In the case of banes too powerful to destroy, they instead bound them deep within the earth. The Uktena fashioned ritual bindings made to last, and in most cases the banes are still bound and ineffective. At the time, the Uktena knew nothing of the Dark Umbra, and nothing about ghosts or {@fetish Spectres|UVS}. Dealing with {@fetish Spectres|UVS} was particularly difficult and a special ritual was developed to bind them as well.","One such {@npc Spectre|V20} is bound just outside of a Pennsylvania sept. The sept changed hands long ago from the Uktena to the {@tribe Get of Fenris|Kin}, and no one knows or remembers the binding. The Garou in the area are experiencing problems with what seem like terrible banes swarming the location, yet when they travel to the Umbra, they cannot find the spirits. Evidence of ghost attacks and possessions on the","human community makes it clear that the sept is dealing with an onslaught of powerful ghosts. The sept Alpha requests the characters to investigate what is causing the ghosts to act out and how to stop them. The characters must enter the Dark Umbra to follow the ghosts, and discover the presence of the {@npc Spectre|V20} bound in strange spiritual ties. The bindings are weak from the ghosts tearing away at the magic holding them. As the characters destroy the ghosts, more keep arriving. Something is sending the ghosts to the {@npc Spectre|V20}, and the only way to deal with it is to follow them to their source.
