Setting
The Fianna are known for being the most passionate of the Garou Tribes of the Nation: they drink heavily, party hard, and have the most wild nature of all them, save the lost tribe White Howlers whom they share kinfolk with, the Picts. The Fianna are also skilled crafters whether it is brewing ales or spirits, making weapons, or instruments a Fianna crafter is often the best at what they do; few human artisans can come close to the works that the Fianna have made in all areas of crafting.

They are also closely tied to the Uktena, in the modern day, sharing a Caern with the Tribe. As such the Fianna, while wild and furious in comparison, are staunch allies of the friends and allies they make. Many Uktena and Fianna packs exist in North America, and they work well together, the passion the Fianna bring to the table with the wisdom of the Uktena tends to create a combination for success in their endeavors to stop the wyrm in its tracks. You might not expect it, given the two tribes are opposed politically, but the Fianna will work with anybody after they get to know them well enough, and how else would you expect the Fianna to get to know anyone? Over a strong drink of course.

White Howler Connections
The White Howlers are long gone, and their Totem has vanished into the deep Umbra. Though none know where Lion went the Fianna still have close ties to the former tribe both in the stories of the past and their shared kinfolk of the Picts. While many of these kinfolk were dragged into servitude and corruption by the Black Spiral Dancers, those that were not were absorbed fully into the Fianna Tribe. Thus some Fianna are even more passionate than others, and tend to live life to its fullest, as if every day is their last day. Many Ahroun of the tribe fight like their lives depend on it, because more often than not it does and this burden weighs heavy upon them.

Harano
While all Fianna are usually party animals with passions that are as wide as the world is large, they also suffer from Harano worse than others. They feel it in their soul worse than any other tribe. This means the tribe’s Galliards and Theurges have to be on top of it, and they usually are. While they suffer from it more than any other tribe, and the curse was brought on by the Fae, they still party like no other tribe does. A Fianna Moot is an event that one should experience at least once.

Fae Connections
The Fae cursed the tribe, but the battles the Fianna fought alongside the Seelie and Unseelie courts are well known among both the tribe and the Fae who are versed in their history. Two things keep the Fae from seeking them out as allies again: first the failed marriage of Bron and the Princess of the Changelings that caused the curse in the first place - as a broken oath is taken very seriously by the changelings - and the retreat from battles long ago that strained their alliances many generations back.
