The Uktena and Wendigo refer to the European tribes as the Wyrmcomers, as they unknowingly brought Eater-of-Souls with them when they came to the Americas. Eater-of-Souls was only banished back to Malfeas by the sacrifice of the entire Croatan tribe. The 11 non-American tribes also took over many caerns that once belonged to the Uktena, Wendigo, and Croatan. While some were vacant because of the Croatan's sacrifice, many more were taken over by the European tribes because they were hungry for places of power. They fought with the native Garou and won through superior numbers.
