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.

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.

===Cunning===

To gain Cunning renown, a werespider has to perform acts of resourcefulnes and cleverness.

*'''Obey The Mother-Queen In All Things'''
+
===Obedience===
Her will is what has taken us this far in our sacred quest to restore the Triat. Her wisdom is what guides us in all matters. Do not feel that you, a mere stripling, have suddenly grown wiser. Do not question Her will and do not try to bend Her sacred laws to your own desires.
+
To advance in Obedience the werespiders have to follow the ways and laws of Ananasa, and to follow their aspects of the Triat.
----
 
*'''Defend Your Brethren From All Who Would Do Them Harm'''
 
As we have said before, we are all family. We might meet again in the field of combat and destroy each other, but we must never allow others to do so without fearing for their very existence. In this there can be no mercy and no quarter. If another of the Damhan is attacked while you are present, even one whom you personally hate, you must defend him. Even if the one who attacks him is your chosen mortal mate, you must obey. Failure to do so is met by the harshest of punishments. Do not think death is the worst thing that can happen to you. Rest assured there are far worse fates, and from time to time they've been experienced by our brethren who fell short on this most sacred law.
 
----
 
*'''Follow The Aspect And Faction That Ananasa Chooses For You'''
 
I don't really give a damn if you like to hug trees in your spare time or think surfing the internet is the coolest thing since the movie Arachnophobia. When you are told by Ananasa what aspect and faction you must follow, that's the end of it. If you're meant to follow the way of the Chymos and would rather be hanging around with the Agere, that is an opinion you keep to yourself. Ananasa is wise, and she has a plan that we must carry out if she is ever to be freed and the natural order of the universe is ever to be restored. That means what I want, what you want, and what your best friend in the whole world wants is secondary. You are given a sacred task, and you are chosen by Ananasa Herself. Don't play games.
 
----
 
*'''Understand The Ways Of The Triat, Both As They Were, And As They Are. Know The Difference.'''
 
I shouldn't have to explain this, but I will. The Triat has gone wrong. Somewhere along the way, they screwed up and threw the universe out of whack. That's where we come in. We have to fix their mistakes. That is what Ananasa wants, and what She will get from us. Am I making myself perfectly clear? If you are Hatar, you will follow the ways of the Wyrm - As the Wyrm was meant to be. You will not make a life of corrupting the world to better suit the Wyrm's needs. You will not use the ways of the Wyrm to twist the world into your own vision of a perfect hell to suit your own selfish needs. You will do what the Wyrm has forgotten to do. If you are Kumoti, you will revel in the ways of the Wyld, you will bring forth chaos and change, as that is your sacred duty. You will not make friends with the Garou and other Ovid, save as is necessary to accomplish the goals of Ananasa and the Wyld. You are part of an organized and deliberate plan created by the Mother-Queen, and damn it all, you must never forget that. If you are asked by Ananasa to follow the ways of the Tenere, then you will do so. But you must never allow yourself to forget that Grandmother Spider is a raving lunatic with designs on destroying everything. You must never forget that we are working to stop the Weaver from ending all existence. The Weaver is stark raving mad, children, She cant help that, but it's a fact. Do not, under any circumstances, forget that while she is your Grandmother, she is also wrong. She may seem soothing and loving from a distance, but up close, you'll notice that her dentures don't fit and she smells like mothballs. Don't be fooled.
 
  
You are not serving the Wyrm, the Wyld, and the Weaver. You are taking their place and getting done what they themselves are failing to accomplish. Know them for what they were, for what they are, and for what, with Ananasa's guidance, they will be again. Any questions? No? Good!

===Wisdom===
*'''Know Your Enemies'''
+
For Wisdom renown, demonstrations of good judgment and intuition (in the eyes of other Ananasi, of course) are required.
Oh, this one's simple. Everyone is your enemy. They might act like friends, but they do not serve the same goal that we do, and that makes them enemies. Do not try to convert them, they will not understand. Do not tell them your personal secrets, they will use them against you. Do not let them seduce you with their false cosmologies and their hopes for a better tomorrow. They are wrong. Seduce them? Certainly. Use them? Absolutely. Unless they are one of the Damhan, or a minion of Ananasa who actually understands what she wants, they are your enemies. When we meet in the world beyond the sacred places, we will likely be enemies. Don't forget these things. This is the will of Ananasa.

