	They essentially pulled what the [[White Howlers]] did centuries ago (albeit with much greater planning and better results), charging into the colony and enacting a great rite as they did so. The exactly details are spotty, but by the time the dust settled, Eater-of-Souls had fucked off back into the Deep Umbra to lick its wounds and resume stewing in its own hunger, pretty much saving the Americas and probably the rest of the world from being eaten by a hangry dragon. However, it came at horrific cost: the Croatan were completely wiped out (souls, bodies, and all) to the point where their Kinfolk can no longer bear Garou children, their fetishes were rendered inert or defunct, and their totem (Turtle) fell into a deep coma.

Ironically, the Croatan themselves were trying to play nice with the Europeans and promote unity, as per the original Croatan tribe accepting white refugees from the lost colony who married into the tribe, and some Europeans participated in the great ritual that drove off the Eater of Souls.

	Simply put, the [[wikipedia:Columbian_Exchange\|Columbian Exchange]] brought [[Nurgle\|a horrendous number of diseases (smallpox, measles, whooping cough, bubonic plague, typhus, and the like) with it]]. Since the indigenous peoples lacked any resistance to this, things swiftly went to hell as countless numbers of Native Americans caught these new sicknesses and began to die faster than a [[Vampire]] in sunlight; this included a number of Croatan Kinfolk and maybe even some of the Garou.

The damage was compounded further as the European settlers (Garou and otherwise) began to colonise their lands, sometimes by force and almost always to the disadvantage of the natives.
