You've done it! You have navigated the dangerous waters of application, slogged through desc-writing and background sets (as per The Player's Primer), and are ready to get on grid!

So what does your character actually know about how the game world works? It depends on whether you are a cub, cliath, or kinfolk.


Cub

Your knowledge will largely depend on the background written down in your application and agreed upon with your application wizard. If you come from a background in which you have been raised from a young age knowing your heritage, you will have far more knowledge than a Lost Cub or 'fetched cub kept in the dark about their nature. Your application wizard will be your best resource.

Cliath

There are a few basic things that Cliaths are likely to know once they have finished their Rite of Passage. There can be variations depending on the character and the application; this guide is speaking of generalizations, and its content can be adapted as needed per conversations with your app. wizard.

The Basic Structure of a Sept

Sept structure is something that is known to most Cliath Garou who live in one, or who are taught in one. This includes what kinds of Sept Officer positions are in use by a Sept and what their responsibilities are.

The actual handling of the various positions can (and likely will) vary depending on the dominant tribe(s) of the Sept. For example, a Silver Fang-dominant Sept would likely have a very formal and traditional Sept arrangement, while a Children of Gaia-dominant Sept might have a more informal and liberal style.

The local human culture may also have an impact on how the local Garou population approach their Sept organization.

The Basic Rules for Operating In A Sept

There are several established procedures in the average Garou Sept:

Gaining access to the Bawn and the Caern

  1. Get checked by the Guardians. They can grant temporary access to the Bawn pending contact with the Sept Alpha.
  2. Make your presence known to the Sept Alpha and Caern Warder

The Bawn maybe accessed with permission of the Sept Alpha, and the Caern with permission from the Sept Alpha and the Caern Warder. Once chiminage is offered and agreed on, a Garou can access the Caern.

If you plan on staying as a guest (as opposed to becoming a Sept member), the Protectrate (forests surrounding the Bawn and the city of St. Claire) can be accessed by pemission of the Sept Alpha, the Bawn and Caern by permission of the Caern Warder. Some small amount of chiminage will often be asked for Caern use by a guest. Guest status is usually for chraracters that plan on staying only temporarily, generally lasting around 3 months. Guests are generally discouraged from joining packs, are not allowed to perform rites on the Bawn or Caern without offering chiminage first, and are otherwise given second class treatment in many cases (see +bbpost sept/1).

Offering Chiminage to join the Sept

Ideally chiminage to join the Sept is offered through your Tribal Elder, but it can also be offered through the Sept Alpha.

Challenging for Rank

The procedure to Challenge for Rank is explained excellently in this article.

Challenging for Honor

Speak to the Master of the Challenge. The procedures are similar to the Challenge procedure used for Rank. Note that smaller honour challenges can often be resolved without the Master of Challenge being involved.

Performing Rites on the Bawn

  • Approach the Master of Rites and ask permission to perform the rite.
  • For rites that may potentially endanger the Caern, the Caern Warder and Groundskeeper may also need to be consulted.
  • If the Caern itself need be opened, the Gatekeeper must also be consulted

IC Character Conflict Resolution

There are multiple outlets for resolving conflicts:

Kinfolk

Your knowledge will largely depend on the background written down in your application and agreed upon with your application wizard. If you come from a background in which you have been raised from a young age knowing your heritage, you will have far more knowledge than a lost kinfolk. Your application wizard will be your best resource.
