For thousands of years¸ the Bastet have stealthfully pursued their double purpose: discover all the secrets they can hoard and weed out those that threaten to destroy Gaia¸ the sister of their mother¸ Lune. The wolves and the cats fought side-by-side for an eon until the great betrayal¸ when the wolves turned against their brethren and tried to exterminate the Bastet. All this was long ago¸ but the Bastet have long memories...
The first of the Changing Breeds books¸ Bastet covers the world of the secretive werecats. Expanding on (and occasionally completely throwing out) the source material contained in the Werewolf Player's Guide¸ the book finally makes a real distinction between each of Nine Tribes of the Bastet. Now¸ instead of just being an add-on to the Werewolf: the Apocalypse system and a 'modification' of a werewolf character¸ Bastet makes the werecats special characters in their own right.
The Shadow Children walk the twilight days unafraid¸
For none may rival them in their sleek majesty.
None can equal their ferocity:
The jungle trembles like smoke at our furious roars¸
The sun grants us strength to slay the rain¸
With a blow from our paws we shake the earth.
None can equal their honour:
The wisdom of forever rides behind our yellow eyes¸
Trails unfold before us in the shadow or Thunder's wings¸
We run the South Wind among the Stars.
None can equal their cunning:
The dead in the dark corners whisper secrets to us¸
We hide the names of things in mist-words and snow-speech¸
We dance madly in the most hidden of places.
I bow to Selene and Gaia; may our deeds nourish our beloved relatives.
Jaya!
