History
- The Forsaken
The first records of Uratha packs in Des Moines was a pack known as the Pack of Luna's Vengeance that arrived sometime around 1896 and settled into the Saylorville Lake area. They took care of the area for the next fifty years, integrating new members into the pack when needed to replace fallen comrades. The time from 1900 to 1970 was interspersed with small activity, such as the occasional shift in the Spirit Courts and the Forsaken packs were harassed occasionally by Balehounds, Pure, Magath, other Forsaken, other Supernaturals, Mortals on the hunt and anything in between. After the earthquake of 1965, with the city in turmoil, the Forsaken were hit with staggering issues in both the Hisil and the Real world. There was nothing really notable until about 1970 when a large pack of Rahu, called Red Hearts Revenge, entered the area and settled in. They held order in their territory in Des Moines until 1990 when they became belligerent and tried to eliminate the Wolf-blooded and Werewolves in the area, but they were met by a strange Alliance of Packs (Pure, Balehound, and Forsaken side by side against these crazed wolves), which left them in wastes and returned to their territories, during this struggle the Pack of Luna's Vengeance finally met its end, the Pack Totem from long ago still wanders, but where specifically is unknown. From 1990 to 2005 No pack held territory within Des Moines City Limits. All known Wolf-blooded fell back into the background, preferring to live their lives as opposed to becoming involved with the world.
- The Pure
The Pure have a tale, a tale that they’ve always been there, in the darkness always lurking, the ancestors they are, and they will always be, for the Spirits adore them…and not the servants of the Betrayer Bitch Queen. The Pure, mostly the Izidakh, claim that they were the first to live in the area known as Des Moines, living within the Wolf-blooded tribes of the Illinois, specifically the Moingwena, and the other neighboring tribes as well. Their story is passed down from generation to generation, and it is why they’ve always been, and why they were originally driven out.
Around 2004 several packs of Pure moved through Des Moines, and took up residence within Des Moines City limits and began to encroach on other cities around Des Moines. During this time there were a series of fatalities on the Pure Pack sides, some blamed Balehounds, but most blamed Forsaken that were hiding. These brutal insurgencies on the Pure eventually drove them out of Des Moines, swearing it off as infested.
The Pure during this time split off into their packs, their numbers too innumerable to count, and took up territories in and around the Des Moines area. The Pure that took up the territory of Saylorville Lake and Browns Woods mysteriously disappeared not too long after they took up their residence, and Saylorville Lake and Browns woods, to this day give off a very unsettling feeling that leaves anyone feeling empty.
- Rumors
There have been rumors and small sparse stories about Bale Hounds and their underhanded tactics of their kind in the area, rumored to live in areas that the Uratha dare not venture.
Although rarely bothered, there are several smaller packs of Uratha scattered in and around Des Moines, and lone wolves that have the ability to help if sought out.
There are rumors that a Russian Mafia Family, known as the Markova's, are in fact Wolf-blooded or Werewolves. Nothing has been proven, but they have been around for quite some time, and if they were, they'd hold sway over the city, both the Hisil and Real World. There are further rumors of another Werewolf Family owning the most prolific Occult Shop in Des Moines. And there are rumors of other Wolf Blooded or werewolves within the Police, and scattered in other areas.

The Baron of the Choir of Transporation. Subservient to the Choir of Business. Talkative as always, he knows and yet doesn’t know, on good terms with the choir of knowledge it is because of the Busman that the roads are there at all…or maybe it’s the other way around, who knows.
