Everything

This tenet describes situations in which violence is imminent, or during actual combat. Many Spirals vigorously pursue a stance that individual battles do not indicate that the tribe is embroiled in a larger conflict for the fate of Gaia, that war is over and done. They consider any conflicts with the Garou purely temporary, local matters, even when they initiate that conflict. As a result, efforts to refuse challenges indefinitely, citing a state of perpetual war, work much less frequently for Black Spiral alphas than for Garou warlords.
