Today, the Pure run the show in The Reach. Around the turn of the 20th century, their little gains on the Forsaken suddenly became massive ones, sometimes for reasons no one quite understood. The Anshega pushed the Forsaken back time after time, undercutting and finally eliminating the position of dominance the Forsaken had held for centuries. The Forsaken have lost so much ground that they remain clinging to a toehold in the northeast of The Reach – and little else.
The Pure now occupy most of the Reach and have divvied it up into separate areas. The Fire-Touched hold an island just of the coast, viewing it as a holy ground that some believe (wrongly, perhaps) has some significance dating back to the plagues of the 17th and 18th centuries. The Predator Kings remain on the city's outskirts and beyond, while the Ivory Claws have claimed the main drag of Dunlin's Reach as their own, securing positions for themselves among the old money elite that hold sway over The Reach.
This is the situation as it stands for the werewolves, circa 2010. You asked about history? Well, there you go. The next chapter's all yours, if you're really foolish enough to go there. Yes, that's right, I said foolish. That's Pure territory now. If you want to pick a fight, pick one you can win. That's not it. I know. Trust me, I know. I learned the hard way.
