Editing User:StarHawk/Werewolf/O'Brien Brewery

'''Totems:''' Dana

'''Rank:''' 4

'''Gauntlet:''' 4

'''Type:''' Wisdom

'''The Brewery:''' The brewery itself is a building about fifty or so feet from the road, its hard packed dirt parking lot always half full. The building is squat looking, with casual entrances, one business facing another a large roll up door for the company truck to make picks ups and drop offs. The sign is old and faded and sits precariously on the edge of the roof. Not many from the road notice the building, and fewer care.

'''The Bawn:''' There is a large white-washed fence that lines the grounds around and behind the brewery. A quaint gate is set up off to the side of the hard packed dirt parking lot that permits a form of entrance. The gate is under lock and key, normally one would need permission from those inside the brewery to have access.

'''Living Area:''' On the eastern face of the brewery is another large squat looking building, this one obviously a home. The O'Brien home houses some kin and some garou. The house is run by "Mama" O'Brien, a retired garou that still isn't up for taking lip from pups, or those she sees a pups. The O'Brien's put up a dozen garou year round, with five or six that float, with room for a few more. The living space is tight, but there is always a roof over one's head, and a meal on the table three times a day.

'''Caern Heart:''' Deep in the hills, far from the eyes of the road, is a tall tree standing since the opening of the caern, carved into the bark is the old garou tales of Dana, Luna, and the caern.

'''Assembly Area:''' In easy viewing distance from the tree of Dana, is a long gazebo building. Surrounding the area is dirt-built steps which double as seating area when the need comes up. The gazebo has seating inside. Primarily around a permanent fire pit, there is room for two dozen garou, with open room around for more to find a place.

'''Graves of the Hallowed Heroes:''' In a thicket of trees stands a rock mound. Each rock is marked with a name of a fallen garou, and there the rocks continue to pile up as years go on. The largest rocks, standing in the ground behind the growing pile one has the name "Father" plainly on the front, the other has "Mother" on it. They stand watching over the other deceased garou.

'''Shrine:''' Not far from the grave site is a den burrowed into the earth. Accessible in Lupus form one can enter and witness the trinkets of power gathered for Dana. Inside the walls are carved with dirt shelves lined with random jelwery, rocks, metals, feathers, bits of cloth. At the far end of the burrow on the opposite end of the entrance is a mirror, signifying the greatest gift to the all mother is her garou.

==Council of Elders==
The elders are a group of three to thirteen Athro (rank 4) or better ranked garou that oversee the spiritual, political and even militant needs of the sept. At this time of year there are only five, though there is an additional elder that has residence in the caern when he comes by.

<big> '''Levi "Guinness" O'Brien'''</big><br>
<small>Homid Galliard ''Athro'' of the Fianna Tribe </small><br>
The direct decedent of Rory O'Brien the line has stayed true and now decades later the O'Briens still have an elder on the council at their home caern. Levi is a Fianna Galliard like his father before him, and his father before that. The O'Briens carry a deep seated line of tales that date back to their homes in Dublin and before.

<big> '''Collin "Silver-Tongued Son" Wyrmfoe Smith'''</big><br>
<small>Homid Philodox ''Elder'' of the Silver Fang Tribe </small><br>
Another old line among those in the caern, Collin Smith is a decedent from the House of Wyrmfoe, his mother the Silver Fang Ahroun Debbie Minced Meat Wyrmfoe married kin, and Collin now steps in her place as council member. He is a Philodox of the tribe, and carries the weight of the Law and Litany heavily on his shoulders.

<Big>'''Katiana "Hell-Bent" Rominov'''</big><br>
<small>Homid Theurge ''Athro'' of the Shadow Lords Tribe </small><br>
Perhaps less known, Katiana is no less intimidating with her strict ways of Shadow Lords and her sway with the spirits. This Theurge is both council member and oversees many of the rites, when allowed by the rite master.

<big>'''Darcy "Pen" Krogen'''</big><br>
<small>Lupus Ragabash ''Athro'' of the Black Fury Tribes </small><br>
To further impress the diversity Darcy stands as a representative of the Black Furies. She moved to Nevada from her home in Louisiana, and took an instant liking to Levi. The two have an unspoken agreement to never mate, though they keep extremely close. This has made "Pen" a great number of enemies in the caern, she refuses to care, and no one is especially eager to stand in the Ragabash's way. 

