The Silent Striders are a tribe of werewolves native to Egypt who have controlled the presence of Wyrm creatures in the land of Khemet since the Predynastic period. This book explains their struggle against the vampires of Egypt, both against the followers of Set and against the sons of Osiris. Because of this conflict, Set cursed the Striders and drove them out of Egypt, forcing them to be a wandering tribe ever since. But they have subsequently returned repeatedly to Egypt, mainly as watchmen on archaeological excavations, to prevent the spirits of the dead from being disturbed.
In addition to this general framework, the work references multiple Egyptian divinities, such as the crocodile Sobek, the scarab Khepri, and the Sphinx. The book is full of drawings inspired by ancient Egypt, featuring hieroglyphs, multiple depictions of werewolves with jackal-like features, weapons and objects inspired by Egyptian art, and even several Egyptian names for characters, such as Shu Heru.
In 2003, following the renewal process of the 3rd edition of the games Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf, in which all the game materials were updated, B. Armmor, E. Killey, and J. Killey rewrote the Silent Strider Tribebook as well.
This book is a new revised edition of the previous one published in 1996. Although the contents of both books are very similar, the 2003 version has a darker and more apocalyptic character as it focuses more on our present and deals with the apocalypse, or the final battle against all the forces of the Wyrm. Thus, a more detailed description of the characters, races, and events is available, or new ones are introduced. For example, the Mokolé, or Lizardmen, are a new race linked to the Egyptian deity Sobek, the Simba, or Lionmen, are assimilated to Sekmeth and, above all, the Bastet, or Catmen, appear for the first time, named after the Egyptian deity.
