Galliard Reports

Alicia, Guards the Flame, Fostern of the Children of Gaia reports:

• Alicia went and came back from the Western Eye Sept with a new gift, the one of Calm.

• Auggie has decided to stay at the Western Eye after leaving with her, and has found roots of his family living in San Francisco. He may return in the near future.

• Alicia has organized a scouting party for the Tire yard fire excursion, which consists of Helen, Yi, Rusty and Masao, any questions about the scouting party should be directed through her or Yi. Ali also wants everyone to make sure that KL is going to lead the strike force in the Umbra against the Tire yards once the danger has been evaluated.

• Cole has also challenged Alicia for Fostern and terms have been set.

• Dakota has challenged Touch Deer for Fostern and terms are pending.

• Alicia is also spreading news that something called the Reflection of the Coin is killing homeless people, it seems to be part spirit, part man, and that Wrong Way and Yi are contact points for this and they could use any help that may provide useful.

• Alicia is calling for a Galliard Moot and would like those of the Gibbous moon to get in touch with her ASAP to discuss goings on.

• The Children of Gaia have a new cub named Andrew.

• Dakota is now the Gatekeeper of the Sept.

Kaz, Ears to the Ground, Fostern of the Bone Gnawers reports:

• A non-tainted Black Spiral Dancer cub, named Rebecca, was found in early December. With some hesitation, the Sept has taken her in, and she has undergone the Break With the Past. She can now be found in the Farmhouse, as a cub of no tribe. Her name is Beatrice. She's looking into the Uktena to see if they would be a good fit for her, as a tribe, and to see whether the circle snake itself would accept her. Kaz has official responsibility for her.

• Abraxas Brings-The-Bitter-Harvest of the Shadow Lords and Blackriver of the Silver Fangs cub-napped Rebecca, coming into conflict with Dakota over their incursion onto her territory. The Philodox investigation is ongoing.

• Aaron is looking for some help in the city dealing with a tainted ice spirit inhabiting the freezer of a Taco joint. He would like seasoned Theurges and/or other Garou who know how to deal with ice spirits to contact him.

• Kaz, Wrong Way, Yi, and Alicia made a deal with a Rat spirit to find information on what is killing homeless people in St. Claire. The Rat told them it is a spirit called Reflection of the Coin. The search is ongoing.

• Valerie, the Corax, is not to be threatened or harmed provided she doesn't break any rules (she is not, currently, allowed on the Bawn) and doesn't endanger or threaten anyone. Basically, she's a friend of the Sept. She is to be treated as such from now on.

• Walks-In-Circles, of the Wendigo (son of Touch Deer), who disappeared on his Rite several years ago, has returned, with a mate and pups.

• Nikolai, Burned-By-the-Dragon's-Blood, has joined Requiem. Quite a diverse bunch.

• To state the obvious, Megan Ravenfeeder has left. Touch Deer of the Wendigo has claimed Alpha. Seeker, also, has left; Jamethon Fights For Hope of the Get of Fenris has claimed Warder. Dakota Heals-the-Rifts has taken the position of Gatekeeper, Jacinta Pierces-Ice the position of Groundskeeper, and Gunnar Rune-Scar the position of Master of Rites. (Brom continues as Master of the Challenge.)

• Masao, Aaron, Basil, and Christine went on their Rite, and came back, triumphant. Their names are now Leaves None Behind, Savages-the-Enemy, Kills-the-Cries, and Say-Your-Prayers.

• Dakota announced that she is no longer able to serve as maintainer of the Farmhouse. Kaz has made a few noises about maybe doing it, if she had the money...

• Aaron, Savages the Enemy, earned a battle-scar during the Revel, when his vocal chords were severed. Touch Deer subsequently performed the Rite of Wounding on him.

Cole, Howls for Glory, Cliath of the Fianna reports:

• The three Fianna cubs are on the verge of going through their Rites of Passage, and Cole has engaged Alicia to perform the Rites themselves.

• Morgan is no longer to be known as Bug. After having faced three Fomori in single combat, she has earned the name Eyes-of-Fire.

• During the Revel, Aaron earned a battle scar in honorable battle against a minion of the Wyrm.

• Birdseye is actively searching for new members of the city-based scouting pack.

Dillen, Bane of the Bloodsuckers, Cliath of the Get of Fenris reports:

• Requiem has accepted Nikolai into their pack.

• The pack defeated the Dumpster bane in the Umbra.

• Also, the pack is looking for connections with Fomori like activity and the beer Mister Fister.

• Dillen is also helping out Touch Deer with finding people to take down some scrags in the city.

• The Corax Val is not to be harmed as long as she keeps her nose clean.

• Any Sept members with wealthy means need to speak with Touch Deer immediately.

Andy, Recalls the Scars, Cliath of the Silver Fangs reports:

Andy has been scarcely seen, and has nothing newsworthy to report.

Trent, Shades of Gray, Cliath of the Glass Walkers reports:

• Nothing newsworthy.

Morgan, Fire-Eyes, Cub of the Fianna reports:

• As a cub limited primarily to the Farmhouse and grounds, Morgan has not had opportunity to gain or pass along news. This should not be construed as a failing on her part.

Poe, Bites-Bark, Cub of the Get of Fenris reports:

• As a cub limited primarily to the Farmhouse and grounds, Poe has not had opportunity to gain or pass along news. This should not be construed as a failing on his part.
