The Litany as Believed and Lived by the Get of Fenris and Lan Man Dragon
Lan Man Dragon steps out of his cabin, after spending some time
with his wife and children. He has in his hands, several copies of a
document that is sealed and protected within a plastic document
protector. The Alpha of the Sept of the Twilight Dawn shall nail down
to the front wall of the Elders Hall by its door, this document.
Also, strategically placed, and nailed down in every other key
location that has the most daily traffic of the people of the Caern,
shall Lan Man Dragon nail down this document. The Document reads::
I am Lan Man Dragon, Athro Ahroun of the Get of Fenris, and Alpha
of the Sept of the Twilight Dawn here in the River Caern. There have
been several litany breaches among the people of the Caern. I know
that this is NOT a Get of Fenris Sept, however, I shall give to
everyone my own beliefs in the Litany, reinforcing to everyone whom
may not know, how I was raised and trained in the Garou Nation.
The Litany According to the Get of Fenris
The Litany was developed to establish stability among the tribes. This
is a good thing. However, there are many ways in which the words of
the Litany are misunderstood. Some other tribes have different ways of
handling The Litany, as is their right. The Get of Fenris try to make
certain that the rules are followed carefully, and that there is a
means by which a Garou may attempt to prove his innocence, should he
be wrongly accused.
Do not litter your own den, especially in such a vulgar way. There are
enough metis already, but worse still, you bring shame upon our tribe
by showing that you cannot control your lust.
Despite what others believe, we do not take liberties with the weaker
female Garou we conquer. There is no honor in such actions, only
degradation to both parties. One Black Fury claimed that she had been
raped by a Get, and when her claim was proved, she was permitted to
take from the rapist the offending weapon. Do not attempt to find
loopholes within the Litany.
The standard punishment for breaching this part of the Litany is to
raise the child and teach him or her the ways of the Get. You must
care for your children in all cases, for even a metis have the right
to a family. If you choose not to care for your child, or if your
child should accidently come to harm, then you must dispose of the
evidence in the old ways. You must consume the flesh of your
offspring, allowing the child to live within you forever. That is the
formal punishment for mating with your own family and causing harm to
your own flesh.
Do not suffer a Wyrmling to live. Every creature that is touched by
the Wyrm has the potential to create more like itself. Destroy them.
If you find a nest of Wyrmlings, make certain the creatures and their
nest are destroyed. Cleanse the land of the Wyrm's foul taint, or find
someone who can. Never flee from a Wyrmling, no matter how powerful.
Better to die a hero than to live a coward, for Fenris does not
forgive. Nor do his Get.
If you find a place that suits your needs, and that you can defeat the
owner of this territory in a rightful combat, then, and only then, may
you claim the land as your own. These challenges must be made
publicly, and should your opponent refuse you the right of challenge,
you may not retaliate. We do not want only kill our own kind over a
few feet of land. We must not waste the blood of the other Garou.
If your opponent has called for first blood, you may let him live. If
he has called you for a life-duel, you are honor bound to kill him,
regardless of his pleas. This is our way. Know also that honorable
surrender is impossible for those without honor. Kill all Wyrmlings,
even if formally challenged. In wartime, and against the Wyrm's
minions, this rule does not hold.
Never question a war leader's commands. Never insult those of higher
rank, unless you are willing to suffer the consequences.
Give the elders their due, or they will kill you. Do not take this
lightly. It has been known that pups have been torn limb from limb for
their stupidity.
The blood-lust is great within the Get of Fenris, and this may be
overlooked from time to time. Do not, however, leave any sign of human
consumption.
All are beneath us. Do not play with your food, and do not kill
without just reason. You may test other Garou, for that is one part of
our duty, but you must not insult the other tribes without justifiable
provocation. Do not falsely accuse another of a crime; this is not the
honorable way to provoke confrontation. You may certainly challenge
the heritage of another, butknow the facts before you make a challenge.
If the humans see you change, you must stalk them and destroy them.
You must leave no evidence. Be aware of your surroundings, and avoid
changing shapes in public places. If the Crinos is your only resort,
make certain that any witnesses never have the chance to speak of the
matter.
There are three honorable ways in which to grow old. You may barter
with pups for food and care in exchange for wisdom. You may challenge
your Jarl, knowing that you cannot win, and pray that he is merciful.
You may fight the Wyrm until you fall in battle. Suicide is not
acceptable, and brings dishonor to you and your tribe.
You may only challenge for leadership during formal moots. You may
challenge for renown at any time of peace.
Unless your leader is grossly incompetent, and you can prove the
accusation, do not argue during war or combat. Obey this rule at all
times.
There is no forgiveness. You will be destroyed. Your name will be
unsung, and your deeds shall be unremembered. Your kinfolk will know
only shame.
The Get of Fenris are the followers of Fenris. We do not turn away
from a fight. Ever. If a Garou insults your heritage and the insult is
not just, rip flesh and drink deep of your enemy's blood. That is our
way. But never turn from the true enemy to settle an insult argument -
if the Wyrm is near, kill the Wyrmling first, and then destroy the
bastard who insulted you.
