16th Century CE – Britain and Ireland
After a devastating war of rage and claws, the remaining packs of fera and garou are scattered and broken. Only with the aid from Edward Stafford, third Duke of Buckingham, also a Silver Fang, is the conflict finally ended and a peace of sorts, established to protect those that remain. Even Garou from very far off lands are granted safety in the lands held by the Duke. Now if only he can hold this position, with all the many issues with Henry the 8th, do the FERA of the Briton’s have a chance.

Garou and Fera in the Dark Ages (DragonCon 2019/2021)
The historical setting for our games starts in the 1060’s CE, a time of great change and the end of the Viking Age. No true organization of tribes exists like in the Dark Medieval period to come and all that follows. Many powerful and terrifying Beasts still move about and influence the people. Elders like George the Mokolé, Wendol the Guarahl, and Hod Odinson, the Fenrir. Though the elders are out there, they do little to affect the day to day life of a werebeast.
With that the players in our Eventide in Albion, World of Darkness LARPs have a range of Tribes to choose from. In the medieval gameplay the clans are as follows, Garou tribes of Black Furies, Bone Gnawers, Children of Gaia, Fenrir, Fianna, Shadow Lords, and the Warders of Men, Silver Fangs, Silent Striders, and Stargazers. As well as the Fera types of Corax, Ratkin, Kitsune (Irish) and Tecolotes (Owl). The Rare Playable are Storyteller approval and are Bastet, Gurahl, Rokea (H), Red Talons (L), Camazotz, Grondr, and Naga, for the cost upgrade of as they are far less in number if our game settings. The Restricted Playable Tribes are even more rare of Ajaba, Ananasi, Apis, Mokole, and Lutrinae (Otter) and in most games, no more than one can be played at a time unless a parent and child pairing is the reason. The Restricted playable but have to be written into the game story to explain why they are in storyline…
The rest of the changing breeds or werebeasts are not possible in the historical Sunrise to Sunset Games until the in game time is past 1480 CE.
