The Sept of the Bright Skies protects a caern that is closely connected to both the Middle and Dark Umbrae, such that spirits and ghosts can freely pass between the physical realm and the Dark Umbra at the caern’s heart. The Garou here are charged with monitoring whatever comes out of the Umbrae, preventing unruly spirits and ghosts from stealing life force from the local community, or possessing their Kinfolk. The sept is old, and scant few Garou remain to monitor the area properly. Recently, a tide of ghostly shapes poured out of the caern heart to attack the Garou. The few survivors of the attack have put out a call for help to any that will listen.

The characters respond to the call and find that all of the sept has been killed and the ghosts have escaped into the town, possessing people and causing havoc. As they round up the ghosts to return them to the Dark Umbra, the characters recognize some of the ghosts as people they have killed in the past. When the characters get close to the caern heart and the entrance to the Dark Umbra, they find the area teeming with ghosts, all who seem to have deep aggressions towards werewolves. Investigation reveals that all of the ghosts were once victims of Garou killings. The ghosts are congregating, but dealing with the rest involves going into the Dark Umbra. Once they get there, the characters discover that a single powerful ghost is calling other ghosts

to this location to direct them into the physical realm to attack werewolves. The characters must disperse the ghosts congregating at the caern heart, but to do so they must first seek out and destroy the ghost directing their movements.
