Descriptions


Caern: The Caern of the sept is located on a jut into the swampy lake and is connected to the main land on the east. Surrounding it are backwater Cyprus trees that form a protective ring around the caern itself. The Caern is a natural limestone wellspring of water that reflects the umbral side once you peer into it, and reflects a beautiful emerald colour into the water. Drinking from this river is how most Garou regain their gnosis in meditation, but it is ill-advised to swim in it.
Bawn: On the bawn you'll find three disconnected lakes that house the pack lands on the various smaller alligator filled islands. Each pack's home is built as log cabins beside the lakes that overlook the small area they claim. On the Umbra, however, you'll find the waters rise very high. The sept supplies boardwalks to wander across the now connecting lakes. Uktena patrols these waters, waiting for someone to dare try and hurt his sept before bursting out of the water to drag them down into the swamp waters. Though often times he rests his head on the cearn to sleep.
Sept: On the physical word, the sept is considered the swamp lands surrounding the Cearn and the three lakes around it. Occasional breaks in the water are where Garou may rest and where Pack-lands are established. While some thicker scrubland sections without trees exist as meditation grounds. Occasionally, the packs with totems of birds and such are known to make tree houses hidden among the great Cyprus trees that grow high into the sky. On the lands are log cabins made by the Garou and Uktena to ensure their lands are not tainted.
