Laws of the Wild Revised Edition (limited)
Laws of the Wild Revised Edition (limited) is an updated rulebook for the Mind's Eye Theatre version of Werewolf: The Apocalypse.
Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
Apocalypse Ascends...
From the shrinking wild places to the sprawling cities, the signs are everywhere - the coming of Apocalypse is certainty. Gaia needs Her warriors more than ever these days. But the Garou Nation is beset on all sides - from the Wyrm's many minions, the Weaver's machinations, the slow decimation of the wilderness, and perhaps even from within.
But Not Without a Fight!
Laws of the Wild Revised is the revised and updated rulebook for playing the Garou in live-action. Based on Werewolf: The Apocalypse Revised, this book carries the new material and the advanced storyline. Everything a player needs to learn the basics of the Werewolf setting, create a character and begin playing is contained within.
Hear Gaia's battle-cry - Assemble the Heroes!

Background Information
This limited edition hardbound book featured a brown leatherette cover with gold stamping, a foil bookmark, and eight pages of additional fiction.
One of the pages uses the Theban Magical Alphabet, which the cracked message reads:
"Ye Foretold Talon Shall Stand Revealed In The Plains Of Tearing Ire. END."
Another page has drawings and notes connecting each other, a lot of the smaller cursive writing is hard to make out:
- (Unbelievable. Writlish is only marginally better.)
- Star above an eye
- Stragazer glyph (Another connection surely links this to the Defiler's Eye) (Weeping one dies defending the caern?)
- Ronin Eternus (land of pack?) (- - of - - with -)
- 13th Birth (Carries it even now)
- The Talon (Thule?)
- Dragon's Scourge (-'s -?) (- that she is - - -)
- TSMR Key for Mahsstrac, the Urge of Power and The Green Dragon
- Gate of Trinity (Timetable recorded - - - at least....most probable is Night of Dog)
- Perfect Herald (-?)
- King of Enemies (-)
Another type of code used on the last page is the Celestial Alphabet, which is just turned upside down. The following messages have another step required to decode them:
- "ERAM" you well the time draws near. The signs the skies
- By the Words of our father: "S(I/J)MR(I/J)(U/V)"
- In the name of his servants: "N(I/J)XL(O/Q)M
- By your own name: "HESCNAR(U/V)"
