What is Forsaken?
The second Storytelling game set in the re-imagined World of Darkness, Werewolf: The Forsaken follows on the heels of the World of Darkness Rulebook and Vampire: The Requiem, bringing the same level of detail and excitement to furry beast-men as was brought to undead blood-suckers.
Just what is a werewolf, you ask? A man cursed to become a beast? A half-man, half-wolf hybrid? A hidden species among the human herd? A slavering predator? A primal creature with spiritual depths? How about all of the above?

< from the story of Pangea>
Father Wolf loved Mother Moon as she rode across the skies, and he was overcome with joy and love when he encountered her walking through the borderlands between the spirit world and the physical. He was not alone in either of these sentiments. For her part, Luna found Father Wolf to be valiant and wise, strong and handsome, and she loved him in return. They knew one another, and she gave him children of both spirit and flesh — the first werewolves. Although she wore a human body, Mother Moon gave birth to the first werewolves as a litter of nine pups, a sign of their future fate.

From Mother Moon our ancestors gained the power to change shape, just as she changes her own shape every month. From Father Wolf they gained senses, strength and speed that went beyond those of flesh-born wolves. From both parents they gained a measure of spiritual power, for Mother Moon was Queen of the Shadow Realm and Father Wolf was Lord of the Border Marches.

We were lords of the dawn world. Our great strength and our ability to take different forms allowed us to dominate any man or creature. Few predators could challenge us. No prey could resist us. Even the strongest mammoths and fiercest predators of that era were no match for a pack of werewolves. It was a dark time to be human, but it was our age of glory, a golden age painted with the bright blood of our prey.

Like every golden age, it was doomed.
