Revision as of 16:55, 21 February 2012

A Caern is a site of great holy and mystical power to the Garou, with powerful totem spirits bound to it. Their worship of Gaia centers on these magickal regions, and usually their gatherings (Moots) take place at them. The group of all Garou who live at or near a given Caern is referred to as a Sept.

Caern of the Hidden Walk

Currently on GarouMUSH there is one Caern, and the protecting sept is the Sept of the Hidden Walk.

Once, the Caern of the Hidden Walk was a Wendigo Caern. That Caern died, and in 1993, the Hidden Walk, then the Wheel Renewed, was reawakened.

Since 1993, it has been, at various times, drained of energy by a Mage, restored by Wyld magic, had its Totems sacrifice themselves for the good ofthe Caern, been taken over by Black Spiral Dancers, and reclaimed by the Garou. Its Totems have been, at various times, Buffalo, Cougar, Magpie, Fog, and now Chimera.

Its Nature is Wyld and Visions. (Having a Caern with two natures is not standard; RP happened. Your character may well be surprised by this.)

For more information on this Caern, contact a knowledgeable Garou.

  1. The distance a Moon Bridge can traverse depends on the rating of the caern where the gate is opened (not that of the destination). If the Moon Bridge is not opened at a caern (for example, a Bridge created by a Lune or other spirit), the distance traversible is 1000 miles.
  2. One point/level/die is gained per success (see Rite of the Opened Caern, pp. 140-141).
  3. These are the spirits most often encountered near caerns of that type. However, there is no guarantee that they are always to be found. Other spirits may also be encountered (Storyteller's discretion).
  4. Only if the two caerns in question have successfully completed a Rite of the Opened Bridge (pg. 141).
