Level Three Some tribes and septs takes the failure of a pack alpha very seriously indeed. If all the members of a pack agree that their alpha has failed them catastrophically, then they may enact this rite to formally reject his leadership and punish his incompetence. The pack takes their fallen

alpha and sits him on a

rock. They then crown him with a mock crown and bow down in pretend obeisance to him. They then stand up and com­ mence mocking him one by one, before tearing the crown from his head

and casting him to the

ground. When each

member of the

pack has spat or urinated on the fallen alpha, the rite is done.

System

Standard roll. The fallen alpha los­ es four points of Honor Renown and two points of Wisdom Renown. If he ever becomes a pack alpha again, he suffers a –3 penalty to all Lead­ ership actions until he either relinquishes the position or wins some great victory for his pack through his leadership.
