Ananasi Renown
|
Renown
Queen Ananasa marks a pattern upon the skin of her subjects, and this pattern, visible in all forms like the markings of a red-back spider, reveals the rank of the werespider.
- For Tenere werespiders it resembles very fine spider-webs that join together, with the number of anchoring strands revealing rank.
- For Hatar the patterns resemble slithering snakes akin to Celtic knotwork.
- For Kumoti it looks like lightning bolts sparking across each other.

The Ananasi do not truly let their Renown lead them, they are all judged by Queen Ananasa, not each other. Each category correlates directly to the aspect of the Triat that the Ananasa follow; Cuning - Wyrm, Obedience - Weaver, Wisdom - Wyld. They follow every aspect at least to a degree, to gain a better understanding of the other aspects.
CunningTo gain Cunning renown, a werespider has to perform acts of resourcefulnes and cleverness. |
ObedienceTo advance in Obedience the werespiders have to follow the ways and laws of Ananasa, and to follow their aspects of the Triat. |
WisdomFor Wisdom renown, demonstrations of good judgment and intuition (in the eyes of other Ananasi, of course) are required. |

If a player is approved at Rank 0, goes through their Ananasi Education 101 (has read the Breedbook), is assigned their Faction and Aspect and gains the renown to reach Rank 1, then they gain gifts and renown as usual for Rank 1 and their Aspect/Faction.
- These gifts don't cost XP.
