The Protector's Caern

The Protector's Caern is a Silver Fang caern on Salisbury Plain, England during the Dark Ages.

Overview

The House of Austere Howl claimed this caern two hundred years ago from a moribund Fianna sept. The caern lies in a small copse, far from any human settlement, and half a day's walk from Stonehenge. The Silver Fangs claim that the Fianna were showing their weakness by allowing human mages to "rape Gaia's soul" with the use of Stonehenge's Gnosis for their magic.

The caern is divided by politics. A younger generation of Silver Fangs aims to take power for themselves. Simon du Austere Howl is the chieftain of the Silver Fangs of England and recognized as High King by other septs in mainland Europe (such as the sept of Sun's Glory in the Holy Roman Empire). Unfortunately, the Fianna and Fenrir factions ignore him totally. Simon is an old werewolf, and has hundreds of kills to his name. He has grown arrogant in his old age, and refuses diplomacy - an unfortunate weakness, because he is a capable leader who could easily turn the Garou of Britain into an effective, united force. Simon groomed the Irish-born Silver Fang Ahroun, John Fitzwilliam, as a possible successor (none of Simon's own children underwent the First Change, and he is long past his mating years), but in recent years Simon has doubted his choice. Having guided the younger leader's progress from afar for so long, Simon has now withdrawn his support for John Fitzwilliam, and Fitzwilliam is furious. While he still respects the old lord, he sees the leadership of the Protector's Caern and of the Silver Fangs of the Isles as his by right.
