Caern Totem |
Stag |
"Great Stag is an ancient spirit embodying masculinity, virility and the wild power of nature. He includes both light and dark, dividing the world between the wild and the tame, the living and the dead, rather than between good and evil, and his Gifts aren't always comfortable to those with a strong ethical sense. Sometimes his avatar appears to guide or aid lost Garou - he teaches responsibility to the whole world, including humanity, as well as leading the Wild Hunt." (Laws of the Wild p.244) |

Tribal Totems |
Chimera |
"Chimera is an enigma. She ofMany Faces is the master example for the Stargazers tribe, who earn her special favor for their willingness to pierce through layers of illusion and confusion to find inner wisdom." (Laws of the Wild p.246) |
Stargazers Tribe Totem |
Cockroach |
"Cockroach is perhaps the definitive totem of the modern age. (Glass Walkers say there’s no “perhaps” about it.) It is hardy, quick and persistent, and its kin are everywhere in the city." (Laws of the Wild p.246) |
Glass Walkers Tribe Totem |
Falcon |
"Falcon is a noble spirit, looking deeply into the Garou heart and rewarding virtue and honor where he finds them. He unites the Silver Fangs in a shared vision of excellence in duty, and his tribe's lapses do not reflect poorly on him in most Garou's eyes." (Laws of the Wild p.243) |
Silver Fangs Tribe Totem |
Fenris |
"The all-devouring god of wolves was a totem long before the Norse began to spin tales of the Fenrir, but their hymns and stories captured his essence so well that they’ve become nearly universal among Fenris’ children. He is powerful, bloodthirsty and completely devoted to combat without mercy. He especially favors the Get of Fenris, but is willing to accept other packs who reject giving or receiving quarter and who frequently blood themselves with the life essence of their foes." (Laws of the Wild p.245) |
Get of Fenris Tribe Totem |
Grandfather Thunder |
"Grandfather Thunder is more feared than respected. His patience and subtlety set the example for his Shadow Lord children. He seldom sends one of his own avatars to packs that serve him; his Stormcrows usually act on his behalf." (Laws of the Wild p.243) |
Shadow Lords Tribe Totem |
Griffin |
"Griffin mourns extinct species, and carries a special rage against the human beings responsible for so many extinctions. His Red Talon children share this anger, and his Gifts make them better instruments of revenge. Note that to Griffin there’s precious little difference between the European land developer who wipes out species for housing tracts and the aborigine who kills species with slash-and-burn agriculture or over-hunting, no matter how much the targeted humans might try to make distinctions." (Laws of the Wild p.245) |
Red Talons Tribe Totem |
Owl |
"Owl watches and strikes silently. He holds hidden wisdom, and inspires his favored children, the Silent Striders, to do the same. He flies with death even into the Dark Umbra; the widespread belief that owls are spirits of the vengeful dead aren’t completely baseless." (Laws of the Wild p.246-7) |
Silent Striders Tribe Totem |
Pegasus |
"Pegasus is concerned with sacred places above all else, and gives its Black Fury children gifts to let them move to sacred places in danger and defend them. Pegasus will not accept a pack with any Get of Fenris members." (Laws of the Wild p.244) |
Black Furies Tribe Totem |
Rat |
"Rat is fast and quiet, the master of hit-and-run warfare and the neutralization of the enemy’s strength. He fights to weaken, then destroy." (Laws of the Wild p.245) |
Bone Gnawers Tribe Totem |
Stag |
"Great Stag is an ancient spirit embodying masculinity, virility and the wild power of nature. He includes both light and dark, dividing the world between the wild and the tame, the living and the dead, rather than between good and evil, and his Gifts aren't always comfortable to those with a strong ethical sense. Sometimes his avatar appears to guide or aid lost Garou - he teaches responsibility to the whole world, including humanity, as well as leading the Wild Hunt." (Laws of the Wild p.244) |
Fianna Tribe Totem |

Children of Gaia Tribe Totem |
Wendigo |
"Wendigo descends from the north, wrapped in ice and roaring like the wind. He teaches his children the relentless fury of the storm and the power that comes in the utter frozen desolation of passion." (Laws of the Wild p.246) |

Fenris |
"The all-devouring god of wolves was a totem long before the Norse began to spin tales of the Fenrir, but their hymns and stories captured his essence so well that they’ve become nearly universal among Fenris’ children. He is powerful, bloodthirsty and completely devoted to combat without mercy. He especially favors the Get of Fenris, but is willing to accept other packs who reject giving or receiving quarter and who frequently blood themselves with the life essence of their foes."

Little Koda |
Little Koda appears in the umbra as a white bear cub, his fur fluffy and soft and almost luminous. He is playful in the summer months, and drowsily affectionate in the winter ones. Little Koda often appears in place of Mama Koda when she is petitioned, and the two are sometimes seen together. Little Koda gets on well with the youngest of the sept and is occasionally found curled up with someone asleep. |

Kirin Karkadunn |
Kirin Karkadunn is a rarely seen beautiful, delicate unicorn incarna, with fur as white and soft as snow, and a horn that is almost mother-of-pearl to see. She is known to speak English, in tones as warm and gentle as a kindly mother, and she is known to be deeply compassionate and gentle, abhoring violence and cruelty. She requires those she takes under her patronage to strive for healing and mediation, to learn to listen as well as speak, and to strive to protect the innocent from cruelty. |

Kardunn |
a black unicorn jaggling, formerly a pack totem |
|
Mama Koda |
Mother of the Winter Den, or Mama Koda, is an imposing and fully adult white-furred bear. She is larger than the average bear, and her movements have the slow grace and powder that go with it. Often compassionate and playful like Little Koda, when she is roused, Mama Koda can be extremely intimidating and is definately not a spirit to cross. Whilst actively friendly with many garou, Mama Koda is a spirit powerful enough to be a caern totem in her own right. Most are unsure just why she lingers at this sept where Stag is the caern totem, though it is known that this sept has had other caern totems and names in the past, as witnessed by the tunnels and old burial sites. |
