Everything

Like the Garou, the Spirals recognize the absolute necessity of a hierarchy to keep the pack safe. This in­ cludes a routine, violent changing of the guard to ensure the dominance of the pack. However, many Spiral alphas keep their packs in sustained states of active war footing, much to the disgust of the Princes of Ruin, while many more have begun to operate in very loosely allied packs that might share a single territory with clearly divided boundaries, roles, and duties, but with each member acting as his own leader. In such associations, an alpha directs the pack when it works together, and directs his packmates in an overall agenda for their territory and their association, but otherwise leaves each packmate to pursue his ambitions autonomously. Such associations have been finding greater and greater success and popularity in newer generations of Black Spirals. A few packs have gained enormous prestige for rotating Garou members in and out of their operations without the Gaian werewolves realizing who or what they were associating with until they found a claw in their back or the Spiral Within opening in their hearts.