*'''Know The Great Web For What It Is'''
 
The Great Web is the whole of the universe, and all things have their place in it somewhere. What do I mean? I mean that life is sacred, but so is death and so is change. All things exist for a purpose, but that purpose is not necessarily ours to divine. Understand that what you encounter exists because it was meant to exist. Do not condemn anything you meet without at least trying to understand what purpose it serves. That's the way of the Garou with their foolish War of Rage. They didn't care to learn the reasons for the other Ovid, and now the entire universe pays for their folly. Oh, I can see in your eyes that you are skeptical. How can one little world affect the universe? Well, how can the world affect one life? Everything is connected, every strand of the Great Web is there for a reason. We must first understand the purpose of a strand before we decide it serves us to alter or remove that strand. Ananasa gives us wisdom in these things. We are... unusually gifted in understanding the Great Web, but we are still only children in comparison to the Triat. Even they, who can bend the forces of Destruction, Chaos, and Order to their will, haven't always made the best decisions. That, my friends, is the reason we myst live up to the name of "The Patient Ones". Foolish, emotional reactions to the obstacles placed before us by the universe lead to devastating reactions. Do you really want that on your conscience?
 
----
 
*'''Know Your Place'''
 
We have a purpose. We must follow that purpose. We have a creator, we must follow Her orders. These are simple rules to live by. But they get more complex. Just as we must understand the Great Web, we must understand that there are others who serve properly in their places. We respect the Mokole, because they have never fallen from their purpose. We admire the Rokea, for they have never turned from their sacred duty to survive at all costs.
 
----
 
*'''Keep Your Mouth Shut'''
 
Our place is to fix the flaws in the Great Web by serving Ananasa. Understand that, and then forget it. You must never tell others of what we do, because they are not capable of understanding. They believe that all aspects of the Ananasi are at war, that we exist solely to destroy each other. They are right to a degree, but they don't understand what goes on behind that war, or why we continue to do battle against one another. They cannot understand the subtleties of our checks and balances. Hell, knowing the Garou, they'd feel obligated to take over for us, and if that should happen, we will surely die a pointless death.
 
----
 
*'''Worship None But Ananasa'''
 
Let me emphasize this again. We might do the work of the Triat, but we do not follow their laws and we do not care about their minions. We do what must be done, by order of the Mother-Queen. Follow her orders. Follow her intent. Do not allow yourself to mistake your sacred mission for something other than what it is. Do not follow the "totems" of the other Ovid. They will deceive you, wittingly or not, because they are all associated with the Triat, and as we have already made abundantly clear, the Triat is askew, they lack the symmetry to handle their own tasks and will surely lead you astray. You have your god, obey Her, and allow Her to guide you, and never, under any circumstances, allow the false gods of the Ovid to sway you. The punishment for breaking this law is... unpleasant.

  • A Guide to submitting Renown Requests.
  • A Renown FAQ if you have questions about the system
  • A Cheatsheet for creating a Ananasi

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.

Categories

Players Guide to the Changing Breeds pg#167

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.

Cunning

To gain Cunning renown, a werespider has to perform acts of resourcefulnes and cleverness.

Obedience

To advance in Obedience the werespiders have to follow the ways and laws of Ananasa, and to follow their aspects of the Triat.

Wisdom

For Wisdom renown, demonstrations of good judgment and intuition (in the eyes of other Ananasi, of course) are required.

Rank Requirements

Tenere (Weaver)

Rank Cunning Obedience Wisdom

3 3 7 4

Kumoti (Wyld)

Rank Cunning Obedience Wisdom
1 3
2 1 1 5
3 4 3 7

5 7 6 10


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.

Sample Renown Awards

Note: These are not uniformly objective. They may be rejected/reduced/increased based on circumstances.

Note: These are not exhaustive. If something doesn't seem to fit here, or isn't found in this list, but still serves one of these types and the Ananasi's purpose, then go ahead and submit a request.

  • Awards given once per combat, not per enemy

The following types have been tinted for ease of reading and browsing:

  • These awards and penalties are directly from the established renown lists found in Players Guide to the Changing Breeds pgs.#170-173

Items in Black are positive renown awards.

Items in Red are negative renown penalties
