Shadow Lords Tribebook is a supplement published by White Wolf Publishing in 1995 for the modern-day horror role-playing game Werewolf: The Apocalypse. Shadow Lords Tribebook, a softcover book written by Brian Campbell and illustrated by Andrew Bates, Mike Chaney, James Daly, Matthew Milberger, Steve Prescott, Alex Sheikman, and Dan Smith, is one of thirteen "Tribebooks"; each one describes one of the werewolf tribes.[1] This book details the history and culture of the tribe known as the Shadow Lords. In three chapters and three appendices, it explores their reputation and status around the world, their most famous members and game statistics for their unique abilities.[2]
Chapter 1: their history
Chapter 2: tribal politics and their social order
Chapter 3: their relationships and interactions with the other twelve tribes
Appendix A: peculiarities of the tribe
Appendix B: archetypes of characters within the tribe
Appendix C: notable personalities who were members of this tribe, including Rasputin
The book includes a blank character sheet.[1] In the July 1996 edition of Arcane, Mark Barter gave this book a thumbs up and an above average rating of 8 out of 10 and saying, "Recommended for all referees who either have a Shadow Lord player in their group, or intend to bring the tribe into their games in some way, and especially for players of Shadow Lord characters."[2]

This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: The full suite of books have now been released. Please help update this section to reflect recent events or newly available information. Last update: November 2014(May 2018)
As of 2011 White Wolf Publishing started to publish new material for the cWoD. These books are available only as Print on Demand or limited-run deluxe editions, therefore they lack ISBN.
During GenCon 2012 it was announced that Onyx Path Publishing has the license to publish table-top RPG material for all classic World of Darkness lines. They will produce the titles previously announced by White Wolf.
Note: Breathe Deeply and The Silver Crown were marketed under the Rage-Logo. Note: Breathe Deeply makes use of the Amazonas setting, as detailed in the game supplement Rage across the Amazon (1993; ISBN1-56504-061-9). Note: Call to Battle was intended as first of a series about the main character (as written on the cover), but no follow-up was published. The book also makes use of material from the game line Mage: The Ascension. Note: The Tribe Novel Series refers to the content of The Silver Crown, while The Last Battle refers to the content of the Tribe Novel Series. Many of the main characters in those novels are considered signature characters of the game line.
Originally announced as part of W20 Kickstarter as "Houses of the Moon"[4]
