Everything

Responsibilities: The Keeper of the Land maintains the sept’s physical appearance. However, she is more than just a glorified janitor — not only do the Garou deeply respect someone who takes responsibility for protecting and beautifying the natural environment, Gaian spirits find a well-kept sept more attractive. Thus, the Keeper of the Land is a combination gardener, park ranger, and shaman.

In an urban caern, the Keeper of the Land makes sure that the caern reflects the wishes of the local spirits. She spends a lot of her time rearranging piles of trash, moving dumpsters, and planting small gardens. Instead of shrines in secluded caves and hollow tree trunks, urban spirits prefer things that resemble community memorials to the victims of car accidents and gang violence, except with strange sigils replacing photographs and the addition of an offering bowl. The result looks like a strange combination of urban renewal and modernist feng shui.

The Keepers, described above, assist the Keeper of the Land in her duties, giving her plenty of free time to leave the sept and pursue her own goals with her pack.

The Keeper of the Land has limited interaction with spirits. It’s possible, though difficult, for a Kinfolk to fulfill the Keeper of the Land’s responsibilities, though she might have to rely on Garou to let her know if the spirits needs are neglected.

Benefit: The Keeper of the Land is beloved by all the sept’s spirits and can count on their advice and help. A Garou who fulfills this position well enjoys a +4 bonus to all social dice pools when dealing with spirits associated with the sept, including the sept’s totem.
