- Thank you to Yiodan, The Toering, Huddyvonschland, Idran and zero6ix who once again provided great feedback and help with the creation of this video.
Also, big thanks to RuffleJax for her help with sensitivity reading in this video.
The Black Spiral Dancers are the twisted, corrupt reflection of the Garou. Once proud warriors of Gaia, they have forsaken the Earth mother in order service the Wyrm, believing that the complete and utter destruction of either the Weaver's creation, or even Gaia herself, is what is needed to restore balance.
The Black Spiral Dancers are corrupt and evil and this story hopes to tell the circumstances under which someone might be swayed to join their cause. They are generally not recommended as player characters.
In the second video, we follow Raya as she's brought to the Hive of her new packmates, made to dance the black spiral after being told of her tribe's past and why they rage against the Garou, and finally she comes eye to eye with the Wyrm itself, her mind shattered from the experience.
Thank you for watching and, once again, if you find something that's wrong or missing, let me know in the comments!

It is my firm belief that the violence and punitive measures employed against the African-American community of the United States of America, and of people of color across the world, has caused untold damage, is unjust, disproportionate and should be condemned. George Floyd and so many more people murdered by law enforcement officers must have justice.
If you want to help support the movement for change, I strongly suggest you go to blacklivesmatt... to see what you can do to help and stand in solidarity with this movement.

I imagine the primogen neighbors been like "who da hell is raia ?"
Hahaha, I recorded this mid-day, but yeah I try not to shout too much... but considering how often the neighbours' kids are stomping around, I feel like it's fine if I get a bit loud every now and then. ;)
5:48 Blue paint, yep definitely a past point of her tribe at their prime also loving this narration.😆😆😆😆😆😇😄
Let us dance the spiral till we can dance no more!
Dance through the night until day!
2:11 His voice though😨😨😨, creepy serial killer style
I've been going through all the WtA lore videos of yours because my friend is going to basic training at the end of the month.
He asked as a sentimental gift since he and I share WoD lore together if I'd make a WtA sheet of himself. Its his all time favorite TRPG.
Me and our mutual buddies are gonna surprise him with a one shot as ourselves in a Pack.
Thanks for helping with us prep :)
I often wonder what it would be like to be a Ronin kinfolk who was supposed to be a black spiral dancer kinfolk.
Do the Ronin have kinfolk too? Yeah that must be messed up!
Your voice acting is so deliciously hammy- you were clearly having fun this and I did too!!
I've never played a Werewolf game, but I've played Vampire and a mixed game focused on the awakenings of antedeluvians at Y2K. These vids help with understanding what everyone else knew twenty-some years ago. Hindsight...
The story was awesome !
But will you do a overview of the dancers?
Thank you very much!
Indeed I will, the next scheduled episode will be a traditional lore video of them!
I've loved these two videos so much. I hope you do more like this.
Thank you so much! That's the plan for the other tribes as well, two story-videos and one pure lore video
7:01 so they entered Malpheous😨 the realm of the Wyrm😈.
Imagine meeting your pack and immediately getting assigned a deed name that equates to 'The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.'
Even though I've never played Werewolf your videos are a joy to watch.
Question: do you have a source for this lore or do you just make them up on your own? Because either way, you you are a great story teller.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
@@ThePrimogen Welcome!
What the fuck prim. You have covered stories before but nothing like this this is like a radioplay and actually had me gripped like i stopped what i was doing to listen if you wrote this its leagues above anything youve done before incredible video i may pick up the core rulebook of wta because of this
Yeah the story is pretty awesome. Truly shows how messed up the Spirals are.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It really was a great time writing this and I'm glad it paid off! I'll hopefully be making more of these in the future!
@@ThePrimogen :D
I love the stories.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed them! :)
My big issue with the official lore for BSDs is that they are a bit cartoonish in their evil tendencies. I get that they are the bad guys but a lot of the time it seems like evil for evils sake
I mean thats the wyrm itself no? Pentex is literally a evil megacorp thats objective is omnicidal.
15:23 even if it's daytime here in Africa my home it's still creepy and it got even more HORRIFYING.😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
Bravo Primogen!!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Good work on the Black Spiral Dancers on both parts 1 and 2 my friend. I feel sad and despised those Black Spiral Dancers because they were once the mighty White Howlers now they have become the malevolent Black Spiral Dancers. Worst of all, a civil war is broke out and dragging the last White Howler into the Black Spiral Labyrinth to their doom. They're nothing but mindless both abominations and parasites to the Wyrm. And if I were a dragon, I shall place a curse on both the Wyrm and the Black Spiral Dancers as monstrous dragon and werewolf hybrids by taking their corrupted forms out their dark hides and drowned by dragon blood and by leaving the White Howlers unconscious! But not just the Black Spiral Dancers other corrupted Fera that are corrupted by the Wyrm and soon they'll be dragonized forever! And I hope you've understand in my opinion.
Thank you so much!
Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you about this, I really appreciate your comments! Thanks!
Oh you are very welcome @@ThePrimogen. And many people love those hardcore mutants.
@@louiemercado5595 Yep, they're excellent foils for the Garou! :D
Wow man that was original ! Well done !
Thank you so much! I'm trying a different approach with the Werewolf tribes and I'm glad you liked it!
@@ThePrimogen Black Spiral Dancers are the tribe with the deepest spirituality, evil yes, nightmarish yes, but still deeper than most people dare to see. I also wonder if you will make a cover on the Chronicles of the Black Labyrinth, one the best books ever written, period.
Long term vampire fan, always found werewolf kinda meh but this story was epic, they make me think of chaos marines from 40k?
This is probably the wrong place to ask but do you know of anyone that has information on mage familiars
Moving on.😅
=D
Great story Prim, but where's my original comment?
Hi! Sorry for not getting to this until now, but I don't know where your previous comment might have gone, I don't recall seeing it?
@@ThePrimogen Maybe it must've been my imagination.
