The Gnawers especially here at The Deep are deemed amongst the most fearless of the Nation and they give every reason for the Nation to think them so. Famed for their Mech Armored Warriors and Blast Troops, The Deep is a terrifying foe to have, and a glorious ally. 

It has been held now in Thompson family for three generations, even now held by the massive mountain of a Homid Gnawer known as 'Nails' and protected by a wild and thrill seeking Metis Gnawer called 'Killswitch'

 

The two have provided the tribe's children with many a legend and tale of the ferocious and fearless duo who have done nothing but wonders at this place. Holding it in favoured stead and respected by the rest of the Nation. A rare feat for the Gnawers and only held higher with their Glasswalker companions. 

 

The Deep's entrance is situated on the 5th basement level of a multistory parking lot. Behind a set of thick and rugged steel Blast Doors that all but those of the supernatural seem to ignore quite basically. A charm no doubt by one of the Gnawer or Walker Theurges who resides within. 

 

Working your way down into the Caern is no easy task unless invited by the Head Warder Killswitch. The Blast Doors open to a vast lowering ramp that leads down another half mile into the earth and opens out into a level of the Caern that most will store their vehicles and other belongings that are not needed inside the vast place. 

 

The ramp is protected by no less than 35 mech armored Warders all of whom follow the lead of Killswitch and are unwaveringly loyal to Alpha Nails.

 

However as much as Killswitch is a terrifying enemy, he also has a heart of gold and now being married to a Child of Gaia kinfolk named Meg, he takes in and fathers orphan Metis children with his wife. Providing them a caring and loving home within the Caern that is second to none to these of the most unfortunate. 

 

Within the living quarters of the Deep there is a highly active Security Office which is headed up by two Kinfolk, rather than Garou. Kobe Thompson, a nephew to Nails the Alpha and Felicia Dalca, the only Shadowlord presence on the Sept, known as 'Flik's The Switch' herself a paraplegic after almost dying in defence of the Caern some years before. Both of them are accomplished and talented Hackers who not only protect the Caern with multiple computerized security systems but also are massive activists through their computer connections, even having been linked with organizations such as 'Anonymous'.

 

The Deep also have some good ways of getting their messages from the outside, most of all through the famed DJ Chairman. An active figure on the Houston music scene. His music played at many clubs and nightspots throughout the city. Using his gatherings as a way of communication to the world outside. Bryant as The Chairman is otherwise known is a highly active member of the deep and claims Flik as his kin.

 

Alpha Nails is a man of his own heroic tales, having been one of the main warlords of the Bonegnawer Tribe before his father called him on his death bed and handed over the "keys" to the Caern. Nails being still a young man with many things left to prove to provide The Deep with a formal and strong Alpha did take time, years in fact, to settle to his new found position.

 

However once this was accomplished by the hardened Ahroun, he became one of the finest and strongest Alphas to be found within the Nation, even to this day he is a legend amongst the Bonegnawers and Glasswalkers the world wide. However, as much as this famed has settled on the mountain of a Gnawer, Nails continues to be a man of his people and with it humble. It is not hard to find love for this man and his processes with position. Indeed an inspiration to his peers and of course a highly held and beloved brother to many of the ahroun including his life long best friend and Head Warder, Killswitch. 

 

The Deep is a double leveled Caern that holds everything to which it has become it's own underworld settlement, even, thanks to Meg, Killswitch's beloved and adored wife, it holds a bio-garden providing the Caern and it's people with fresh vegetables and food that otherwise they would find extremely difficult to access. 

 

With it's multiple weaponized security systems and the quality of life that the Garou and Kinfolk have strived with blood, sweat and tears to make the best possible, The Deep is in fact one of the best and strongest Caerns to be found within today's Nation. Ironic some may say that such a place of Gaian strength is found within the backyard of the Wyrm and Weaver who by all attempts so far have failed to conquer it's territory.
