| style="vertical-align: top; width: 30%; padding-right: 25px" |
 +
===Power===
 +
* I will crush my enemies.
 +
* I shall improve myself at all expense.
 +
* I shall never refuse a challenge.
 +
* I shall use my power to the greater glory of the Wyrm.
 +
 +
The Black Spirals respect those who possess power. They see power as a necessary tool. It's not evil or good, it's a tool. Black Spirals respect a skilled master of power: one who is not afraid, who tries to gain as much power as possible, and one who's effective in the service of his chosen cause, namely the Wyrm (though it could be the pack, Hive, or Pentex). Power is more than brute force, for it represents the limitations of the individual. Renown in Power is ultimately illusory. Power Renown is based more on others' perceptions of an individual's power than said individual's actual power. it must be noted, however, that it's very hard to gain Power Renown among the Black Spirals for long without being able to back it up.
 +
 +
| style="vertical-align: top; width: 30%; padding-right: 25px" |
 +
 +
===Infamy===
 +
* I shall serve the Wyrm and aid its minions.
 +
* I shall destroy the homids.
 +
* I shall destroy the Garou.
 +
* I shall rend Gaia to make way for the Wyrm.
 +
* I shall spread corruption.
 +
 +
The Black Spirals represent the force of Corruption and they respect it. They believe corruption goes hand in hand with strength. It's the tester and toughener of power. All who possess power, to whatever degree, are tested through corruption. The weak fail, at the cost of their power. The degree to which a Black Spiral has managed to spread corruption and destruction is marked by her Infamy Renown.
 +
 +
| style="vertical-align: top; width: 30%" |
 +
 +
===Cunning===
 +
* I shall hold to my word only while it is to my benefit.
 +
* I shall know my enemies.
 +
* I shall know myself.
 +
* I shall turn everything, every situation, to my advantage.
 +
* I shall never give foreknowledge of my actions.
 +
 +
The Black Spirals greatly respect Cunning. It is a mark of understanding. It represents wisdom about Garou and homid nature. Those that are cunning are to be feared and respected. They may not be as powerful as some, but they effectively use what they have through surprise and trickery. The Black Spirals even apply this Renown when used against themselves, although the one seeking Renown had better succeed or he will instead be scorned (loss of Renown).

If a player is approved at Rank 0 and then Dances the Spiral to Rank 1, then they gain gifts and renown as usual for Rank 1 and their breed/tribe/auspice.
 +
* These gifts don't cost XP.
 +
* Any previous renown unconnected to the Rite of Passage is retained on top of the auspice baseline.

'''NOT OFFICIAL YET!''' This is all custom. As far as we know, White Wolf never wrote a canon list of these for BSDs, just their version of the Litany.

 +
'''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 Wyrm's purpose, then go ahead and submit a request.
 +
 
 +
'''The following types have been tinted for ease of reading and browsing:'''
 +
 
 +
*These awards and penalties are directly from the established renown lists, with changes limited to specifying Wyrmish use.
 +
 
 +
Items in '''Black''' are positive renown awards.
 +
 
 +
<span class="renown-loss">Items in Red</span> are negative renown penalties
 +
 
 +
*These awards and penalties have been either created from scratch, or taken from lists and more heavily modified for Wyrmish use.

<span class="homebrew-gain">Items in Blue </span> are positive home-brew renown awards

  • A Guide to submitting Renown Requests.
  • A Renown FAQ if you have questions about the system.

Categories

Power

  • I will crush my enemies.
  • I shall improve myself at all expense.
  • I shall never refuse a challenge.
  • I shall use my power to the greater glory of the Wyrm.

The Black Spirals respect those who possess power. They see power as a necessary tool. It's not evil or good, it's a tool. Black Spirals respect a skilled master of power: one who is not afraid, who tries to gain as much power as possible, and one who's effective in the service of his chosen cause, namely the Wyrm (though it could be the pack, Hive, or Pentex). Power is more than brute force, for it represents the limitations of the individual. Renown in Power is ultimately illusory. Power Renown is based more on others' perceptions of an individual's power than said individual's actual power. it must be noted, however, that it's very hard to gain Power Renown among the Black Spirals for long without being able to back it up.

Infamy

  • I shall serve the Wyrm and aid its minions.
  • I shall destroy the homids.
  • I shall destroy the Garou.
  • I shall rend Gaia to make way for the Wyrm.
  • I shall spread corruption.

The Black Spirals represent the force of Corruption and they respect it. They believe corruption goes hand in hand with strength. It's the tester and toughener of power. All who possess power, to whatever degree, are tested through corruption. The weak fail, at the cost of their power. The degree to which a Black Spiral has managed to spread corruption and destruction is marked by her Infamy Renown.

Cunning

  • I shall hold to my word only while it is to my benefit.
  • I shall know my enemies.
  • I shall know myself.
  • I shall turn everything, every situation, to my advantage.
  • I shall never give foreknowledge of my actions.

The Black Spirals greatly respect Cunning. It is a mark of understanding. It represents wisdom about Garou and homid nature. Those that are cunning are to be feared and respected. They may not be as powerful as some, but they effectively use what they have through surprise and trickery. The Black Spirals even apply this Renown when used against themselves, although the one seeking Renown had better succeed or he will instead be scorned (loss of Renown).

If a player is approved at Rank 0 and then Dances the Spiral to Rank 1, then they gain gifts and renown as usual for Rank 1 and their breed/tribe/auspice.

  • These gifts don't cost XP.
  • Any previous renown unconnected to the Rite of Passage is retained on top of the auspice baseline.

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 Wyrm's purpose, then go ahead and submit a request.

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

  • These awards and penalties are directly from the established renown lists, with changes limited to specifying Wyrmish use.

Items in Black are positive renown awards.

Items in Red are negative renown penalties

  • These awards and penalties have been either created from scratch, or taken from lists and more heavily modified for Wyrmish use.

Items in Blue are positive home-brew renown awards

Items in Purple are negative home-brew renown penalties
