Many fans have taken the frame work and expanded upon it to weave concepts, characters, and critters that were not represented in the canon material. The style and method of glyph designers tends to vary, making for a wonderful diversity of symbols; but even more delightful is seeing how certain concepts or themes resonate in the commonality of their expression.
This section includes custom glyphs for Tribes, including Factions, Streams, Varna, etc, and the Fallen of the Changing Breeds.
These are not official glyphs.
They are currently in categorical-alphabetical order, which is subject to change, evolve, and expand as more glyphs are added.
Text in "quotations" is the description or comments from the [custom glyph's designer].

Wyrm-Fallen
Wyrm-Fallen
"Meno Bovu (Swahili for 'Rotten Teeth') or Mfupa Rushwa (Swahili for 'Bone Corrupt'). Used the Bone, Teeth, and Wyrm glyphs. The normal Ajaba glyph shows the teeth breaking bone and the werehyenas would probably place great value on their bone-breaking teeth. So being unable to break bone would be seen as a bad thing. I also had to come up with a name/s for Ajaba under the Wyrm."

"Skull Pigs. Used Death, Pig/Grondr, and Wyrm Glyphs. Then added the ‘Skull’ part from the ‘Toxic Waste’ glyph next to the death glyph."
"The Purgers. (Name comes from MET: Book of the Wyrm.) Got rid of the Mend/Repair glyph that’s normally part of the Gurahl glyph. Added the Wyrm glyph, added claw marks to look like clawed arms, and some flame marks from the Bane glyph."
"Kuko (Air Fox). (Can be found in the Lexicon for Kitsune in the Hengeyokai book.) Used glyphs for Fox/Kitsune, Air, and Wyrm."
