Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

denied them are available for the taking, and threats heretofore neglected are
waiting to be faced and overcome. A new, potentially bloodier gold rush is in
the offing for any werewolf pack with the will and courage to stake a claim.
POINT S OF INTEREST
This legacy of conflict and reclamation has turned the
Rockies into a thrilling and dangerous place for a werewolf
pack to stake out territory. The following is an overview of
where some of the best territory can be found and what
sorts of challenges must be overcome to make it one’s own.
Formed long before either man or wolf walked the earth,
the Rockies are an enduring testament to the awesome
beauty of nature, and competition among Uratha for these
awesome territories is fierce.
WILD TERRITORY
The Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, located along
the eastern slope, is where many Hunters in Darkness claim
their territories. The Front Range is also a favorite of the Storm
Lords, since it’s a breeding ground for some of the nation’s
most chaotic weather conditions. Many of their packs have
territories among the mountain peaks, far above the regions
claimed by the Hunters in Darkness. The foothills of the Rockies
are prime territory for the Iron Masters as well, since it’s close
enough to the city to provide easy access but is still unquestionably
part of the Rockies proper. The Western Slope includes the
sparsely populated Rockies on the western side of the Continental
Divide. This is no man’s land as far as the Rocky Mountain
Forsaken are concerned, as anyone can have territories here,
but they typically don’t have strong ties to much of anyone in
eastern Colorado.
The crown jewel of the Colorado Rockies is the Rocky
Mountain National Park, and the highest point within it is
Long’s Peak. The peaks are known for their sudden electrical
storms, and Long’s Peak, being the tallest, is exceedingly
dangerous. The Shadow Realm here crackle with ball lightning,
and these spirits sometimes leap across the Gauntlet into storm
clouds to wreak havoc. Storm Lords have claimed much of the
territory around Long’s Peak, including the awe-inspiring Storm
Lodge at the summit, and they’ve managed to forge tense but
solid working relationships with the greater elemental spirits there.
The park is also home to one of the most powerful loci
in North America. The place is called Sakendar Isi in the
First Tongue, and it’s zealously guarded by the pack known as
Mountain’s Proud Children. Members of this pack concentrate
the bulk of their energy on keeping the park’s spiritscape immaculately
maintained, trusting to the humans to manage the park
and keep it safe from interlopers. The assault by the Pure Tribes
during the upheaval caused by Gurdilag’s usurpation, however,
proved that this task was beyond the capabilities of any single
pack. Uratha with territories in the vicinity of Rocky Mountain
National Park are trying to work out a deal in which they help
protect the sacred site in exchange for increased access to its
spiritual bounty. Others are simply abandoning their territory
altogether and devoting their attention full time toward taking
Sakendar Isi for themselves.
