Renown

The stories of a Garou's memorable accomplishments are told and re-told among werewolves and their ancestral spirits. These stories are known as a Garou's Renown, and they correspond loosely to how much respect others in the Garou Nation owe the werewolf. Going up in Rank requires a Garou to earn certain amounts of Renown.

Earning Renown

The earning of Renown is not a humble endeavor. Whenever a werewolf does something noteworthy or admirable, it's in their best interests to brag about it -- or to have someone else do it on their behalf. This role falls traditionally upon Garou of the Galliard auspice. When a Galliard tells the story of someone's worthy accomplishments, the spirits and the Nation take note.

The Rite of Accomplishment

The Rite will be performed traditionally by a Galliard or Philodox. They will use their different ways and means to open the circle for the ears of the spirits. Then once that has been estabilished you will perform your tale of deeds (one or many) for the ears of the Sept and the Spirits taking notice of your story. Every deed will help you gather Temporary Renown. When you have 10 points of either Glory, Honor or Wisdom, you may have this rite performed. Within our Chop channel you will roll with a Storyteller and must WIN your simple test with them to exchange the 10 points for 1 Perminant renown point. These are what are referred to below as totals. If you are concerned or confused you of course may discuss the rite with the Storyteller BEFORE the rite taking place. They will explain fully to you.

There are several other requirements around correctly performing a Rite of Accomplishment, such as the requirement that the ritualist be of higher Rank than the subject, and that you can only benefit from it once a month. Read the description of the rite for more details.
