The Fianna Tribebook is the first tribebook regarding the Fianna, werewolves from Ireland.
Summary[]
What are the Three Treasures of the Fianna?
The secrets of songs that we sing,
The secrets of brews that we make,
The secrets of Fey we call Kin.
What are the Three Fires of the Fianna?
The fire in the head that inspires,
The fire under cauldron that brews,
The fire of moot that renews.
What are the Three Dooms from Inside?
The Rage that leaps out at brother and Kin,
The Harano that chokes us all from within,
The thing that is born when Garou join in sin.
From the gleam of the brow,
Through the wood on the hill,
By the airs of the glens,
And the Land of the Young,
We'll carry the tune.
And we'll sing to the moon
Towards the final ground
When the days of our race
Will end with the sun.
