Suffer Not Thy People to Tend Thy Sickness
Gift · Werewolf
As with the Garou, but with a more selfish bent; many of the Spirals do not consider themselves “at war” in a general sense. Therefore, they do not waste time on the wounded or the daunted, and are far more willing to throw away the lives of packmates. Conveniently, they usually cite some weakness or physical or mental failing to excuse the decision.
Note that this is not a tenet that excuses murder ing Spiral children, or killing someone who has broken their leg, or has taken ill but might recover. The Spirals will generally nurse and harbor those who have a strong chance of recovery, particularly if they have proven themselves strong in the past. Rather, the abuse of this rule surrounds some legitimate claim to weakness in a particular Spiral’s character, in which infirmity becomes grounds to eliminate a wolf who might have otherwise remained to weaken a pack. Such abuses, along with
several tactically reasonable cullings, occur less frequently due to the widespread belief among Wyrmish fanatics that madness is a divine blessing of the Wyrm, rather than a form of infirmity.
