The Sept #FOI.Sept
**ST Note** This is where the main portion of the play will occur and be centered around #FOI.Sept **
There are lots of hidden area's around the sept as well as not so hidden areas. The place is a plethora of things to explore, see, find, and generally enjoy.
Please see 'Maps' for a full detailed listing of everything available on each floor.
The entire Sept is decorated with an old rustic feel to it, a lot of wood and rock used and there is modern lighting as well as back up generators.
Things to note: Every hearth has a spirit in it that keeps it burning, it will never turn down an offering of gnosis. There is still wood that is placed in a caddie beside the fire for you, but a lot less is needed less frequently.
Below is a picture of the main sitting area (though it is quite large with a lot of different seating options) the only portion of it that is off limits is the Alpha and Beta's chair which sits before the hearth.
**ST Note** This is where the main portion of the play will occur and be centered around #FOI.Sept **
All of the property is owned by one owner and is surrounded on three sides by crown property.
Set back many many miles away from the main lodge and away from the skiing and hiking trails (40 miles past the trails) the sept can be located. Although there are a few ways that one might come to be here, the most likely of ways is from the moonpath located in a hidden location in the main lodge itself that few people know of it's location until you are brought through it to the caern.
Please see the Maps page for a full layout.

Alpha's Rules
Rule 1.
Respect all, for all are of Gaia. In the most simplistic of terms, this means we do not go provoking fights with our sept mates. Yes, there will be disagreements, and arguments will break out. If it is warranted, these are to be handled accordingly, in the ring with the Master of Challenges, or a ranking Philodox. This also means that you are expected to treat all here with respect and you will not let prior bias and animosity colour your actions. Disrespecting this law, and our sept mates will earn you a very swift punishment.
Rule 2.
Do not anger the spirits. Our Sept is the home to many spirits, Fera and Garou alike. Angering the spirits here, in a place of rest and healing will earn you a much harsher punishment than picking a fight with your sept mates.
Rule 3.
Respect the territory of another and that of the sept. If you seek to disrespect another’s territory, or to take it, you will find yourself expelled from this sept and shunned by all who dwell here
Rule 4.
Kin are not territory, they are not possessions or property. The kin residing here enjoy a freedom not seen amongst the Garou and that is to be respected and afforded to all Kin who join us. There is room to have a say in the actions of the kin of your tribe or breed, but it is important that Garou and Fera expect different things from their kin. Garou will not dictate the behaviour of the Fera kin, and vice versa. Fera and Garou may challenge kin, and Kin may challenge Fera, so long as the challenge is overseen by the master of the challenge and the terms are deemed fair for all involved. Anyone caught abusing the kin of any tribe or breed will suffer a very harsh punishment. This is a sept of peace and healing, and cruelty will not be tolerated.
Rule 5.
The Fera, in many cases do not have the same views regarding shifter breeding with shifter, this is to be respected. The Garou litany is not the litany of all shifters. Each Breed of shifter will handle such in their own manner, according to their own codes and litany. We, as a sept, will in turn honor their ruling. Inter-breeding amongst the shifters will not be punished when permission has been sought from the elders of both fera or shifter involved.
Rule 6.
The Metis are to be treated fairly. Not all Shifters hold to the Garou Litany, and this is to be remembered. Even when the union is forbidden, the Metis are not to be punished for the crimes of their parents. All are of Gaia, and are to be treated with the respect they deserve.
Rule 7.
Hospitality. This is a sept of peace, of rest, of healing. Bring us your broken, your downtrodden, your wounded and your discarded. We will see to their healing and rest, before they rejoin the war. We will turn no Gaian away who seeks sanctuary so long as they abide by the rules of the sept.
Rule 8.
The large tree in the clearing at the back of the lodge is off limits to all
Update: 1.0 - The Litany.
While the alpha's laws are the overall rules of the sept itself, the rules for each faction of fera still remains in place. And you are expected as fera to follow them. Mokole follow their litany, the Garou will follow theirs, Bastet, Corax, Rokea, Kitsune, Nuwisha, Gurahl, ect.
Update: 1.1 - Weapons outside the dojo.
Due to the overwhelming number of folks who have arrived at the sept armed to the teeth with weaponry, there is a new law going into effect. From now on, there will be no weapons allowed to be drawn on sept grounds except for the dojo for any reason. The only exception will be made if a garou is frenzied and there are kin in danger, or there is legitimate danger. Otherwise, anyone caught with weapons drawn and pointed towards someone will have their weapons confiscated by the wyrmfoe for a length of time. This sept is not a war sept, it is a sept of healing. Anyone caught breaking this new law will be seriously reprimanded.
If someone wishes to draw their weapons, there is a Dojo made specifically for it.
