Brief, bite-sized lore videos on World of Darkness, new episode every Tuesday
You died. That should have been the end of it, but it wasn't. You have woken up in the Shadowlands, a world painfully close, yet impossibly far away from the Skinlands, the world you inhabited as a mortal. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
Demons are Fallen angels. This we know. They revolted against the creator and for their hubris they were cast down into Hell. Stripped of their divinity, sentenced to torment and to torment, they have represented evil for countless generations amongst humans. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
In this video we will return to the Vampires' World of Darkness and trace the origin of several mythical artifacts of Legends. From the Sword of Dracula to the Eye of Hazimel, these are all items of legendary power and evil that is spoken of in hushed tones over glasses of blood in Elysia across the world. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
We are shown the horrors of the Second War of Rage committed against the Fera native to the Americas, the struggle against the Brujah, and then Baba Yaga, of Russia, and some of the Shadow Lord's mentality and outlook on life. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
The Shadow Lords may care less about appearances and pride than the Silver Fangs do, they still have their crosses to bear. Were it not for their involvement, it's quite likely that Vlad Tepes never would have become the legendary vampire that he is tonight, and it is a burden they must always carry. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
Now, with the Silver Fangs failing in their task of leading the Garou Nation, will the Shadow Lords step out of the shadows and claim the mantle of leadership, or will they watch as the rest of the werewolves fall upon each other in conflicts of ideologies and beliefs? ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
Finally, we would be remiss not to talk about the Umbral landscape of the city. In this video, we will discuss how the Umbra, the spirit realm, is affected, and in turn affects, the physical world of a city. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
City Garou, or "Urrah", are often spoken of with scorn by their more rural relatives, but as the cities grow ever more plentiful and bigger, it is becoming increasingly apparent that ignoring the cities will leave the Garou at a massive disadvantage.
It is no secret that the werewolves, with some exceptions, shun the city, for it is anathema to their nature. Yet as the world speeds towards the Apocalypse, more and more of them begin to realize that it is in the Concrete Jungle where the final conflict will be held. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
Chews-on-Fur once more sits down with Once-Felled to learn about the more modern history of his tribe, as well as some of its cultural aspects. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
Jason "Son" Newberry is quite possibly one of the most twisted and evil Kindred in the city of Chicago, and that says a lot. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
The City of Washington DC is the Capital of the most powerful country in the world, and a literal magnet for the Nightfolk who wish to rule over the mortals and each other. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
Not much is known about the Justicar for Unlife Lucinde, the former Archon and Red Alastor who has made it the cause of her undead life to track down the vampires on the Red List and bring them to justice.

The Ultimate Badass of the World of Darkness, Sam Haight, is a name spoken with reverence around the world. This man not only overcame the will of Gaia herself and turned himself into a Garou, he also managed to become a powerful Ghoul, Hedge-wizard turned Mage and an Ashtray while doing so!

Dr Douglas Netchurch is one of the most prominent scholars of Vampire physiology in the World of Darkness. Through meticulous, empirical research, this Malkavian scientist has uncovered more about the vampiric condition in a few lifetimes than others have spent centuries to learn.

Once-Felled will continue her fireside talk with Chews-on-Fur, elaborating on their tribe's connection to humanity, their brief stint on the continent that would become the Americas, as well as their somewhat troubled relationship with the Glasswalkers and Silverfangs who operated out of Rome. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
The Get of Fenris are by no means Gaia's most innocent children. Violent, bloodthirsty and honor-bond with a short fuse and a silver axe close at hand. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
The Kinfolk are those few humans and wolves who are born with the ability to not be affected by the delirium, and who also have a higher chance of producing Garou children. It is a difficult term to define, because there is no "Werewolf gene" that can quantify Kinfolk, and Kinfolk may spring up from Non-Kinfolk occasionally, meaning that the opposite is true as well. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
Justice works differently among the Garou, and for a good reason. They are an army constantly at war, and their laws and rules need to reflect that. The Litany may have very few tenets, but those are all considered crucial in the Garou society. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
We will take a step back now and learn more about the Litany, the Codified Laws of the Garou Nation. We will cover the first half of the Litany here, as well as discuss why the need for them arose, and under what circumstances they matter the most. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
We have followed Raya in becoming a Black Spiral Dancer, but what else can we learn about them? In this episode, I will be taking a step back and observe the Dancers from a distance and we will learn more about their history, their culture, their relationship with the Wyrm and the other Garou. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
The Black Spiral Dancers are the twisted, corrupt reflection of the Garou. Once proud warriors of Gaia, they have forsaken the Earth mother in order service the Wyrm, believing that the complete and utter destruction of either the Weaver's creation, or even Gaia herself, is what is needed to restore balance. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★

