'''Bawn:''' Through the mountains surrounding the lake, off the Lake Range where one is prohibited from entering, in a line of trees and rocks, passing there leaves the intruder with a sense of "someone is watching" them. Garou and the like are urged to howl greeting, which is returned. Those that don't are quickly discovered by the large unhappy Native American Warder.

'''Living Area:''' About half a mile beyond the edge of the bon is a ring of semi permanent and permanent homes for garou and some kin. These range from small personal homes, to tents, to ti-pis and such. There is a central fire area where people gather on a casual level away from the assembly area, and a building made of stone and wood that houses the elders, their kin, and the libraries of garou stemmed tales, most of which are in process of being backed up with modern technology by some trusted galliards.

'''Carern Heart:''' Tall standing stones in a semi circle around a fire pit marks the heart. The stones are blank faced, naturally cut and standing, the fire pit is lit through moots and other times of importance.

'''Assembly Area:''' The assembly area is a large shallow pit, in the center there is a log used for the center point, all around the slope is the seating area. This area easily accommodates everyone at the sept as well as quite a few kinfolk. The area has trees surrounding it blocking out the sky and providing ample cover in poor weather and cold. The center most point can also be used for a large fire for moots.

'''Grave:''' The Pyramid Lake Sept don't bury their dead, they usually cremate and spread the ashes in the forests around the caern to fertilize the land for more life to grow.

'''Shrines:''' Through a small thicket of trees, in the branches are shiny bits collected and placed in the trees to honor the great spirit, other smaller trees hold items of importance to other spirits as well.
