[edit] History

Long ago, the Black Spiral Dancers were the White Howlers, a noble tribe from Scotland akin to the Fianna. They were tricked and corrupted by the Wyrm into the foul, vicious things they are today.

[edit] Organization

[edit] Tribal Culture

The Dancers have lived underground among horrors for ages, and all are quite insane; however, the Wyrm has given its slaves terrible powers of their own, as well as a violent hatred for the Garou.

Black Spiral Dancers roughly resemble other Garou; however, many of them are malformed, either through metis birth or close proximinty to the radioactive balefires of the Wyrm. The heads of their Crinos forms are often huge and slaver-jawed, resembling a hyena's, while their ears are hairless and pointed like a bat's. Their eyes are huge and round, glowing with red or green luminescence, while their fur is patchy and usually either albino-white or grayish-green. Black Spirals' human forms are usually twisted and deformed, but some are quite beautiful.

[edit] Religious Culture

The Dancers' totem is Whippoorwill, whose mad call the Dancers emit during their hunts. They name themselves after a mysterious Labyrinth that exists in the realm of the Wyrm; they are said to "dance" this Black Spiral to gain dark powers and wisdom. Indeed, to dance the Black Spiral and survive is considered by the Black Spiral Dancers to be the most sacred of feats.
