Trial and Error
Umbral Realm · Werewolf
A Child of Gaia Ragabash, “Truth Seeker,” challenged for the Rank of Athro. The formidable Adren has been through much in his life, and many within his sept felt the Rank challenge was long overdue. Teliah is the most respected Athro in Truth Seeker’s sept, and though she is a Theurge, he chose to challenge her. Teliah is well-known for sending her challengers into the Umbra, and Truth Seeker was looking forward to the challenge for some time. Teliah tasked Truth Seeker with solving a puzzle. She handed him a carved box and told him that once he could open the thing, she would view him as Athro. The only hint that Teliah gave to Truth Seeker was that the answer could not be found in the physical realm, and that he would need to travel deep into the Umbra to discover its secrets. Truth Seeker entered the Umbra on his task with determination and excitement.
That was four months ago. No one has seen nor heard from Truth Seeker since news came from Garou guarding an Anchorhead in a nearby part of the Aetherial Realm that he had passed through the Membrane there. No news of his return followed, and the sept has sent inquiries to the other guarded Anchorheads wondering if he came out from a different direction. Truth Seeker is thought to be lost somewhere in the Deep Umbra. His sept requests the characters to find Truth Seeker and help him return home. The characters must travel into the Deep Umbra and find Truth Seeker, and return him home if possible. When the characters begin following the other werewolf’s trail in the Deep Umbra, they find that his deep contemplation on the puzzle box lead him to the realm the box originated from, and somehow into the box itself. Truth Seeker is frozen in time within the box, and the characters are his only hope for getting out of the box and returning safely to his home sept.
