Incarnae sit one step below Celestines in this hierarchy, servings as servants, warriors, and advisors to those cosmic forces. Nearly all of them derive their power from their pa­ trons, though they often believe they have the potential to eventually become Celestines. Most dwell in the realms of the Celestines, but a few have independent domains of their own. Incarnae have a defined purpose and sphere of influence.

Garou are most familiar with the Incarnae who serve as their totems. From the moment a pack of werewolves proves their spiritual allegiance, their totem provides them with guidance and their spiritual blessing. In fact, it may bestow its patronage to an entire sept or tribe of Garou. As servants of Gaia, they create avatars to interact and communicate with werewolves. Pack totems are the most commonly encountered

form of “incarnate” avatar; however, as spiritual servants, pack totems demonstrate power on a par with Jagglings.

Though significantly less powerful than Celestines, Incarnae are powerful enough to exist on multiple levels of reality. Garou typically interact with one incarnate avatar, although elder Theurges tell tales of spiritual trav­ elers who have communed with an Incarna in the remote realms of the Deep Umbra, marveling at its awesome and overwhelming spiritual might.
