Cubs

==Garou Cubs In Bandaiyan==
In the Garou Nation, a Garou is considered Trueborn or a werewolf from birth, but they do not have their First Change until puberty and are not considered actual members of the Nation until they've completed a Rite of Passage and been acknowledged by a tribal totem. Cubs are considered the last hope of the Nation and sought out, protected, typically mentored or tested by older Garou. Each tribe and sept has its own customs regarding how to foster cubs, some less human or transparent than others. Its uncommon for a cub to have contact with the spirits and they are not taught gifts or rites - those come after a successful rite of passage. Lost Cubs, Garou who aren't recovered in time, never develop a healthy relationship with the Umbrood and often go insane, becoming corrupt and insane lunatics.
When the Red Star burst into the Aetherial Sky in 1999, it heralded the end of Trueborn into Bandaiyan. Garou cubs born before July 15th, 1999 continue to have their First Change but kin-fetches have been unable to locate any younger cubs. Some theurges believe that should Anthelios be driven out of the Aetherial realm or destroyed, Luna will reward the Nation with a new generation of Garou.
