Everything

Moon Bridges span the distance between two caerns, serving as both a way to maintain diplomatic relations be­ tween septs and quickly travel safely across great distances. At either end is a Pathstone, carefully maintained and

fiercely guarded by the sept. If the Pathstones lose their magic, the Bridge vanishes and reclaiming it is incredibly difficult. Caerns that host Moon Bridges are some of the Garou Nation’s greatest resources and receive due accord.

Moon Bridges only appear when opened at both sides by both septs performing the Rite of the Opened Caern (W20, p.206) in unison — assuming the septs established the Bridge previously via the proper rite. Upon completion of the rite a luminescent tube emerges from the Pathstones and arcs through the Umbral sky. The Bridge itself is not solid but Garou may travel upon it like an actual bridge. It gives just a little beneath the feet, like it was made of a soft rubber, and yet puts little resistance back. It’s almost like stepping into gelatinous water, neither cold nor frozen. It is not wet, but shimmers and waves like water-reflected moonlight.

The very apex of a Moon Bridge passes through the Aetherial Realm, and is one of the safest places in all reality for a werewolf. Luna herself guards these holy paths and to date no enemy has been able to assail a traveling pack in the celestial reaches. Lunes watch over those buoyed by moonlight, but an avatar of the Celestine Luna oversees every Moon Bridge journey through the Aetherial Realm. Any tainted beings — or blasphemous acts like trying to destroy the Bridge itself — meet with the full wrath of one of the mightiest Celestines.
