which in it’s self has 3 aspects. The Wyld (wilderness, chaos, animals, etc.), the weaver (Civilization, order, humans, etc.), and the Wyrm (Death, decay, vampires, pollution, etc.) for a long time they were balanced and good but the werewolves became prideful and believed all the other fera needed to listen to them as Gaia and the moons chosen champion. The other fera or werebeasts if you prefer disagreed and a war ensued severely weakening all the fera, Garou included (the chosen name for werewolves). This allowed the Wyrm to gain an edge and started causing a lot of problems. The Garou believe this to be the last nights and that disaster waits in the near future for the entire world. Those base things aside, the Garou organize themselves in tribes, much like the kindred clans they are all unique with different tactics, attitudes, and preferences. However, most clans are able to get along and put aside their differences these nights to defend their cairns, ancient and powerful regions of the Wyld and Gaia’s power that the Wyrm wishes to corrupt. They have 5 forms they can shift between and their are 3 forms that werewolves can start in referred to as homid (human born), lupus (wolf born), and lastly metis (werewolf born, these are looked down upon and are almost always born with curses and mutations not in their favor). Garou’s are incredibly resilient, often healing any damage dealt to them outside of silver, fire, and other supernatural creatures. I would end this here, but I realize I have neglected to specify what makes Garou so spiritual, and that would be there affinity with something known as the Umbra, a spiritual world that affects this one, many creatures reside within, some good, others quite ruinous, the Garou are the defenders of their cairns not just in this world, but in the Umbra. This has been brief and quite a poor description but it should sort out some basics, if you wish for better resources, the Gentleman Gamer has a series where he did an episode on each tribe, and Brett McGowan is a RU-vidr I watched early in my discovery into world of darkness who does have a video on the basics of Werewolf the apocalypse, the Ttrpg for werewolves in world of darkness.

Werewolves in this setting are far more metaphysical and spiritual rather than supernatural. They are also born as werewolves. There's no "werewolf curse."

I did love the character of daedalus the nostfaratu though.

@@russellwilliams9437 Yes a vampire with a heart is unique, but he is still too clean

@Coldest of nights 56 thanks

fortitude allows you to strengthen your mind as well as your body, though just making your body stronger is more common resisting control is a power many will use.

@@theashspawn Which book says that

In the core V5 book the first level power "Unswayable Mind" it allows you to add your fortitude dots to resist any attempt you persuade you both natural and supernatural. Even stating that it works on resisting Dominate and Presence.

The reason i tell the story of Canarl is not as a retelling of cain's myth but a different 1st generation kindred all togeather. A first generation that was in himself a Gangrel. As where his 3 childer of the 2nd (of which one also called themself odin) and the many 3rd gens that came after. This does contradict Cainite myth and thats because it is actually a myth. some of it is true and alot of it was later indoctrination and the gangrel are one of the 3 clans that are known to be later indoctrinated. you are right about the 4th gen that calls himself odin (Odin the all-high) and hes the only one of them who is still around and a very imporatant character (might do a video on him one day)

​@theashspawn really relieved to hear a lore channel actually highlight the fact that Noddist indoctrination is actually just as much a myth as any religious indoctrination of the kine. One likely designed by someone of the talents of "Set" himself. The true sources of history we are taught and the truth of history itself lies in the ever enticing and exciting unknown. It is almost as if the world is ripe for all kinds of stories to be created and told within it.

No werewolves are about the natural, Gangrel are still unnatural they're just highly attuned to the beast
