![]() In Scandinavia, the methuselah known as Odin, the All-High, held the Nordic peoples in a tight grip and ruled as a corporeal god, sending them down to raid the civilizations he despised in order for his warriors to earn the right of the Embrace. Gangrel fought on both sides of the Punic Wars, although in the end, most flocked to the Ventrue. ![]() If there were any Gangrel in the city itself, they were likely attached to the people the Romans took as slaves. They had almost nothing to do with the development of the Roman Empire, though occasionally a Brittaniac, Gaulian, or Gothic Gangrel would nose around Rome in the hopes of catching a young neonate off-guard. The Gangrel shunned many of the civilizations of antiquity, instead roaming the woods and preying on tribal societies who regarded them as evil spirits that were meant to appease. Most among the Clan, however, do not know or care any longer about creation myths of their kind, instead focusing to survive in the present. Other stories tell that Ennoia was the mother of Romani and both the werewolves and the Gangrel descend from them. After a long series of battle, the Gangrel were driven into the West, in the civilizations of other Kindred. By battling Churka's get and the demonic giants that served him, they would do penance for the betrayal of their chieftains. After Ennoia, however, was betrayed by two of her lieutenants who left her, she and her army were driven to the East, where Ennoia left them on their own. The Gangrel of Scandinavia tell tales of the Einherjar and Canarl, who was cursed by Odin, while another popular myth was that Ennoia and her twin brother Churka were demigods that warred against each other, Ennoia with the most brave warriors and Churka with the most cunning, at night, so that the other gods would not learn of their feud. Although some Gangrel tell the myth of Caine and how Ennoia was cast out due to a betrayal of the Ravnos Antediluvian and forced to live with the beasts, there are many other tales. ![]() The disparate nature of the Outlanders and their mostly oral recorded histories make an exact depiction of their early history difficult, but it seems certain that the Gangrel were always wanderers, who followed nomadic tribes around, sleeping in the earth to escape the sun. There are many different approaches to the history of the Gangrel. They were one of the seven founding clans of the Camarilla, but became disillusioned with the sect in the Final Nights, its elders eventually deciding to sever its ties and become an independent clan. Nomads who hold closer ties to the wild places than most of their city-bound cousins, they are also closer to the animal aspect of the Beast, and are masters of the Protean Discipline.
