It may surprise, but there was once a Garou King in Kuldra's Tower. Kuldra, perhaps fearful of a mutiny (or having to kill everyone who mutinied, diminishing her forces), allowed the various troops to keep their customs. That included the Rite of the Moon, where garou would challenge each other for the privilege of becoming the King. Her initial belief was that, if the garou were content on challenging each other rather than her, then it would be the best for all involved.
That ended with King Rí Túath. Rí Túath had delusions of something beyond grandeur. He claimed to have been visited by Lougrim, who had crawled out of Kuldra's gullet while she was sleeping. According to Rí Túath, Lougrim was a prisoner in the belly of Kuldra, and it was the job of the Garou to recover her. He led a contingent of garou against a sleeping Kuldra, and carved into her skin with a rune greataxe.
