Level One, Caern The Nanets people have few Garou amongst their popu­ lation. But those few Garou have taught this important rite to any gifted Kinfolk. The group make a fire and with a few quiet, contemplative blessings, the fire becomes the center of a small sanctuary — a warm field that remains protected from the elements. While the area within isn’t luxurious, it becomes comfortable enough for safe, secure sleeping.

Once the fire is built, roll Wits + Rites (diffi­ culty 7). If successful, the fire creates a safe zone, a bubble big enough for three people plus one per success. It lasts a full night. During this time, snow, wind, rain, and other environmental phenomena remain outside the bubble. Inside the bubble, people remain warm and the ground is comfortable for sleeping.

A level three version of this rite exists. This version affects a large area — equivalent to the bawn of a caern —and lasts one day per success.

The various packs and Garou in these stories patron the following totem spirits.
