Werewolf: The Wild West

Common Jargon

These words are commonly used by native and immigrant werewolves alike.

Slang

These terms are in favor with young Garou, who prefer "plain speech" to fancy formality. Elders typically look on such as disrespectful.

Old Form

These terms were spoken in the oldest days and are kept alive by lorekeepers; most display a distinct Fianna turn of phrase. Werewolves use this "fancy-speak" only infrequently, but virtually all know these words and their definitions.

Dark Ages

These are terms found in Werewolf: The Dark Ages and the Dark Ages: Werewolf Rulebook.
