The mercurial European tribe of the Bastet, they were once thought of as having been destroyed in the fires of the late medieval inquisition.

Return to the Fera description

Check a list of Celican characters

### Tribal culture

Like most Bastet, the Ceilican live and act rather solitary, though they seem to put special significance on Celtic holidays such as Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine and Lughnasadh.

Originating from the north of the British Isles, they have spread throughout the world and often intermixed with various cultures the British have interacted with.

### Tidbits & trivia

* While the Ceilican are not among the most powerful of the Bastet, their unique gifts seem to give them an edge in the human world.
* Musical talent seems to be strangely common among the Ceilican

### Relations with other Shen

* Because of their tribal homeland, the Ceilican have long since had some interactions with the Fianna tribe of Garou, though the two don't intersect as often as one would think, since the Fianna tribe hail more from Ireland and the Ceilican hail more from Scotland.
	+ Presumably, they used to have some contact to the White Howlers before their fall.
* The Ceilican seem to have deep running ties to the Changelings of the British Isles and beyond
* Having been burned at the stake together with witches, it stands to reason that they have some connection to certain Traditions of Mages as well.

### Presumptions and conjectures

* Because of their place of origin, they might have some relation to the White Howlers
* Their tribe is on the mend and may one day regain its lost strength
* Their true cat kin is unknown, since their animal forms are too large for the Scottish wildcat and the European Lion has long since died out, which would have spelled doom for any Bastet claiming it as their animal.
	+ Some believe it is the Cat Sith, strange felines that sometimes emerge from the Dreaming.

###  Progress

* Takeda Inori was tasked by her lantern and brother to find a fitting target for this attack.
	+ She eventually settled on a Magadon, Incorporated packing plant that was known from their raid on Endron International
* Since it was fitting for her rank challenge, Takeda Inori was tasked with finding enough information and leading the Sentai to victory
* The guards on this compound were allowed to carry submachine guns and there were two sewer entrances one beneath the barracks and one beneath the main plant
* After starting a multitude of fires to keep the police from responding, the Sentai descended on the compound
* During the clearing of the barracks, Takeda Inori was seriously injured by the foreman who was in turn slain by Takeda Makoto
	+ This foreman was inhumanly strong and as resilient as a Garou
	+ He had a strange torture shop set up near the sewer entrance
* While attacking the main facility, the Sentai found half a dozen other tough beings, not nearly as strong as the foreman, but still immune to the Delirium.
* Each of these individuals had a tattoo of the Tau Upsilon Phi fraternity
* Firestarter found a multitude of Yurei in their cauls and was able to speak to one of them, realizing the horror that had happened here.

### Presumptions and conjectures

* They have tried creating fake Hengeyokai here

### Outcome

The thorough destruction of both buildings and the deaths of over fifty employees, the foreman and the members of the Tau Upsilon Phi fraternity were a great success. Someone or something had escaped through the second sewer exit though.
Dancing with the Storm

When Okimoto Katsuo challenged Eye of the Storm for the Iron rank, the charming Ragabash just laughed

> Seriously? You challenge *me*, despite never before speaking to me?
> Alrighty chuckles, I have an idea.
> You challenged someone of the Steel Rank for the Iron Rank, so you seem to prefer glory to wisdom.
> I, however wish to first ascertain your virtue, so steal a gift from each member of your Sentai without their knowledge and then find an appropriate apology for each of them.
> Yet, I also wish to test your Wisdom, so find an unknown foe and an unknown ally without letting your Sentai do most or even all of the work.
> Lastly, I want you pass on the glory you so often seem to seek, so lead your Sentai in finding and slaying one of the twin beasts of the centipede, utilizing each of their strengths in the process.
> What is a twin beast? You are an Eye of Gaia, figure it out.

Croatan tribe

One of the three tribes of Garou that once hailed from North America or, as they called it once, the Pure Lands.

### Relations with other Shen

* Similar to elder brother and younger brother, they had somewhat peaceful relations to the Fera of North America
* They sadly passed before they could ever join the Garou Nation

### Ultimate Fate

* The second of the remaining fifteen tribes to fall, the Croatan sacrificed themselvs to the last Garou to banish the Eater-of-Souls from this world.
	+ Most of what remained of their Kinfolk was taken in by the Uktena and Wendigo tribes
	+ Their sacrifice was so great, that not even their Ancestor Spirits remain

### Presumptions and conjectures

* There may be a way for them to return one day, as both their tribal totem and their bloodline are still extant
	+ This would take a monumental shift however and their numbers would be minuscule, as redeeming the entire tribe of the Black Spiral Dancers is flat out impossible

Eamon Dunsirn

## Background

Little is known about the origins of this seemingly simple bartender operating in the Duchy of the Last Obol in the Fiefs of Sin City. What little could be gathered from his rather blunt statements is that he was brought over from Ireland to serve his eventual sire as muscle during the day. Through years of service, he was eventually deemed worthy of embrace and turned into a Kindred. His bar, which he named Kick Off, on the other hand, was gifted to him by Salvador Pisanob because of his ruthless brutality when carrying out his tasks.
