Stargazers Tribebook

Stargazers Tribebook is a sourcebook for Werewolf: The Apocalypse.

Summary[]

O Gaia, compassion on these suffering beings
Who wander in Corruption, beset by fears,
Not knowing their own selves as the Gaia-born -
May all of them attain the Star Within!

O Gaia, compassion on these ignorant beings
Who wander in Webs, numb to life
Not knowing their own selves as the Moon-Blessed -
May all of them attain Liberation!

O Gaia, compassion on these delusional beings
Fooled by false Mind, addicted to illusion
Not knowing their own selves as the Element Master -
May all of them attain the True Gaia Realm!