<big>'''Robert "Washichu" Irving'''</big><br>
<small>Metis Ahroun ''Athro'' of the Wendigo Tribe</small><br>
Robbie is unique to the caern as he is the only representative of the Wendigo tribe here. Though one wouldn't consider it uncommon with a Wendigo and Uktena caern within a few hours of travel. Robbie is here though where he is respected and appreciated, he would not have it any other way. His short fuse and american ways have caused a rift between him and his people, one he does not wish to increase in their presence so he is here.

<big>'''Kaleb "Roar of Sekhmet" Halloran'''</big><br>
<small>Homid Philodox ''Elder'' of the Silent Strider Tribe</small><br>
Kaleb is away traveling to assist his tribe, and while he travels often he leaves matters in the trusting hands of Collin in his absence. When he is at the caern, Kaleb is the Grand Elder, being the eldest and highest ranked werewolf. He is the alpha of the elders and has the most say among them. He is calm and respectful to all, but cross the litany and you will have hell to pay.

==Warder==
The warder is the equivalent of the sept's head of security. His word is law when it comes to protecting the sept and the immediately surrounding Brewery. The Warder's words can even override the council's in time of danger. He can not demand packs to do missions outside the caern, but he can demand they stay behind in times of war.

<big>'''Henry "Cleaver" Dawson'''</big><br>
<small>Homid Ahroun ''Adren'' of the Get of Fenris Tribe</small><br>
Cleaver is a large man that carries a large silver axe, and is covered in anti-semitic tattoos. While he doesn't have many friends for his human past, he still holds respect as a garou. On the outside he is a calm and collected man, he keeps to himself and rarely speaks unless spoken to. On the inside he is a twisted tortured man full of supernatural rage that is always on the edge of his mind, the only thing keeping him from being an unhinged ball of death is his guilt.

==Master of the Rite==
The master of the rite monitors all rites performed at the caern; it is her duty to ensure that no one calls upon powers that would be dangerous to unleash within the caern. One would need her permission to do a rite in the caern and she usually is as hand to make sure nothing goes wrong.

<big>'''Noni "Eyes of the Moon"'''</big><br>
<small>Lupus Theurge ''Adren'' of the Uktena Tribe</small><br>
Noni appears as an old wolf eyes cataract and foggy but she gets around just fine. She is rarely outside of her lupus form, when she is, she means business. Her approach to rituals is unique to her tribe, and there is no one better around. She has dual residency both as this caern and at the Reservation caern out by Pyramid Lake.

==Gatekeeper==
The gatekeeper is in charge of any moon bridges opened in or to the caern. His responsibilities usually means he has to stay in the caern and places him in a unique position that leaves him at the heart of any political machinations involving other septs.

<big>'''"Fenced in Fury" O'Driscoll'''</big><br>
<small>Lupus Theurge ''Fostern'' of the Fianna Tribe</small><br>
Brian is a bright and young apprentice to Noni. While she and many others don't love his heritage and means of birth, the garou is a good tool and worthy weapon of Gaia. His parents were put to death or exiled shortly after his birth so he is attached to his elders as parental figures. Noni, Katiana, and Levi especially.

==Keeper of the Land==
The Keeper of the Land is the caern's caretaker, who is entrusted with the duty of keeping the caern's lands well maintained. Not all tribes see the need for such office but some spirits value a well tended caern.

<big>'''Billy "Pees in Trees" Gallagher'''</big><br>
<small>Metis Ragabash ''Adren'' of the Fianna Tribe</small><br>
Billy takes great pride in his work, and while he wanders around in a janitor's coveralls with a bucket and mop more commonly than not, others take his station seriously too. Billy is a good natured soul who believes it is his duty to Gaia to be a teacher, despite his auspice. He and Cleaver are actually best friends, though one might wonder if Cleaver always is chasing down Billy with his axe.

==Master of the Challenge==
Is one sept member challenges another its the Master of the Challenge that oversees the clash. It is his job to ensure no duel goes too far and to impartially judge any challenges of gamecraft, riddles or test of character.

<big>'''Eddie "Checker Head" McGinnley'''</big><br>
<small>Homid Philodox ''Adren'' of the Fianna Tribe</small><br>
Eddie is a jolly fellow, he speaks in such a thick accent that many have a hard time understanding him but he is a great guy to have around. He is a scrawny fellow lean in build with a big heart.
