The North Star is a Totem of Respect.
Overview[]
When the banks of the Nile were the Silent Striders’ greatest concern, the tribe had little use for the North Star (known as Vegarda to many Garou), and she cared little for them. After the Striders were expelled from Egypt and scattered to the wind, their millennia of wandering under the North Star’s light, reliant on her guidance to find their way, softened the brilliant, hard heart of the Incarna. She sent her spirit children to the Striders to share her gifts to aid travelers, and to watch over them as totem spirits.

Traits & Ban[]
Traits[]
Each member of a pack that follows the North Star receives two dice of Survival. They also receive the skill Area Knowledge at two dice for any location in the Northern Hemisphere where the light of the stars is not overwhelmed by man-made light (no large cities but small towns and rural areas). Upon acquiring the North Star as a totem, each member of the pack gains one temporary Honor Renown.
Ban[]
The North Star requires that her packs travel often, accepting all legitimate quests and message-carrying duties.