In this episode of Werewolf lore, we will follow Chews-on-Fur, Shatterglass and La'ika as they take the final steps to becoming true Garou together in what is known as the Rite of Passage. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
This session Huddy unfortunately could not join us, but we keep her in mind as we talk about the fourth clan novel of the series, Setites! Known as Ministry these nights. This story follows Hesha Ruhadze as he tries to track down the Eye of Hazimel, all the while wooing a mortal woman who gives him conflicted feelings. What will happen!? ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
The denizens of the Umbra are spirits and they come in a myriad of shapes, sizes and dispositions. In this video we will talk about the hierarchy of the Spirits as well as their relationships, what Garou may hope to learn from befriending them and what, contrariwise, these spirits may ask of them. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
We don't know much about these foes aside from what we can learn in the core rulebook, but what we find there will chill us to the bone. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
The Wyrm has many agents who do its will, but few are as organized, tenacious, and insidious as Pentex, the conglomerate of dozens, if not hundreds of subsidiaries working in unison to destroy Gaia and its protectors. They do this through cutthroat business mergers, ruthless monopolies and underpriced alternatives in every branch of consumerism. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
We will return once more to Werewolf: the Apocalypse, this time delving deeper into the Umbra, the Velvet Shadow, the Spirit realm of the World of Darkness where Garou, the Werewolves, may commune with their mighty totems, their ancestors, or even manifestations of the Triat themselves. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
Having learned the stories of Caine and his tutor Lilith, it is time we look upon their worshippers; the Bahari are the children of Lilith, who seek to emulate the Dark Mother's suffering and wisdom achieved through it, while the Church of Caine is a deeply hidden cult who worship Caine as a Messianic figure intended to bring this false prison of a World to an end. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
Hesha Ruhadze is a two-faced snake who will put on any face, any mask he needs to get what he wants. He is an amicable businessman, a perfect gentleman, and a ruthless monster. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
Let us go back to the very birth of the Cainites. We shall read together the Book of Nod, fabled Book of Nod, collated by Aristotle deLaurent and his disciple Beckett, and learn of the first murder, Caine's banishment to Nod, his relationship to the mysterious Lilith, and more. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
The Red List is the Hitlist of the Camarilla. The Kindred on it are some of the most feared and/or hated within their society. Those added to this list have a permanent blood hunt put upon them and thus will never know peace until they are either dead, or the hunt is lifted. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
Around the turn of the millenia a Red Star was sighted in the sky. A comet, and ill omen, that many interpreted as a sign of the coming End times. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
With the events of the Baali wars, the Anarch Revolt and the Formation of the Camarilla behind us, it is time to discuss the more modern history of the Banu Haqim, the recent events that drove a large group of them to seek shelter within the Camarilla. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
We have learned the history of the Banu Haqim and their struggle against the Baali, yet there is still much more to unravel. What are their relationships to the Salubri, why did Haqim leave his Childer, and what role did they play in the war against the elders during the Anarch Revolt? ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
The Banu Haqim, known in the west sometiimes by their disparaging nickname of "Assamites", are the heirs of Haqim, the Judge of all Cainites. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★

There are more Changing breeds than the Garou in the World of Darkness. Rokea, the Weresharks, and Mokolé, the Weresaurians, are some of the oldest creatures on this planet, and they have existed since long before Caine slew his brother, or the gates of Arcadia closed to the Fae. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
As a refreshing change of pace, we will dig into the story of Ramona, the Signature Gangrel of Revised edition, as she learns more about her nature as an undead. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★

Can a Vampire achieve salvation? Can their soul be saved? Some whisper of Golconda, of a mystical state of existance where the Curse of Caine is lessened almost to a point of them becoming mortal again. ★ https://www.patreon.com/theprimogen ★ ★ https://twitter.com/ThePrimogen ★ ★ https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrimogen ★
