Stourbridge Lion
The Stourbridge Lion is a Totem of Respect.
Overview
Though the Glass Walkers have largely fallen out of Stourbridge Lion’s favor, he’s never fallen out of the Glass Walkers’. Occasionally a pack impresses him enough that he agrees to take them on as his own children.
Stourbridge Lion first became known to the tribe when the locomotive of the same name was tested in 1829. He appeared to the gathered Garou as a massive lion made from bolts, steel, and steam, and that is still the form he most commonly takes today. Occasionally, he appears as a massive train, and still other times as a rugged Wild West surveyor. As a bringer of food and water, he is a Totem of Respect, a fact bolstered by his aid to other tribes during the Wild West period. That he has overcome enough of the other tribes’ fear of technology to be respected is a testament to his power.
