=Developing occasions for gatherings=
Uratha come together for gatherings, so what does this mean? Which pack hosts the gatherings? How many packs attend? Do all the Uratha who attend the gathering leave their territory empty? How will the host of the gathering persuade the insular Uratha packs to leave the territory? 

What sort of rites and rituals are performed at the gatherings? Some ideas include:

<ul><li>an ‘opening ceremony’ to venerate Luna
<li>separate tribal gatherings to venerate their particular totem
<li>a spirit hunt, where a spirit is ceremonially captured and released. (What if something goes wrong and last of the spirit’s essence is accidentally devoured by a werewolf? This could be a disastrous omen for the future).
<li>discussion of recent events on pack territories. What overall picture of the region is emerging as this information is being exchanged? Are there increasing incursions of Pure Tribe assaults? What’s the shape taking place in the Shadow Realm?
<li>recitation of deeds and stories
<li>any formal challenges that are to be witnessed in front of gathered Uratha
<li>any legal disputes – has anyone violated the Oath? (e.g. A tabloid newspaper could displaying stories about ‘wolfmen’ or ‘Sasquatch’ legends downtown. More aggressive packs who use explosives and high-assault rifles to blow up their quarry could be drawing police attention as terrorists).
discussion of any disputes or issues that may have arisen since the last gathering.</ul>
