Noted Messenger
Merit · 3 pts
Legends and Elders have used your services to deliver their important words. You may have even been called upon to carry messages of peace (or war) between the Nation and outside forces. Because of your reputation as a reliable messenger, you can pass through other Garou
territories without your presence causing offense, and you may be allowed into any sept (or other locale where your reputation is respected, such as spirit courts or Fera holdings) unchallenged, as long as you carry a message for someone residing there. However, you are expected to behave in accordance with your reputation; if you take offensive actions, act indiscreetly, or speak rudely while in the line of duty, it may affect how you are treated (and may cause the Storyteller to deem that you lose this Merit).
Also in BoS p. 59 — text differs from W20 (55%)
A known emissary between groups, you’re treated with a certain amount of deference and courtesy that other mages would not receive. Even enemies of your group won’t try to kill you on general principle, though they might not be especially happy to see you. The things you have to say will be given a certain amount of weight, and your presence may open doors (literal or otherwise) that would remain shut for almost anybody else.
That’s the upside; the downside is that you need to behave yourself (and keep a tight leash on your companions) when you’re on someone else’s turf. Passing false messages will un dermine your credibility, and obnoxious behavior will get that welcome mat yanked out from under your feet rather quickly. It should go without saying that breaking a truce while acting in your official capacity (or even when you’re not!) will trash your reputation and reflect very poorly on your superiors. Also… well, some folks really do prefer to kill the messenger when things don’t go their way. Tread that red carpet carefully.
