The Thirteen Tribes continually war with each other, but the forces of the Wyrmn must be stronger. This mandate enforces the tribe’s unity, allowing their alliances with such diverse societies as Pentex and the Sabbat. Service to the Wyrm is more important than philosophical debate.

* [[Fera Renown]]

* [[Renown|Gaian Garou Renown]]
 +
* [[Hengeyokai Renown]]
 +
* [[Kinfolk Renown]]
  
−
*Beware the Territory of Another
+
* A [[Renown/Guide|Guide]] to submitting Renown Requests.
−
This dictum allows separate Hives to maintain separate territories. Competition for land is usually not a problem, since most new Hives are created from distant Garou Caerns. This law also applies when Black Spirals from different Hives encounter each other within the tunnels of the underworld. A Black Spiral may travel through the tunnels of another Hive as long as he does not endanger it. If he does, the transgressor is tortured and devoured by the offended werewolves.
+
* A [[Renown_FAQ|Renown FAQ]] if you have questions about the system.
  
−
*Slay Those Who Will Not Join You
+
* A [[Character_Generation/Garou|Cheatsheet]] for creating a Garou
−
Offering a Garou the chance to walk the spiral is an honor. Prisoners are sometimes offered the chance to transmogrify instead of submitting to hours of messy torture. Those treated with such esteem should show proper deference. Those who reject such overtures are destroyed.
 
  
−
*Respect All Those Who Serve the Wyrm
+
==Categories==
−
This stricture allows Hives to consider ideas advanced by humans within Pentex and Sabbat vampires. Though they may choose to disregard the Veil or extol the use of technology, they both serve the Wyrm. Black Spirals may also accord a modicum of respect to Garou who are on the long dark path toward corruption. One might argue against slaying a Shadow Lord cultist or Uktena occultist outright if they believe the cur is destined to walk the Shattered Labyrinth.

 +
===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 Veil Shall Not Be Lifted
+
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.
−
This idea is not only upheld by Garou and Black Spirals alike, but by most supernatural creatures. By enacting their schemes silently and discreetly, Black Spirals can hide from the Garou who hunt them, infiltrate human society more thoroughly, and employ the advantage of surprise. In a more general context, this dictum sometimes becomes a point of contention between Black Spirals and the Sabbat. The werewolves don’t care for plans that force them to compromise the secrecy of their Hives, but they also don’t mind if Sabbat vampires bring down human retribution on themselves.
 
  
−
*Do Not Suffer Thy People to Tend Thy Sickness
+
| style="vertical-align: top; width: 30%; padding-right: 25px" |
−
Unlike some tribes of the Garou Nation, the Black Spirals uphold this dictum religiously. A weak cub should not grow old enough to poison the tribe’s gene pool. A weak elder is a liability, and if he cannot defeat challenges against his position, he should be destroyed. As a corollary to this, some Black Spirals are actually so insane that they pose a threat to the security of a Hive. In this case, they are either made Ronin or torn limb from limb in sacrifices to dark powers.
 
  
−
*The Leader May Be Challenged At Any Time in Peace
+
===Infamy===
−
This stricture has remained intact since the days of the White Howlers. Defeating Black Spirals of renown is an effective way to gain infamy and power. If a leader cannot defeat his own followers, he has no right to lead them against their enemies.
+
* 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 Leader Shall Not Be Challenged in Time of War
+
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.
−
Once battle begins, the forces of the Wyrm must be united. This is the Black Spirals’ chief advantage over the Thirteen Tribes. Admittedly, arguing this pint of the Dark Litany is difficult, as the tribe is almost always involved in some sort of conflict, but it’s usually reserved for when an outright skirmish has begun. There are few notable exceptions, such as when a vampire or Nephandus is attempting to lead Black Spirals in battle and does so poorly.
 
  
−
*Ye Shall Take No Action That Causes a Pit to Be Violated
+
| style="vertical-align: top; width: 30%" |
−
The interpretation of this guideline usually applies to security and secrecy. If anyone who is not a Black Spiral Dancer or Wyrm-spirit enters a Pit, he must be killed swiftly. Prisoners are never brought back to a Pit, nor does anyone speak of the sanctum when outside its boundaries. If prisoners are honored with an invitation to the Shattered Labyrinth, the Rite of the Black Spiral must be performed away from the Hive’s sanctum.
+
 
 +
===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.

  • 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
